Unity Quick Start Guide

To get up and running quicker in unity, a basic example is included with the Skillz Unity package. Follow the instructions below to run the basic example:

Download the Skillz Unity Package​

Download the Skillz unity package from the Skillz Unity Package Download Page.

Import the Skillz Unity Package​

  1. In Unity, from the menu bar, Go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.
  2. Choose the downloaded package. An Import window will appear.
  3. Select All to make sure all the package files are imported.
  4. Press Import.
  5. When prompted with Overwrite Android Build Files, Select Yes.

Running the Basic Example in the Unity Editor​

The basic example project can be run in the Unity editor using the Unity Companion.

  1. Open the build settings from File > Build Settings.

  2. Add the following scenes from Assets/Skillz/Examples/Basic Example/Scenes into the Scenes in Build in the build settings:

    • StartMenu
    • Game

  3. Ensure the StartMenu scene is at index 0.

  1. Open the StartMenu Scene in the Unity Editor.
  2. If a dialog box appears to import the Text Mesh Pro package. Select Import TMP Essentials
  3. Run the project.

The basic example should now be running in the Unity editor. This is a basic Skillz integration that can be used as a starting point for developing your own game with Skillz.

note

While running a Skillz game in the editor, the game is running in a simulated Skillz environment. You can begin development now, but this means that Skillz servers are not contacted when making Skillz API calls. In order to test your game on a mobile device there are a few more steps to consider.

Building the Game to a Mobile Device​

  1. Create a Skillz developer account and follow the instructions to create a new game on the Skillz developer console.
  2. Follow the instructions here to build to a mobile device.
