virtually everything, in both languages

[spark saddle]

but... like @stone flame suggested, let's rather discuss this here

[regal widget]

Hi

What would u choose ?

[spark saddle]

that depends on a lot of things.. if i would be new to programming, id learn both

[regal widget]

I know Java a little bit

[oblique steeple]

Start with c# as it's easier for a beginner then try C++ once you have more experience. You wouldn't spend ages deciding whether to buy a ferraria or a porsche before you can drive :P

[vapid valve]

if ur new to programming then unreal is gonna be painful

[regal widget]

lol

[spark saddle]

a LOT of programming experience in one language is adaptable to another language

[spark saddle]

unreal also has this scriptable graph shit, so you can write small games without a single line of code :p

[vapid valve]

that doesnt get you anywhere though

[regal widget]

This blue print thing

[spark saddle]

blue prints are (not the same but) similar to unity prefabs

[vapid valve]

also unreal is super hard to learn. its complicated, has few tutorials (99% of them use the blueprints which are bad and dont teach you programming and they cant do everything) and documentation is lacking as well

[regal widget]

Is it hard to switch from c# to c++

[vapid valve]

the only unreal games i know are hello neighbour and fnaf security breach. and they're both super buggy

[regal widget]

If I know c# good ?

[spark saddle]

if you want to get results fast: unity + c# is a no brainer.. if you want to make a career as a game developer, there are a bunch of things to consider

[regal widget]

Fortnite ?

[vapid valve]

its easier than jumping straight into c++

[regal widget]

Okay

[vapid valve]

yeah i forgot about fortnite

[vapid valve]

but did u see i named a lot of unity games

[regal widget]

Yea

I think I first go with c# and unity

And if the times comes I switch to c++ and unreal

[oblique steeple]

You're definitley underrating the use of unreal there John. There are many many successful unreal games lol

[vapid valve]

if ur a beginner to programming then starting with unity is 100x better than starting with unreal imo

[spark saddle]

and if you think unity is only for small mobile/sort of games, then you should know that there's a bunch of tripple A games based on unity, like cities skylines, subnautica, escape from tarkov, rust and so on

[vapid valve]

i mean compared to the list of unity games.

[regal widget]

Can I make multiplayer with c#?

[spark saddle]

ofc

[regal widget]

Okay

[oblique steeple]

If you look on wikipedia you will see there are just as many good games :)
Unity has more in general as it has a lower barrier for entry

How to start learn c#?

Yt Tutorials ?

[vapid valve]

!learn

[thorny dagger]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[oblique steeple]

https://learn.unity.com/project/roll-a-ball

[spark saddle]

btw, some more known unreal engine games would be batman arkham city, ark survival evolved, sea of thieves, street fighter 5 and indeed the probably most famous one: fortnite 😛

[vapid valve]

so mostly games made by big companies

[spark saddle]

i was only talking about triple A games, for both engines

[regal widget]

Is it to learn c# too?

[spark saddle]

have a look

[vapid valve]

!learn

[vapid valve]

check this out too

[oblique steeple]

Try it and see. if it's too much look up C# tutorials on YT

If you have done no c# at all you probably want to start with basics before trying unity though

[regal widget]

Is it free ?

[vapid valve]

@regal widget also any game that can be made with unreal can be made with unity. one isnt worse than the other.

[vapid valve]

yes

[regal widget]

Okay ty guys

Pretty nice community here I remember that community for learning paper API Java you 1000 friendlier :))

Wait

[regal widget]

What’s an good IDE for c#?

[spark saddle]

a free one, visual studio

[vapid valve]

definitely visual studio

[regal widget]

Okay

[spark saddle]

payed, jetbrains rider

[vapid valve]

!ide

[thorny dagger]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

[regal widget]

Thank you so much

[spark saddle]

rider is by FAR the best ide i've ever used

especially for beginners helpful, because rider can give you a lot of information, and let you do automatic changes and "fixes" and a lot of other great features

but, i suppose with the right vs code plugins you can get similar results

[oblique steeple]

I never got on with it personally but it's hard to get over years of using VS

[spark saddle]

i mean, both visual studio and vs code are great and all of these IDEs can be extended with tons of plugins

it comes down to personal preference and experience id say, and partly maybe use cases

in any case, rambling on here, vs code ftw 😉 good luck!
