❔ Is my Unity + VS setup correctly? (NEWBIE HELP:C)
I am NEW and I mean NEW to the coding world as well as computers and I was interested in making a game. I am following this youtuber (https://youtu.be/lgUIx75fJ_E?si=3N03J-lBHENmRwW1&t=712) but I am running into 2 problems.
My code doesnt have auto-complete which he then says I need to "check the official documentation" which I have no idea what that means!
Also, my VS doesnt show I have errors like the youtubers does when he has an error (the red highlights).
Are there any additional things I need to install? (I attached the random things I installed in VS...)
Any help or guidance will be GREATLY appreciated! ❤️

so rn for me i am learning how to make games in unity and learn programing and a website etc.. ok so i will give you a link to what my teacher said what i need to have (idk maybe this will be in another languesh so try to translate or something: https://csharp.progdocs.se/, and if you want to see even the recorning on when this is made etc.. here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1nsHcXyU_TyDm2T9Iav6X-mtrtqBp0OVM (this is in swedish and this was live when we were following so i recomend watching the "TIA_1 01 Ladda ner och öppna projekt från github" basiclly stand for what you need to download to get started)

i sent a request for the documentation
you can't access the videos?
no, perhaps because Im in Korea..
Question: In the tutortial the youtuber's strings are green, and when I try to run the code and open it up on Unity it says
"TextMeshProUGUI' does not contain a definition for 'Text' and no accessible extension method 'Text' accepting a first argument of type 'TextMeshProUGUI' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
why is that?...
do you have .vscode and everything in the setup so it can run?
(ctrl + s to save and run it)
The image on the right is the code from VS Code, unless theres a different one?
if you look at the youtube you can see he have a lof of difrent files and i'm woundering if you hvae akk the things he has
like this one
it has .vscode in the file
you can take the .vscode there and place it inside your vurses code file your doing everything in
nvm use this one
if im gonna be honest, I have zero idea what I am doing or even what youre saying, unfortunatly I dont think im going to download anything for now..
Do you think there is a better youtube video out there I should follow?
Don't learn C# by using Unity.
Learn C# by doing console applications, like you should for most applications.
Unity is vastly different from what they call "normal" C#
noted! thank you! I will do more research in the meantime! ❤️
I would also recommend you to install Visual Studio Community 2022
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/
Scroll down a little till you see the download
VSCode requires you to handle mostly everything manually.
It's a buggy mess in my opinion for C#.
VS (Visual Studio Community 2022) is bigger, but significantly better.
VSCode is also not something I would recommend to a beginner - let alone an intermediate
VSCode is pretty nice for web development though
But for applications it would be better to use visual studio community indeed
Also learn about nuget packages to make your life alot easier
But that should be after you learn how to setup console applications etcetera
