This program was created by our team to allow all of our members to work together with as little over head as possible.  Its main purpose in life is to allow non-programmers that don't have access to the source code of our project to upload changes to the Unity Game Engine.

MCU must be ran as an administrator.  You can do this by right clicking it and selecting "Run as Administartor"

Getting Started:

1. Insert your authentication on the File > Account > Authentication
2. click get latest on the File > Unity > Get Latest Screen.  This will take a bit to finish and may seem like the application has frozen.  Normally its about a 40 minute wait but may depend on your internet speed to download the project.
3. Click Open Project from the menu File > Unity > Open Project
4. If the Unity web page shows up the application thinks you don't have it install.  Download it and install it then repeat step 3.  If you do have it install get a hold of the Lead Producer to let him know you found a bug.

Known Bugs:

• Application freezes when doing a get latest or check-in
  
  • This is known and the reason is because it is not multi-threaded.  If this application proves itself worth the effort we will using .NET 4.5+ to make is a multi-threaded application which will fix it seeming like it's froze and stop working.

Menu System:

• File
  • Unity
    • How to Open Project: How to document to load the project.
    • Check In: When hitting the button checkin will look for changes to the source code and Unity code that you have committed.  If any are found it uploads them to the server for the entire team to use.  This keeping the team working as a unit without submitting multiple version of our project to each other.
