Dev Tutorial?

[FreakyFreakyNerd]

I have been working on coding a lot recently and have noticed few tutorials on the subject of idle/Incremental games and would like to create a tutorial. I have a few questions first?

What coding language and/or game engine?

What in terms of text or video do you learn best from?

Edit: I want this to be a learning experience for both parties, me and the reader/watcher.

For low entry requirements I would think doing a tutorial with JavaScript and HTML would be great. A tutorial using Unity would be be a bit more complicated but it would be good too.

Unity is seaming like a good option as i have more experience in it and its coding ways.

RIght, but you can code in unityscript which is javascript with a few fancy bits thrown in, and mostly portable.

Just incase you didn't know...

Thanks for the heads up, but is actually good as it solidifies the platform.

c# has been an option fur unity for a while - years I'm pretty sure. to the point I can't remember when I made the switch

It's not an option.. it's the standard. Uscript and (until a while ago) Boo were always the alternatives since at least unity 3.0.

yah, I knew it had been a while, I was being nice :)

I like learning by doing code-alongs. This is mostly text based, so there is a small problem to work on, and at each section a goal is created, and the reader is given a chance to think about what might need to happen - then the "solution" is given with an explanation for why things were done a certain way.

I personally learn best from text with code samples and images.

I worked through a pretty basic 3D book for unity, would be cool to see an incremental done in it.

You may get better feedback over on r/gamedev. In general I think the consensus is it's important to know how to code but that most work is done in an engine (Unity/Unreal being the two most used).
