Evaluation Before we start evaluating, we should ask ourselves what is it we want to evaluate, which metrics do we use? [Read More]

Okay the course is coming to a close and now we have to make a final project. The task is quite straightforward: select grocery items in a supermarket.

If you already have Unity installed and know how to use it, you can skip this part. [Read More]
