Join us for a 90-minute workshop on building virtual VR environments on the web — with no coding experience. Scripting and 3D modeling can be a barrier to entry-level simulations and game development. Join us for a 90-minute workshop where we will explore ways to work around those barriers and provide participants with alternatives to begin their game development experience. We will use WebGL and an internet browser as our target platform. Participants should bring their own laptops and have installed the latest version of Unity3D prior to arriving. (A link will be sent out after successful registration.) Open toUndergraduates, Graduate Students, Faculty, Staff, Postdocs https://www.library.nd.edu/event/introduction-to-lowcodenocode-game-development-in-unity3d-2025-03-05/
