ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity Tutorial: 3D Object Scene Layer Attribute Filtering

Posted on by Patrick Fluke



Class is in session! In this tutorial, I will give you some hands-on experience of how you can work with attributes in 3D objects that are included in video games. Specifically, in this tutorial, you will learn how you can use C# code via the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity to programmatically access attributes contained in a 3D Object Scene layer. Using this approach, you can use attributes to modify the display of game objects. The hands-on example is based on a tutorial that is linked below. However, I make a point of showing you how you can start to think independently from the tutorial so that you can begin to build your own map-based video game experiences. If you are interested in learning more about how geographic information systems (GIS) can be used to build video games using the Unity technology, this video will be of interest for you to get started in this direction. This video was recorded during one of my lectures at the Rochester Institute of Technology and is part of a bigger series on how to begin using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity

How I made my first game with the Godot engine

Posted on by Patrick Fluke



This is my journey of making my very first game in the godot game engine. It’s a simple 2D choice based game. In the game I’ve used 2D sprites, tilemaps, and some scripting/coding to complete my objective.

Originally I wanted to create a game that you pick a hand, and you either win or lose. In the end it turned it a find the impostor type game. I believe the hardest part is finishing a game project of any kind no matter how small. I hope you enjoy my fumbling with godot.

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity Tutorial: Adding 3D Scene Layer Objects and Creating a Scene using C#

Posted on by Patrick Fluke



Class is in session! In this tutorial, I will give you some hands-on experience of how you can start to begin to build video games using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity. Specifically, in this tutorial, you will learn how you can add 3D Objects Scene layers that are published to ArcGIS online into a Unity scene that will be used to create a map using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity. In particular, I will show you how you can create the scene using C# code. The hands-on example is based on a tutorial that is linked below. However, I make a point of showing you how you can start to think independently from the tutorial so that you can begin to build your own map-based video game experiences. If you are interested in learning more about how geographic information systems (GIS) can be used to build video games using the Unity technology, this video will be of interest for you to get started in this direction.
