Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone,
My name is Andrew Peterson. I am a 14 year old student in 8th grade. Currently, I know HTML and CSS. I know a small amount of Javascript (which I've heard can be used with Unity). I'm about to get started with the Unity engine and was wondering if anyone could give any pointers or good tutorials to use to help me start. I know that Unity supports Javascript (Unityscript), C#, and Boo. I want to start out with the engine programming in Unity. It is just me as of now, I have no friends currently who would like to program, work with Unity, etc. I'm quite new to all of this, although I do have advanced HTML and CSS knowledge. Once again, can anyone give me any advice on getting started? What are some good tutorials to start learning how to program in Javascript with Unity?

Thanks to all who can help out.

BTW, sorry if this thread is in the wrong section.

My computer specs:

Intel i7 4700MQ processor (4, hyperthreads to 8 )
Nvidia 740M graphics card with 2GB of memory
1TB of storage space
16GB of RAM
64 Bit OS
Running on Windows 8.1
HP-Envy custom built

 

hi and welcome. javascript is not quite unityscript though there are similarities. c# is generally the way people go, since it is the same as real c# that can be used outside of unity. but feel free to use whatever you're comfortable with. unity has some tutorials in the learn section that are decent, though i haven't really done any of the recent ones. or just do an internet search for tutorials. if you haven't done much programming outside of javascript, you might want to consider doing some programming tutorials first before you dive into the unity stuff though.
good luck

 

Learn both US and C#. Problem solved.

 

Welcome to the forums.

Your best starting point to learn the basics and to quickly get clued up would be an MMORPG. First I'd start a team, obviously they can't be paid but trust me they would be happy to work on the new WOW KIlla for free, even if they starve to death.

This way in about 3 weeks it'll be complete and you start earning hard cash which can be distributed to your team members, those that haven't died that is.

After that your company in week 4 will be at the top of the Fortune 100.

Simple...

 

Yeah...I'm sure that will work...

 

Thanks for the replies, guys. Do you have any good websites to learn Javascript or c#?

 

The scripting documentation is full of helpful usage examples. Best you go through the manual and documentation, and as for practicing what you learn, you could follow tutorials on unity3d.com or elsewhere, or you could begin your own project and learn as you go.

Microsoft developer network unity docs.

 

Thank you so much for all of the replies! It's so great to have a helpful, willing community here.
