So, I’ve put off learning to make games for quite some time because of the OS I’m using. To clarify why, it’s because each lesson I read on how to get started with Unity utilizes Visual Studio, which everyone knows is Windows based. I’m at a loss as to what to use for OS X. My friend and I plan on learning to code together for Unity, with him working on Windows and I working on Mac. He seems ready to go, but I’m just quite confused as to how to even get out of the gate due to my OS. Any help would be appreciated.
*Running VS in Bootcamp or VMWare Fusion is out of the question entirely.
In the end they are both just fancy text editors so it really makes no difference as far as code goes. You could use TextEdit if you want (not recommended, but it would technically work).
There’s no such thing as a “Windows language”. It was made by Microsoft, but it’s just a language; it compiles to runnable code like every other language.
