Manipulating scenes
A scene is one of several kinds of files (also known as assets) in our project. A scene can mean different things according to the type of project or the way a company is used to working, but the most common use case is to separate your game into whole sections, the most common ones being the following:
- Main Menu
- Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, …, Level N
- Victory Screen and Lose Screen
- Splash Screen and Loading Screen
In this section, we will cover the following concepts related to scenes:
- The purpose of a scene
- The Scene View
- Creating our first GameObject
- Navigating the Scene View
- Manipulating GameObjects
So, let's take a look at each of these concepts.
