How does C# work in Unity?

C# (pronounced “C-sharp”) is a programming language that is commonly used in Unity, a popular game engine used to create 2D and 3D games and interactive experiences. Unity supports C# as a scripting language, allowing developers to write scripts to control the behavior and functionality of their games. In Unity, C# scripts can be used to create character controllers, enemy AI, physics simulations, and other features that make a game interactive.

C# is used in Unity for scripting game logic and behavior that can be used to create a wide range of interactive and immersive experiences in VR, and Unity provides many built-in classes and functions to help with VR development, including the following:

  • Interaction: C# can be used to create scripts that handle input from VR controllers, such as button presses and trigger pulls, and use this input to perform specific actions in the game or application, such as opening doors, picking up objects...
