Course Description
In these lessons, you will learn how to code C# (C Sharp) scripts to control GameObjects in Unity using the Visual Studio Editor. Scripting, or coding, is a critical aspect of game development in Unity, or any game engine, allowing users to create custom game mechanics and functionality to enhance gameplay. We’ll show you how Unity provides a powerful scripting API, and you’ll discover what you can achieve with it.
In order to create a game or interactive project in Unity, you will need to create some code to control actions and objects in your scene. Coding can seem overwhelming at first glance, but we will explain what C# is and how to create basic scripts to start building your skills to create more involved code. We’ll also cover syntax and error handling so that, when you’re done, you will have a basic interaction between an object and pickup Prefabs.
