Game Development

Can someone tell me if I'm doing this right?

Hi, Just a quick question of clarification. When I start up my new script on Nick's Unity video game design course, it does something different. His starts loading up mono-develop, and mine starts loading up microsoft's visual studio. Our script code is identical, but I'm wondering if it's ok that I have VS, and he has mono-develop? Thanks!

Hi Gabriel,

That should be fine but if you did want to change to using Monodevelop then you can open the Unity preferences - 'External Tools' and from there you can change the external script editor.

I've only got my Mac with me at the moment, so I can't check the exact location of that setting. In the past you had to jump through quite a few hoops to get Visual Studio to work with Unity but these days (as you've seen) it does seem to just work.

Sweet, thanks! All i had to do to get v.s. was accept it as a download with Unity, so yeah, it was easy!
