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.

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.

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.
