Hi everyone, I really searched a lot to find a similar topic to mine but I couldn’t find any. Is there someone who can show me some directions about this question?
To be more precise; we have a small code that works, alright, which has about 6-7 classes in separate files. I was going to create the UI with NetBeans, but I really don’t like the outcome.
So I decided to use Unity, maybe even with a 3D interface, 2D is totally fine if I can make it anyways.
My question would be where to start? How can I import these codes? Should I just create the project and paste the files under the scripts? And create a UI on them? And how can I start creating the UI with regard to the code so that the UI would use the code implemented in the scripts?
I’m very new to this, so please be patient. I am thankful to any help as well.
Any idea where I can create a GUI using this existing code? I already have Unity and thought I could make something great without changing the existing code. I wish I could turn it into C# to be able to use Unity. I don’t want to use NetBeans to be honest.
And thanks for the links ^^ I already have a Roll-a-Ball game hehe
No. Unity uses a WYSIWYG approach to UI. Plus the existing code wouldn’t be compatible with Unity since it is intended for a completely different language and framework. There will likely be things that simply cannot be converted over identically so an automatic process would at best only handle part of it.
So should I use NetBeans for this particular project since the written code isn’t mine it’ll take forever for me to convert it to C#. Or are there any other programs meant to do this and is better than NetBeans?
Netbeans is just a Java IDE. You’ll have to learn to code in Java in order to make a fully functional UI in Netbeans that interfaces with your 3rd party code you already have.
If you’re going to learn Java though you’re probably better off learning C# instead and just reimplementing your existing code in Unity from scratch. At least you’d be working with an actual game engine for your game. If this project actually isn’t a game, then maybe learning Java and using Netbeans is the right approach though.
Good thing is I already know Java and not C#, so you’re suggesting that I should code it?
I was trying to find ways to avoid writing code to be honest well, I’ll go with the old ways for this project. I will be learning Unity for my game project later on.
