Hey,
I have decided to give Java Script a peek, I have never used it and need to know some good places to start - any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
the tutorials available in the support section.
There are also a number of people who have done unity3d game from nothing series of videos on youtube if you search a bit.
if u r good a oop then better use c# that will save time and memory also
There are so many fallacies about that statement it isnt funny… UnityScript == C# == Boo Script… they are all the same.
The deal with Javascript (UnityScript) is that it is a little kinder to the new person. Since, his thread is called “Complete Beginner” I am sure he is not good at OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
There is a link at the top of the Scripting forum called: About Scripting
Inside that is a Unity Javascript Tutorial
Those are probably the best place to start.
My suggestion, Start Simple, Yes, complex games are were you want to be, but if you start off making a big complex mess, you will quit because you don’t understand how to do the simple stuff.
Find something that is simple. (Simple as in REALLY simple, not “I want to make this work like this game” simple) Do some searches, use the Reference, and when you find something that you can’t overcome, ask.
People here are more willing to help someone who tries than someone who begs.
We’ll get into opinion territory but I find the Microsoft Visual C# tools ridiculously newbie friendly. Does stuff like intellisense/autocomplete, etc exist for Javascript? I know there are some programs out there but I’ve found them to be vastly inferior to C# Express 2008.
Hell, if you are using C#, Mono comes with Unity and does autocomplete, etc.
Yea, and IMO, its rubbish compared to C# 2008 Express… for example, start typing in this completely valid C# code and see how the auto-complete actually starts hindering you.
var list = new List();
list.Add(“some string”);
And does the auto complete exist for UnityScript/JavaScript as well?
Funny, I do all of my Unity programming in the UniSciTE editor provided, It has autocomplete to a degree, it shows you basic little stuff, but I am a coder, I know to start with what I am doing… Where upon you guys are way off topic here.
This is Erkeljackson’s thread and I am sure he did not post a simple question of where to begin to be answered by endless rants over what is better, or what IDE to use. He wanted to know where to start in Javascript…
My remark was simply to put in place the statement that OOP is best used in C#. Since both languages are the same this would be a falsehood.
Monodevelop does autocomplete with UnityScript too, yes.
Oh, and C# does not “save memory”, hehe.
