Let’s put the theory into practice. Below is a complete, for Unity. Create a new script named JengaManager.cs and paste the following.
A simple script should not require hand-placing 54 blocks. Use a loop. Simple Jenga Script

Create a new C# script named JengaBlockInteraction and attach it to your . This script uses a Raycast to detect which block you are clicking. A simple script should not require hand-placing 54 blocks
| Engine | Simplicity Factor | Key Scripting Difference | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Easiest | Physics are automatic. Your script mainly manages WeldConstraints and raycasting. | | Unity (C#) | Moderate | You must code the drag-and-drop mechanics using OnMouseDrag and manage rigidbody constraints manually. | | Scratch | Hardest | No native physics. You fake the tower using clones and pen drawing. A "simple" script here is over 200 blocks. | | HTML5/Three.js | Complex | You need to import a physics library (like Cannon.js) just to get started. "Simple" is relative. |
Unity is the most popular engine for this type of project because of its robust 3D physics engine, NVIDIA PhysX. To write a in Unity, you will need a few ingredients:
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections.Generic;
