name: unity-bootstrap description: Bootstrap a new Unity project for a 2D management/simulation game. Use when you need to create the Unity project, choose URP/UI approach, set up folder structure, gitignore, packages (Input System/TextMeshPro), and establish a minimal scene + tick loop scaffold before porting gameplay systems.

Unity Bootstrap (2D Sim)

1) Create project (Unity Hub)

• Use latest Unity LTS.
• Template: 2D (URP) if you want lighting/post; otherwise 2D Core.
• Enable packages early: Input System, TextMeshPro.

2) Git setup checklist

• Add a Unity .gitignore (ignore Library/, Temp/, obj/, Build/, Logs/).
• Commit a clean baseline after first project creation.

3) Folder structure (recommended)

• Assets/_Project/Scripts/{Core,Gameplay,UI}
• Assets/_Project/Scenes
• Assets/_Project/Prefabs
• Assets/_Project/Data (ScriptableObjects)
• Assets/_Project/Art, Assets/_Project/Audio

4) Minimal runtime scaffold

• BootScene:
  • Loads config ScriptableObjects
  • Loads save (if exists) or creates new state
  • Loads GameScene
• GameScene:
  • Has GameController with:
    • Tick loop (1 sec) + time scale (1/2/6x)
    • Hooks for UI to call commands (build, assign, upgrade)

5) Next step

• After this, use unity-migration to map and port the existing JS systems.
