Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
I was in the same spot when i started doing my degree work. I had zero knowledge of Unity scripting and scripting in general but in the end i managed to pull of a fps/3rd person horror game with tons of scripting stuff. I used Java btw.. worked fine for me. Just keep practicing and start with easy and small scripts. In the… -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
In Unity c# and unity script are pretty much the same. I convert most scripts from C# to unity script and the other way around, line by line. I think Unity Script is easier to pick up compared to C#. -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
Ok so I'm feeling like this now. Coding bores me to tears already, I can't even seem to focus on it since the script just becomes a jumble of crap. I tried out the free version of Antares Universe... now we're talking. Admittedly I only made a sphere to move with the mouse, but that's further than I got with coding by… -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
Very good thread so far, thanks for the links everyone. It's surprisingly relevant for me because this week I've been trying to make my first game in Unity. As I've gone on I've begun to realize more and more that it's just going to be 100% on me to get up to snuff on programming. I was hoping that the engine combined with… -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
I think you can't go wrong with either, Javascript or c# in Unity. They are both good and can be used to make any kind of beginner game project. When i started to learn coding i feel that i was learning more the logic behind it than the coding itself. So the problem usually was just to solve the logic what code to use and… -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
I just used the Unity Script Reference on the site and just DID it, using some of the vanilla scripts as a reference for the structure and such. -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
Im currently using the playmaker plugin to make a unity game: http://www.hutonggames.com/ Its a great visual scripting language that allows you to make a whole game just by scripting with nodes. I think this visual approach is much easier for "Art" orientated people to program. Especially much easier to grasp the logic and… -

The Programming/Scripting Master Thread is a good place to start. -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
Python would probably be of the most use to you outside of making games, assuming it's used in 3D apps for making scripts, especially for Maya, Modo, and Blender. The problem is that Python isn't directly available in Unity, the closest thing is Boo. Were you to learn Python, I'm not sure exactly how much of that knowledge… -
Re: Attn: DIY game makers, how did you learn (the coding bits)?
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.
