Python in unity

Hey, is there any way to apply python in unity, I suck in C# and JavaScript but I am really good with python, so is there any way I can use python instead of C# or JavaScript in unity? If there is none, is there a way I can learn either of these two languages?

 

there is an asset you can buy: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/python-interpreter-645
But I guess you will not be able to do much with it. You can just call some methods of unity. But usually you have to derive from certain classes (mostly MonoBehaviour) to make a game in Unity. So you will probably need to learn a new language.
My advise: Go for C#. Most unity developers using it and there are a lot of sources for C# in general. JavaScript is actually not really JavaScript. It is a customization called "UnityScript". But with C# you have more power.
Google is your friend to find tutorials.

 

do you know how to code in C#? Because if you do, how did you learn and is there a specific way I can learn it?

 

yes, I know and I learned it more than ten years ago with XNA Game Studio 1.0
I prefer to make a goal for myself (like: I want to make a frogger-like game) and try to find out how I can do it by extensively searching with google.
However, other people prefer to do some tutorials or reading books before trying things alone.
It depends what kind of person you are. But in either case: search the internet for help.

 

How did you learn python?

Apply those same learning/training skills to learning C#.

 

To add to the excellent answers already posted, this is a good starting place: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/s/scripting

When I learned I read through all that. It didn't do me much good without practical c# experience though. Read it to get a basic grasp of what's going on, then start putting together small projects and when you're stumped on what to do in one of them google it and if google doesn't help ask questions here.

If you already know python well you have a solid understanding of how coding works. All coding languages work pretty much the same way on a fundamental level. Similarly to how spoken languages are all similar fundamentally yet can be vastly different in form and execution.

 

If you really want to, you can use Boo, which is similar to Python. You can't create Boo scripts directly in the editor, but you can create them in a text editor and save them in your project, and it works. (Yes, even in Unity 2018.) You'd have to find older Unity docs for info on Boo scripting, like Unity 4.x. Probably not worth learning Unity and wrestling with out of date docs at the same time, but still, it's possible.

Even if you found a ready made package where you could completely replace all C# with python without issue, you're still going to need to go through Unity tutorials, use the Unity scripting reference, and find code examples to be able to learn to do anything in Unity, and all of that is in C#. So you're still going to be stuck.

Learning C# would probably be a lot easier than blindly trying to learn Unity using a language where nothing is documented.

 

Hello!
Does any one know how to package together a Unity build with a python script. Such as opening the script from Unity as an executable.

 

You could include the python script in StreamingAssets, and you could launch the python interpreter with process.start.

 

There is a simple way with UnityRemote to connect Python Script to Unity engine. See: https://github.com/gilcoder/UnityRemote.

Hi. In 2022 It's possibile write the game logic with python with the Package Python for Unity
