It's totally fine to use Visual Studio, but if you would like to follow with MonoDevelop, which is used in these videos you can easily switch to it. In Unity Editor.
- Press 'Edit' Tab
- Then press 'Preferences'
- Then choose 'External Tools'
- and then there is an 'External Script Editor' dropbox from there you can choose MonoDevelop.
- And same way you can go back to Visual Studio.

9,864 PointsThank you so much for this answer!
Visual Studio seems to not like my laptop at the moment and crashes a lot, even after reinstalling both it and windows :( Before checking the questions I went off and tried to install monoDevelop myself for windows, their website told me to install Xamarin studio, which told me to install Build tools... it all got a bit out of hand, then I find out unity came with it! Thankyou so much!
