when ever i see this sort of advice i think to myself, really? no books? just jumping around on websites and copying bits of code smashing something together that runs without understanding the overall language concepts and philosophy? it makes me think there are a lot of people who can write code but don't really get the…
Unity's own script reference has all examples in both javascript and C#. As mentioned before it's all about grasping the concepts, then the language is fairly irrelevant. As long as you are using object oriented languages, the same methos apply in a general sense.
So, in an interesting turn of events, I think I'm actually going to go with Javascript based solely on the fact that the resources available seem a little more accessible at this stage. As many have pointed out, it seems that I can make a pretty comfortable switch to another language once I understand the concepts of…
I don't know about for Unity, but arrays are used all the time and are super useful for tons of stuff (they're sort of a core concept and very powerful/(I'd say essential) so I wouldn't skip over them. If you want to store more than one related value of something, iterate through data, organize a basic data structure, get…
Gamefromscratch also has some good info. @TeeJay: I think you've got a PS Vita so you might also be interested in the PlayStation®Mobile Developer Program and these PlayStation Mobile SDK Development tutorials. From what I understand it's all C# too.
ALSO, I shouldve linked this a while ago -- stanford school of engineering offers youtube lectures from their 3 intro to programming courses. Java and C++ covered. http://see.stanford.edu/see/courses.aspx [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMDCCdjyW8"]www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMDCCdjyW8[/ame]
If you want to start from the very beginning I can't recommend Udacity highly enough. It really has been fantastic so far, and Python is an amazing language to start with. As for course order, 101, 262, 253(if it interests you), and 212 is probably what I'd recommend, and after that the 300 and premiering 200 courses which…
The best games are the ones that are made, bad habits or not. Python is pretty fantastic, and I'm saying that as c++ programmer. Regardless though, once one has learned any language, switching is easy, it's pretty much the programming equalent of learning a 3d application, the hard part is learning have to do good art/good…
I think that rules out the PS Vita stuff... I could be wrong. C#/Unity is still doable with monodevelop, I think it comes bundled with Unity as well so you don't need to grab it from there. Personally I'm on a Mac and learning Actionscript3 for Flash/Air development atm. It seems pretty great for making games.
Ok, I'm seeing a lot of advice here and I feel like it would be helpful if I help to break things down a little. Here we go: C++, a low-level language that has the potential for amazing speed and making you brain explode. It's what I learned first but I had a VERY good teacher. I would NOT recommend you to learn this by…
