I’ve been doing Unity/C# for about 6 months now and was wanting to take my practice to work in my down time. The problem is I can’t install anything on the work computer…
Is there any site that anyone knows where you can practice Unity coding in browser without using the actual engine. I realize I can’t use the engine but a practice site where you can code in browser and get some feedback if it’s right or wrong.
Yeah haha, I was going to just bring my desktop in and use a switch to change back and forth… I thought maybe there was something in browserish that would work but was pretty sure there wasn’t (obviously due to having to use the engine). Thanks for replying
None of the links posted will help at all unless the only thing you’re having trouble with is syntax. Ultimately, Unity is always going to be more than that because you’ll never be able to properly observe cause and effect outside of what you can see in a very generic terminal.
You need unity engine. Browser tools allow you code a little in C#, but they do not allow you to run unity. Without unity those exercises are useless, unless you’re studying syntax or C# WITHOUT unity.
So either you use a laptop to run unity, or a laptop with a remote desktop tool to connect to a computer at home that runs unity, or see if you can run unity on a dedicated windows server you pay for. I’m unsure IF you can run unity on a windows server, by the way.
Depending on your wokplace’s security policies, you could maybe remote desktop from the work PC to your personal computer. Basically what @neginfinity said but without extra hardware
One can have a fairly full fledged IDE in the browser - VSC has a browser mode (I’ve used it at work sometimes from a remote PC): Visual Studio Code for the Web
That of course does not really help you with Unity development if you need the editor, as others have said. But you could roughly write algorithms and architectural stuff etc.
Just based on what I’ve seen on the scripting forums there are plenty who fall into this category. Obviously you’ll need knowledge of the Unity API to accomplish anything in Unity, but I also see a lot of people who don’t understand how a for-loop or an array works.
