side view

void river
#

what the problem is?

stable maple
#

Do you know C#?

stable maple
frail plume
#

Unfotunately, this is quite literally the first time i ever programmed on my own with some help of youtube, but I couldnt reach further anymore 🫠

#

I barely know coding language

#

want me to tell what i have till now in my game?

stable maple
#

Learn the basics of C# from w3schools. https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php like, variables, functions, and loops.

W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. Covering popular subjects like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, and many, many more.

#

and arrays/lists.

#

Are you using Unity 6? If so, you'll want to learn the new Input System, unless you're deciding to use the old Input System.

frail plume
#

Yea I'm using Unity 6

stable maple
#

The old input system is easier and could perhaps get you by for your assignment.

frail plume
#

How can I switch to the old input system?

void river
#

u can always use both

stable maple
#

Use this to learn some Unity and make your first game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cCGBMmMOFw&list=PLFt_AvWsXl0fnA91TcmkRyhhixX9CO3Lw It's an older series, but he explains it well. Watch the first 17 videos. They're only a few minutes long. He makes it in such a way that I still do, where you don't have to worry switching scenes and stuff.

Introduction to Game Development with Unity and C#

Welcome to this introduction to game development. We'll be starting from the beginning, so no prior knowledge of programming or the Unity game engine is required.

Unity can be downloaded here: http://unity3d.com/get-unity

thats the best playlist for crashcourse ^

#

good choice arkore

stable maple
#

Thanks SpawnCamp

frail plume
#

Alright, I'll check them out. Thanks!!

#

Hope I'll get an idea of how I can fix my problem 😭

stable maple
void river
#

the old is ur classing "polling" using the input class

if(Input.GetKeyDown() etc

frail plume
#

Would it affect the scripts that I've already made though?

void river
#

the new uses the Action Maps.. and event style

void river
#

b/c both types of input will be valid

frail plume
#

Ooooh alright

void river
#

ya, here in this project im using both

#

b.c im trying to learn the new input system as well

frail plume
#

Okay I just checked, it was already set on both

void river
#

the other learning resources may be more extensive.. but it also just confuses and discourages beginners imo

stable maple
# frail plume Would it affect the scripts that I've already made though?

Your introduction implies you have no scripts and no coding experience. You said you're an absolute beginner. So, I wouldn't want to see the code you have now, because it sounds like it's copied and not understood. I'd rather make sure you've gone through the tutorials I'm familiar with before seeing any code you've written.

void river
#

first thing..

  • make a script that Debugs.. "Hello World"
#

put it on a gameobject and hit Play..
you'll see the message in the Console window of ur editor

#

👍 then after that go crazy lol

stable maple
#

Start a new project, and follow that series and you'll finish by making a game called "Falling Blocks"

frail plume
stable maple
#

each video is only a few minutes long

frail plume
#

Until i got stuck with the next step that I wanted to do, that's when I came here to ask for help

stable maple
#

you'll learn about the UI and updating text on it.

frail plume
#

I'll give it a try

void river
#

Debugs! 💪

#

you'll be wanting to use them everywhere when ur learning

#

debug messages, debug values, debug all that stuff

#

helps get ur head around what ur actually doing in code..

#

also !ide make sure ur IDE is configured correctly.. so u get help from ur IDE

ancient locustBOT
stable maple
#

Yeah, what IDE are you using? Visual Studio, or Visual Code

void river
#

im using VSCode.. but in honesty its better for beginners to use VSStudio

#

and it can be installed via the Unity Hub.. when u install the editor

frail plume
void river
#

(that should configure it automatically)

stable maple
#

Kalo, check your packages in Unity, do you have the Visual Studio Editor package?

void river
stable maple
#

😄

void river
#

u can probably test real quick b4 even worrying about it..
create and open a script

frail plume
void river
#

if u see

image.png
#

at the top its fine..

#

if that says Misc-Files or some nonsense its not

#

just wanted to give u heads up.. if u come for help and someone notices its not configured they'll not help

#

and they're pretty good at sniffing that out 🤣

stable maple
# frail plume I just checked, I got it

Watch that video of how to link visual studio with unity first, just in case--you might already be setup correctly. Then start a new project and follow that series. I'll give you 1 hour. I'm timing you now. Show me Falling Blocks in 1 hour.

void river
#

lmao...

stable maple
#

😉

void river
#

ill do it if you'll pay me

frail plume
void river
#

good 👍

#

ur already ahead of most other beginners

frail plume
stable maple
frail plume
#

I need a break since I've been sitting working on my game for the past 3 hours 😭

stable maple
#

Okay, go outside for 20min walk.

void river
#

for ur first bit of coding.. ur gonna probably run into instances where u missread or leave out symbols and letters.. (captilization also is really important in c#)

#

soo having an ide will help u out tremendously

frail plume
#

Okay I'm just gonna take a break now

void river
#

good luck 💪

frail plume
#

@stable maple Is it okay if i like.. start watching those videos in like a few hours? 😭 Lowkey too tired to start another project now

frail plume
stable maple
#

Yes, if you promise.

frail plume
#

I promise i'll do it

void river
#

keep us updated.. i dont mind helping out as long as the person im helping is making efforts

stable maple
#

@frail plume Status?

void river
stable maple
#

lol. C'mon @frail plume

void river
#

im just joking.. could be time-zone differences

#

🤞

frail plume
#

someone at work got sick so i had to take over their shift

void river
#

oof, that sucks
