Humble Book Bundle: Code Your Own Games

• duffn 10y ago
  A bit of a hodge-podge of books, but I always have a hard time turning down a good book deal.

  Looks like a good varied bundle with lots of options for game development. Just a note on the Unity book - it deals with 'UnityScript' and calls it 'Unity's Javascript', but just to call out that it's very much a language specific to Unity, and for that reason most people use C# with Unity because it's the standard C# implementation so can be used outside of Unity too.

    Having never used UnityScript (C# is fantastic) but having seen snippets - isn't it mostly syntactically equivalent to Typescript? I imagine there might be some appeal to that, especially if your server is running NodeJS.

  Saw some interesting books on there (especially Swift game dev, which I'm starting to get back into), went ahead and got a copy. Thanks for posting it.
