Introduction to C# Programming and Unity free videos and free material uploaded by University of Colorado System Staff .
Starting to Program
In this module, you'll learn about the course and get Unity installed and configured. You'll write your first C# console application and your first C# script in Unity
Data Types, Variables, and Constants
In this module, you'll learn how information is stored in the computer using binary and you'll learn how data types tell us how to interpret the bits and memory and what operations we can perform on those bits You'll also learn about the most commonly-used numeric types in C#, you'll get some practice reading documentation (which programmers do all the time!), and you'll learn how to use the debugger to find and fix bugs in your code
Classes and Objects
In this module, you'll learn the foundational concepts in the Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm This paradigm is incredibly useful in game development, because it models our software system as a set of software objects that interact with each other Those concepts map nicely to games, which typically include lots of game entities that interact with each other You'll learn how to actually use classes and objects in your code as well
Unity 2D Basics
In this module, you'll learn some of the basic ideas behind using Unity to develop 2D games. You'll also learn how we can make decisions in our code
This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment
This course doesn't assume you have any previous programming experience Don't worry if you've never written code before; we'll start at the very beginning and work our way up to building small games by the end of the course Throughout the course you'll learn core programming concepts that apply to lots of programming languages, including C#, and you'll also learn how to apply those concepts when you develop games
Computer programming is really fun in general, and programming games is even better!Caution: Beginning (assuming no prior programming knowledge) is not the same as easy (not hard to do) Learning to program IS hard to do, especially since this course is essentially the first half of a freshman-level college course Meeting the course challenges while you master the material will be rewarding to you, but doing that will require hard work and maybe even a few expletives along the way
Module 1: Write your first C# console application and Unity script
Module 2: Learn how we store data in our programs
Module 3: Learn how we use classes and objects to implement our code
Module 4: Learn the basics of Unity 2D games and take "Final Exam"
