A common point of confusion amongst beginners in Unity is how to transfer a Unity project from one computer to another, as there are many ways this can be done. In this article, we will be exploring these methods, as well as their pros and cons.
Recently, one of our clients building their website on WordPress with us had a requirement — they wanted to have a URL base structure for their author pages that was different from the WordPress default. Instead of the default /author/[username] structure, they wanted to use /authors/[username] instead. Although there are plugins for this, we decided to implement it into the theme we were developing for the client to make the functionality as lightweight as possible.
Turns out, the implementation was pretty simple, as WordPress has built-in hooks for this. To update the author page URLs, we need to do 2 things:
Unity provides game developers with a robust platform to create immersive experiences. Once you’ve completed your Unity project, it’s time to export it as an executable (.exe) file, allowing others to play your game on Windows. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of exporting a Unity project as an executable game on Windows, covering important considerations along the way.
