Congratulations!
You've found the treasure chest. Now, how on earth do you open it?
🔑 Installing Rider
I highly recommend downloading and installing Rider. It is far better than Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, especially for Unity development. It also makes addressing any issues easier and quicker.
- Create a JetBrains account and register for an educational license here.
- Download JetBrains Rider here.
- Open Rider, click on "Configure" > "Settings" > "Appearance & Behaviour" > "New UI"
- Close Rider
🧬 Cloning the GitHub repository
- Open up Rider again & follow this guide.
📂 Opening the project in Unity
- If, when the cloned project opens, you can see a Unity logo located at the top next to the run button, click it and select "Open Unity". I recommend using this technique every time you open the project, otherwise you must open either application manually.
- If you don't see the Unity logo, just open up the Unity editor from Unity Hub. Make sure to open in the same version,
