Unity in Practice 0005 – Create C# Script

✅ Step-by-Step to Create the Script:

1. In Unity, right-click in the Project window → Create > C# Script.
2. Name the script: BallScript.

Double click the C# script file to open the code via Visual Studio (refer to previous article for the installation: Unity #0002 – Install Unity and Visual Studio – Wonderful Code See)

When you create a new C# script in Unity (e.g., BallScript.cs), Unity automatically generates a default template to help you get started. Here’s what the default code looks like:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BallScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }
}

🧠 Explanation:

• using statements: Import Unity-related namespaces.
• BallScript class: Inherits from MonoBehaviour, which is required for all scripts attached to GameObjects.
• Start(): Called once when the script is first run (good for initialization).
• Update(): Called once per frame (used for regular per-frame logic like input handling).

This template is intentionally minimal so you can build custom behavior step by step.
