I need help..

Hi.

So I decided that I wanted to start making some games on Unity for fun. I did a bit of research and I learned that Unity uses C# (please correct me if I'm wrong) and the problem is that I have no idea how C# works and I don't really know how Unity works either. I'm a total beginner and I don't know anything about making games and programming. So I came here to ask where should I start because I have no idea. Should I start learning how C# works first or learning how Unity works first ? Also, I'd like to know what's the difference between coding and programming (if there's a difference).

PS : English isn't my first language.

 

Do both. At the same time. No I'm serious. Unity has a fantastic learn section where you can learn game dev with unity and C# in parallel (at the same time). Its a great jumping off point!

 

I agree with TenK. Download Visual Studio 2019 and dive in. C# is a GREAT language and will only become more popular over the years. I am writing my game server in pure C# but obviously my game client in Unity C# scripting language (very slight learning curve). It's only onwards and upwards from here.

 

You should start with unity first and pick programming as you go.
When it comes to programming you need to learn fundamentals like "what is a variable", "what is a loop", "what is a function", "what is a class".
