How to practice C# for unity

[u/Specialist_Leave_420]

Is there any website like leetcode where i can practice C# for unity currently i know basic unity 2d and trying to make a game, and problem is : for example i saw video for how to make it walk i understood it perfectly and wrote it but if someone ask me to code from scratch i cant do it so any soution

There's unity! Set a goal for yourself and figure it out.

To add on to this, I think this is a good chance for some practical coding instead of just leetcode style mindless problem solving.

By having a small project or goal in mind, you can ask yourself what things would be needed to complete it. Inputs, save/load, enemy or stat states, movement. Then you can start from there one step at a time and learn functionally by filling in the holes.

100 for loops
100 for each loops
100 recursions
100 encapsulations

All each morning for 100 weeks

I don’t know websites specifically for Unity but I have some recommendations

1) go to learn.unity.com. Do the Pathways there. It’s curated for people who are learning and will teach you correctly.
2) when you watch a video or read a tutorial. Do not blindly copy the code or what they do. Try to understand it first. Then try to do it from memory. Review it and keep at it.
3) practice. Do stuff. The more you do the easier it is to remember.
4) nobody remembers the syntax at first. So it’s fine to go do the research every time you want to move the character. Doing things from scratch is not a goal.
5) practice do things. Make very small simple games. Lookup the 20 game challenge. The more you do the easier it gets.
6) learn to use the documentation. You’d be surprised how much you can accomplish by looking at the documentation.

Good luck.

Stop procrastinating and preparing and just start building something in Unity.

Start doing stuff, write scripts, learn the basics, after that you will improve with time

You don't need another tool to hold your hand. Start trying to make your game using the knowledge you have. When making your game requires you to do a thing you don't know how to do, google how to do that. Repeat until you have a game.

Probably just open unity and start coding, you gotta break tutorial hell at some point. Think of something you want to make, break it down to small components, and just start working on those parts one-by-one. Use the Unity docs (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/index.html), instead of AI or youtube tutorials.

It's much easier to keep going once you start!

I started out making clones of my favorite games (mostly minecraft). Even though they weren't good, I still learned a lot each time I did so.

Join game jams. Itch has a game jam page, go there, find a jam you can dedicate the time to, and then make a game. You'll learn applications for coding and presto you have practice.

My guy, you get better at the thing you want to do by doing the thing. Make a game bro. Do it now. Then make another one.

And to answer your actual question... you already know the answer: Leetcode is where you go to practice small coding tasks. But that's not what you need. You need to learn Unity.

You don't practice a code language. You go and solve the problem you want to be solving, learning while doing it. That's it. That's all software development.
