Unity is a game engine, and also a piece of software that allows you to make games for said engine.

If you are new here and interested in game development. Then I recommend you start with the Beginner Game Development with Unity track, rather than jumping into a random course.

Tracks are collections of courses that are organized in a logical way, so that you don't end up starting a course that expects you to have already completed another course.

The first course in that track will explain what a game engine is, and take you through the steps of getting Unity installed on your machine.

Perfect thanks I appreciate it it was really helpful

but Andren please tell me also were i can find the download of unity please :(
