This year our class worked in Unity and C# code, slowly learning the ups and downs of creating video games virtually on our own. To help us understand how Unity worked exactly we followed a tutorial called Create with Code, Create with Code is a course on the Unity website that has video tutorial teaching beginners the basics like how to make a character move left to right. The course is very accessible and easy to understand, the problem comes from the difficulties of using C# scripts. C# scripts requires the user to spell everything correctly and everything has to be perfect, one small mistake can and will break the entire script and not directly tell you what's wrong. When there's a mistake in one script, Unity will not work and show an error message and highlight the script with the error, not telling what was wrong. When using Unity I learned it is extremely frustrating when code and elements start to break down because of one little mistake, so when using Unity I have to be very careful. In my experience when one thing does not work it can be a lot more trouble then it's worth when fixing it, I spent a lot more time fixing one little problem I could have spent finishing everything else. But that's is the only big downside, when everything works Unity is a great engine to make games with, pretty easy to use and understand especially after going through the Create with Code course. Unity and C# script can be tricky to maintain but most coding and game software are tricky at times, Thanks to Create with Code I have enough know how to make my own games even if I will definitely run into problems.
