Pro tip: leave this playing in the background to give CM more watch time, so the video gets pushed in the algorithm and more people are aware of it.

[@Vellar92]

Thank you! I've been through your free kitchen chaos course, your c# course, your turn based strategy course. Now I am going trough the DOTS course. Thanks for the content!

[@Eternal_Games1]

hey, happy for you!, can you tell me how much you improved after finish all these courses and learning from them? how long did it take ( estimation). I'd appreciate it thank you

[@Vellar92]

@@Eternal_Games1 I started using Unity in a 2D environment and have been entirely self-taught. As the sole Unity developer in a small team, I’ve learned through research, trial and error. Working on the Kitchen Chaos course was a confidence boost-it validated many of my approaches, as I had implemented features similarly. That said, it also highlighted gaps in my knowledge, which I filled by watching the lectures. Hugo's structured teaching style resonated with me, so I picked up a GameDevTV deal for his turn-based course. While I skipped a few parts, I gained valuable insights. I already had a high-level understanding of most content, but the details were a game-changer. This course helped solidify my confidence in transitioning from 2D to 3D development. For the C# course, I focused on topics I hadn’t encountered in practice yet, again I am using it to patch gaps in my knowledge. I think that everyone should start with it, and then move to Kitchen Chaos if one is a complete beginner. Currently, I’m exploring the DOTS course at a slow pace-more like continental drift! It’s a side project I’m doing for fun, but balancing it with family life and learning Spanish means progress is slow. Hopefully, in the coming months, I can create a fun little prototype with DOTS. Only time will tell! I am also learning about marketing a game, so it is a bit tricky(stealing that phrase from CM) to find time for everything.

[@jtlewis81]

@CodeMonkeyUnity I played the entire thing in the background to help you with the algorithm. I do intend to go back and re-watch the parts I need. After looking at the chapter list, I can say I'm a solid intermediate C# developer, and that is, in no small part, thanks to you. I've been learning C# in Unity for the past 3 years or so, mostly through your tutorials. I've started several projects, learning the hard way about managing scope. lol. I also completed my bachelor's degree in software development this past spring, and it is finally starting to sink in that the path to successfully completing and publishing games is to FIRST develop a plan, THEN develop the game/software. I think the plan development stage is often so overlooked in the sea of KZbin beginner's tutorials, which I why I think almost nobody gets past that. It quickly becomes easy to build non-scalable prototypes without much planning. Anyway, thanks for all the free resources you've made available over the years! Can't wait for you to find time to finish Total World Liberation!!!

Hey Code Monkey. What order do you recommend going through your free courses to learn game development in Unity? For example, should I do this entire course and then go into your free beginner/intermediate Unity course; should I learn up to the C# beginner session, then go the beginner/intermediate Unity course, and then learn the C# intermediate and advanced session; or something else? Thanks for making these free tutorials!

Hey there, first of all alot of thanks for this amazing course!! I just wanted to take a small help and guidance from you or anyone :D Basically i have finished the course of kitchenchaos and i am on the pathfinding section of the intermediate unity c# coding strategy game... I have learnt alot of C# but before advancing deeper... I would like to take this C# course, it will help me greatly, if u can suggest me the timeframe/ section to watch this video from... All the concepts teached in the kitchen chaos and strategy game are crystal clear... and i want to move on to DOTS with even more confidence!!

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

You can watch from the very beginning. For the beginner section you can just watch the videos and likely don't need to actually put into practice since you already know. Then when you reach the intermediate stage do take the time to both watch each lecture and put it into practice. If you do that then yes you will learn a lot and will have a more solid foundation upon which to learn more advanced concepts like DOTS Best of luck!

[@DigitalDreams-fe1yj]

ok time to watch it my goal is to finish it by the end of this year thanks.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Go for it!

I am at 1h30min and the quality of this course is incredible. I was expecting a simple follow-along video, but there is actually exercices, quizzes, FAQ and even an AI trained on Code Monkey's knowledge to assist you!

Started taking this course because it seems most resent. And it actually explains why did I got one line hello world not long boilerplate hello world like in java. I have been using intellij for long time so I will stick with JetBrains and see if will I be be able to do everything in linux.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yeah that new template is quite interesting, less boiler plate code which is great for beginners

[@benspeo9688]

Hi, at 5:21:36 you talk about function params. I believe I understand the use of params however you didn't finish by saying how to make the console print all the pieces of the array since you had left the console writeline to print the Length of the array. What would you need to write to actually print all the different names?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

It's an array like any other, so do a foreach or a for and cycle through the elements. There's nothing special about it, it's a normal array
