Overview of this book

It's the ability to write custom C# scripts for behaviors and game mechanics that really takes Unity the extra mile. That's where this book can help you as a new programmer! Harrison Ferrone, in this seventh edition of the bestselling series will take you through the building blocks of programming and the C# language from scratch while building a fun and playable game prototype in Unity. This book will teach you the fundamentals of OOPs, basic concepts of C#, and Unity engine with lots of code samples, exercises and tips to go beyond the book with your work. You will write C# scripts for simple game mechanics, perform procedural programming, and add complexity to your games by introducing intelligent enemies and damage-dealing projectiles. You will explore the fundamentals of Unity game development, including game design, lighting basics, player movement, camera controls, collisions, and more with every passing chapter. Note: The screenshots in the book display the Unity editor in full-screen mode for a comprehensive view. Users can easily reference color versions of images by downloading them from the GitHub repository or the graphics bundle linked in the book.

Summary

As we bring the chapter to a close, we should reflect on how much we've accomplished and what we can build with that new knowledge. We know how to use simple if-else checks and more complex switch statements, allowing decision making in code. We can create variables that hold collections of values with arrays and lists or key-value pairs with dictionaries. This allows complex and grouped data to be stored efficiently. We can even choose the right looping statement for each collection type, while carefully avoiding infinite-loop crashes.

If you're feeling overloaded, that's perfectly OK—logical, sequential thinking is all part of exercising your programming brain.

The next chapter will complete the basics of C# programming with a look at classes, structs, and object-oriented programming (OOP). We'll be putting everything we've learned so far into these topics, preparing for our first real dive into understanding and controlling objects in the Unity...
