In this official course from Unity, you will learn to Create with Code as you program your own exciting projects from scratch in C#. As you iterate with prototypes, tackle programming challenges, complete quizzes, and develop your own personal project, you will transform from an absolute beginner to a capable Unity developer. By the end of the course - if you are completing it through a school program - you will also be ready to put your skills to the test on the Unity Certified User Programmer Exam. Most importantly, though, when you complete this course, you will have the confidence that you can Create with Code. 3D assets for this course were generously provided by our partner, Synty Studios, and are not for commercial use.

In this Junior Programmer mission, you’ll expand on your foundational learning and create basic custom interactions with Unity. As you complete four practical projects, you’ll explore a range of concepts that support basic functionality, including loops, data types, references, script communication and UI. To complete the mission, you’ll create a simple prototype application for your portfolio. By the end of this mission you will have acquired all the skills needed to take the Unity Certified User: Programmer certification exam. Key details This mission will take you approximately 25 hours to complete. Take it at your own pace — you’ll receive XP each step of the way. Remember, you’re not alone: connect with the Unity community throughout the mission and check the Learn Live calendar for follow-along practical sessions with Unity established creators. When you’ve finished the mission, you’ll get the mission badge for your profile and portfolio. Consider becoming a Unity Certified User: Programmer Already know this material?

Have fun learning to code by making your own games! Join us for Create with Code Live, a free, four-week program where you’ll gain foundational skills in Unity and C# programming to be able to create your own real-time 3D interactive games and experiences. The course will also set you up for success by teaching you the skills required to take the Unity Certified User: Programmer exam. The program is a combination of live, hour-long classes with Unity experts two times a week and self-paced learning. Class starts on May 17. Live sessions are Mondays and Thursdays at 9am PT, and will be recorded.

This first mission in the Junior Programmer pathway will provide you with the core foundation needed to create a wide range of digital experiences in Unity. You’ll learn about fundamental programming concepts such as variables, functions and basic logic through two practical projects. You’ll also modify a script to customize a simple Unity experience: the beginning of your personal portfolio. Key details This mission will take you approximately 14 hours to complete.

Learn to code with your kids the fun way in Parents and Kids Code Together, a free, live series that invites you to create a game in Unity alongside your children. Register now By the end of five sessions, you and your kids will have created a fun game and have the coding skills to: Create and apply C# scripts to GameObjects Create functions and apply to GameObjects Instantiate and Destroy GameObjects Understand variables and how to use them Use if statements to create branching logic Use Classes to organize code Explore common components to create object interactions To maximize your experience, we recommend that at least one participant have some familiarity with coding or basic Unity scene navigation. If you cannot attend one of the live sessions, or prefer to work at your own pace, everything you need to build this game can be found in tutorials 2-5. After each live session, we will post a recording of the session, as soon as they are available, in the first tutorial.

This short tutorial is a follow up to the Create with Code: Game Jam live event which ran between October 23rd and 25th in 2020. You’ll explore: Iterating and acting on the developed Game Jam entries Where to find other Game Jams to participate in How to prepare for future Game Jams This tutorial is for Create with Code: Game Jam participants and anyone looking for tips on finding and engaging in game jams.

By implementing common game programming design patterns in your Unity project, you can efficiently build and maintain a clean, organized, and readable codebase. Design patterns not only reduce refactoring and the time spent testing, but they also speed up onboarding and development processes, contributing to a solid foundation that can be used to grow your game, development team, and business. Think of design patterns not as finished solutions you can copy and paste into your code, but as extra tools that can help you build larger, scalable applications when used correctly. This tutorial explains the observer pattern and how it can help support the principle of loose coupling between objects that interact with each other.
