    Well i already know to work in UDK but there is no option to make simply game to play in browser (so connect with facebook etc.) so game development is not something strange to me.
    Now question...
    When ever i check some tutorial for Unity i can see that there is a lot of scripting, sometime more than half of tutorial is scripting actually, so I`m wondering is it any chance that we can avoid this typing just to get to open some door or to move some ball around by using keys on keyboard. Btw i dont like typing, im more visual artist who dont want to bother with all this text where if you by mistake type "b" instead of "B" you messed whole game. I dont really have time for this.

    So is it any solution to miniminiminimalize using typing in Unity?

    You know maybe some "visual scripting" or something like that?

    Thank you for your time :)

    Yes, there are several visual scripting options available in the asset store for a variety of prices.

    Unity's languages are case sensitive. So if you use the wrong case with a variable or function name, it'll throw an error message telling you about it. In the case of data stored within strings, these shouldn't break your game but even if they could a visual scripting language won't actually help you here either.

    Playmaker is commonly used for visual scripting. Check it out on the asset store.

    Never used it myself, I prefer a bit more direct control over my scripts.

    Most IDEs have autocomplete so mistyping something will very rarely be a bug, and if it is the console will show you what line. I'm a 3d artist and I find 3d to be way more tedious than scripting. For instance, when I'm UV unwrapping I can turn off my brain. While coding one is always engaged. As is said in the following video at 3:15, don't be afraid of coding.
