Introduction to C# Programming and Unity

This Colorado course uses game development as a setting for learning C#. It begins with basic program structure, data types and variables before introducing classes, objects and Unity’s 2D tools. The programming emphasis distinguishes it from a course that mainly demonstrates the editor or follows a finished game recipe.

What you will learn

• Write simple C# expressions and variables.
• Explain the roles of classes and objects.
• Connect a script with a Unity 2D object.

Who this suits

Choose this if you are new to programming and want games to provide a practical reason for learning. Expect exercises rather than only watching demonstrations.

Before you enroll

The course’s examples come from an established sequence. Check the recommended Unity and development-tool versions; current editor interfaces may differ from the recordings.

Coursera lists paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for included assessments, certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. University authorship does not by itself confer admission, academic credit or a professional license.

Put it into practice

Create a small scene with one movable object and a score variable. Explain which information belongs in an object and which event changes it.
