Roll-a-ball tutorial isn't clicking with me

So I tried to do the roll a ball tutorial to learn something and get into unity. the tutorial was really helpful until the scripting part. everything the tutorial person was talking about with the confusing names and their terminology just made me even more confused. is there a tutorial to understand scripting better?

 

Is there specific examples? the 2d UFO Saucer (if still available) might be slightly more basic. One could just copy the code without understanding so it works then just change things line by line to assist understanding. Another way is code few lines. run, see what it does. add more code. have you coded in c# before? Majority of projects in Unity will use C# for the scripting. there some Cat Like coding by some guy that has some unity tutorials that are decent as well that can be found via Google. Would try the basic stuff, they have more advanced topics once the basics learned. https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/

 

If you don't know anything about scripiting I'd suggest you start here https://learn.unity.com/ and do the Unity Essentials + the Junior Programmer courses for scripting especially.

Best would be doing these step by step and not jumping right into something, like the roll-a-ball-tut.
