Summary
Our journey into classes, structs, and OOP marks the end of the first section on the fundamentals of C#. You’ve learned how to declare your classes and structs, which is the scaffolding for every application or game you’ll ever make. You’ve also identified the differences in how these two objects are passed and accessed and how they relate to OOP. Finally, you got hands-on with the tenets of OOP—creating classes using inheritance, composition, and polymorphism.
Identifying related data and actions, creating blueprints to give them shape, and using instances to build interactions are strong foundations for approaching any program or game. Add the ability to access components to the mix, and you’ve got the makings of a Unity developer.
The next chapter will segue into the basics of game development and scripting object behavior directly in Unity. We’ll start by fleshing out the requirements of a simple open-world adventure game...
