Unity Camera Overlay

What This Repo Does

• Shows how camera stacking and camera overlay work in Unity.

Study Sequence (Recommended)

1. GameObject-Actions-by-a-Non-Monobehaviour-Class
   • Learn how to organize gameplay logic outside MonoBehaviour.
   • Focus on separation of concerns, cleaner architecture, and reusable action logic.
2. Unity-Camera-Overlay
   • Learn camera stacking, overlay behavior, and scene view composition.
   • Focus on understanding how visual layers are combined in play mode.
3. Unity Joystick Robot Simulation (Unity Asset Store — coming soon)
   • Combine architecture, camera control, joystick input, and differential drive robot simulation into one complete system.
   • Expect higher difficulty: more integration, more moving parts, and more debugging.
   • Purchasing this asset directly supports the ongoing open-source work at MageMCU and Carpenter Software.

Why This Order Helps the Robot Simulation

• Step 1 builds code structure habits.
• Step 2 builds camera and scene composition understanding.
• Step 3 becomes an integration exercise instead of a cold start.
