Hello, 3 friends and I have decided to learn UnityScript to develop games together. We would like to know if we can just learn plain javascript. For example, if we went on youtube to find a tutorial series would we have to look up UnityScript tutorial or JavaScript tutorial. I looked up UnityScript tutorials and one was outdated and the rest were bad. Do you have any tips on how to learn. Any posts would be appreciated.
Cheers!
UnityScript is not JavaScript. Learn C#, it’s simple to learn and far more useful.
I do think C# is taking over as being more commonplace in Unity (unsubstantiated speculation here, just from what I have been noticing lately), having said that if you are already familiar with Javascript and have no experience in C# then just learn UnityScript - but be aware that it is not Javascript at all.
For a list of great tutorials you should be looking at the Teaching subforum here: http://forum.unity3d.com/forums/23-Teaching
Also, I’d like to throw these in there as well: https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?q=Unity
Most are not free, but Udemy has some great stuff
Do u have any pervious experience in other programming language?
For me, I learnt actionscript 3 before unity, and I found unityscript is similiar to actionscript, so I have easier time leaning unityscipt. >>>Unityscript is not Javascript<<< Recommend US for people with as3 / JS experience.
For beginners, C#. AFAIK C# isn’t especially difficult, but is useful on other Development program too. C3 tends to compile faster than Unityscript. I also heard C3 is more robust but I don’t know what that exactly mean.
If you want to be a serious Unity developer learn and use C#.
