What is the best language to start with in Unity?

  • Currently, I'm learning Python through a few books and codeacademy. After watching some videos by Tom Jackson (one of the makers of Surgeon Simulator 2013: http://quickfingers.net), I really want to get into Unity after I feel like I can move into something more difficult.  My main focus is making games. Currently, I'm leaning a little bit more into Javascript due to the fact that many Unity tutorials are in Javascript, codeacademy is primarily FOCUSED on Javascript (among other things) and Javascript has many applications outside of game-making. What is the best language to start with in Unity? P.S. I've hear a rumor that learning C# is harder for native-english speakers. Is this true?

  • Answer:

    C# is what you want. Unity has its user friendly version of Javascript but in the long run, you can reach a bottle neck when you want something done externally and not wanting it go thru Unity. I started off with Javascript when I was introduced to Unity, but later I had to get into C#. I already knew C/C++ so I cant say about difficulties by language. But Unity has an excellent dev community which is in English. On the final note, C# is a stronger language if you want to develop cross platforms and not just Unity.

JavaScript would be the best starting point. It's the language of choice for a lot of the major development frameworks. Only use C# if you want to focus on Windows development. JavaScript, C++, C, and Java are the popular choices for cross-platform games and applications.

I personally started with unity's JavaScript. However now I exclusively use c# If I had to do it again , I would have learnt c# first Why? Its the language I perfered , I think maybes it about trying them both and finding which you perfer :)
