Overview of this book

Over the years, the Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity series has established itself as a popular choice for getting up to speed with C#, a powerful and versatile programming language that can be applied in a wide array of application areas. This book presents a clear path for learning C# programming from the ground up without complex jargon or unclear programming logic, all while building a simple game with Unity. This fifth edition has been updated to introduce modern C# features with the latest version of the Unity game engine, and a new chapter has been added on intermediate collection types. Starting with the basics of software programming and the C# language, you’ll learn the core concepts of programming in C#, including variables, classes, and object-oriented programming. Once you’ve got to grips with C# programming, you’ll enter the world of Unity game development and discover how you can create C# scripts for simple game mechanics. Throughout the book, you’ll gain hands-on experience with programming best practices to help you take your Unity and C# skills to the next level. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to leverage the C# language to build your own real-world Unity game development projects.

Basic syntax

Creating a delegate is a mix between writing a function and declaring a variable:

public delegate returnType DelegateName(int param1, string param2);

You start with an access modifier followed by the delegate keyword, which identifies it to the compiler as a delegate type. A delegate type can have a return type and name as a regular function, as well as parameters if needed. However, this syntax only declares the delegate type itself; to use it, you need to create an instance as we do with classes:

public DelegateName someDelegate;

With a delegate type variable declared, it's easy to assign a method that matches the delegate signature:

public DelegateName someDelegate = MatchingMethod;

public void MatchingMethod(int param1, string param2)
{
// ... Executing code here ...
}

Notice that you don't include the parentheses when assigning MatchingMethod to the someDelegate variable, as it's not calling the method at this point. What it's...
