JScript vs Boo?

Greets. I bought Unity a while back, but I have had too much on my plate to really work with it until now. I’m a Python programmer, so using Boo within Unity might be the way to go. But, I’ve never used Boo, and I don’t see a lot of examples in the Wiki done in Boo.

The PDF docs which came with Unity said JScript was the preferred language. Is that still the case? I have little experience with JavaScript, but I certainly wouldn’t mind picking it up.

Would some mind taking a look at the TOC of this book and let me know if it’d be a good place to start with JavaScript? I know a lot of it is geared for the web.

Thanks for any help!

javascript is the most used still:

i know of some who use c#, and have heard of one or two in my forum travels who use boo. someone else will have to let you know about this book but there are some suggestions from past posts:

EDIT: this was started by a unity user as well:

welcome btw ; )

In case you want to use Boo:

Also the API is the almost the same whether you are using Boo or JavaScript.

The Unify Community Wiki contains Boo versions of some of the scripts. These should give you an idea how to convert the JavaScript examples in the documentation to Boo.

Thanks for the good info. If I can do everything in Boo, I’ll give that a shot to begin with. :slight_smile:
