For the absolute beginner to any concept of programming, writing a script can appear to be an impossible hurdle to overcome. The truth is, there are only three simple concepts to understand: 1) having some type of information; 2) using the information; and 3) communicating the information.
These three concepts are combined to access the feature set provided by Unity.Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 3D Beginner's Guide assumes that you know nothing about programming concepts. As you progress through the book, you will find that C# is not a foreign language after all, because you already know the words.
With a few keywords and using substitution, before you know it, you'll be thinking in code.The book starts by explaining in simple terms the three concepts you need for writing C# code and scripts: 1) variables to hold information; 2) methods (functions) to use the information; and 3) Dot Syntax to communicate the information where it's needed. You will use this new power to access the features provided in Unity's Scripting Reference.The first half of this book is devoted to the code writing beginner.
The concepts of variables, methods, Dot Syntax, and decision processing are fully explained. Since C# is an actual programming language, we take advantage of this to develop a State Machine to help control and organize each phase of a Unity project.
Once the basic programming concepts are established and we have some State Machine organization, the features and power of Unity are accessed using the Scripting Reference.If you're looking to learn C# for Unity then this is the book that offers everything you need and more - so discover what C# offers today and see your work come to life as complete games!
