C# is also compiled tho And Unity converts it to C++ with IL2CPP on build anyway.

Just wanna point out that both C++ and C# in fact are compiler languages. Also, I think that when you say 'normally you would use Rider' you should also point out that while it is more convenient to use than Visual Studio for most ppl, it is paid Software.

It's absolutely true that setting up the tools properly to use C++ with unreal is complicated and difficult but once it's done it's not too hard to use. Do a Udemy course to get you started with c++ in unreal.

Both c# and c++ are compiled languages What makes unreals c++ pain in the ass is its monolithic foundation and its super heavy use of reflection system which makes it a pain in the ass to compile

I wish UE had a programming language that meets it in the middle, kind of like their old UnrealScript

great content

I've been able to make any sort of code and functionality that I want with just blueprints. Stupidly complex functionality that is. It really depends on what kind of an experience you want to create ,though.

The thing that Microsoft cant create/update their own editor to work with their own language but another corp just do it for every language

Unity is way more better than UE for mobile game dev and XR applications. UE is better than Unity for PC games and Films. That's it.

Or use C++ it's actually not that hard to use C++ with unreal. But do learn blueprints too as you will still end up using both.

One is slow and cause fps drop, the other is just spaghetti.

I want to make a 2D Bullet hell game and was thinking C#..

I personnaly think unreal is harder to code more advanced features. When i code with it I feel stuck in the myriad of tools that try to tell me how I should code my game. In Unity at least I feel like I paint on an almost blank canvas with just some ink I can use instead of the already used canvas full of paint.

blueprints are great for basic functionality games like fp /fps games, but once you want to have some extra functionality you would need cpp and compare to c# its really hard+long compile time.

Python does not get compiled, there are no binary files or compiles, it gets interpreted at run time and then executed. No compilation. Besides that both C# and C++ do get compiled after being interpreted, the difference is that C# Code runs on the virtual runtime environment while C++ gets compiled to a specific hardware and/or operating system if I am not fully mistaken. So both langues do make compiles (.exe for example or .dll files) while python is left with its source code in a .py and not a binary file. Edit: I think the only reason why you would think C# does not get compiled is because you have never ever worked with C# in a none-unity application before. But that still leaves the question why the hell do you think python gets compiled. It is a script aka interpreter language.

This such a TLDR video... RTFM on how blueprints and cpp interop... you'll be living your life much easier.

I enjoyed the video regardless of how factual you where some of the people havnt sought the whole picture from your perspective of swtiching one to another, and your fundamental steps to learn how to adapt to the UE Engine "eco" system so to speak, my thoughts on unreal engine is its bloated, very bloated, lose the bloat , bam its amazing, also unreal drops a lot of unwanted preset upon you like the normal project scene, a new starter is lost like a pin in the ocean, when looking at it, a blank canvas and tutorial steps on adding the visual components up would be nice, unity straight out of the box is approachable, and for the most part understandable and logical, myself im still getting my head around DOTS/ECS.

Ever heard about shaders? That's how you can make it as pretty as you want in Unity.

Lets compile Rust or Zig instead and test

1:55 ? Unity and Unreal literally support both. If you have an actor and attach components (how unity basically bullies you into) Or a class and add methods... is literally your choosing.

For someone saying they've worked in Unity for over 5 years, and also suggesting the C# isn't a compiled language (3:40) is WILD! Kinda lost most of your credibility with that one statement. When you save your script and tab back to Unity, what do you think the engine is doing with the loading bar - it's compiling

Unreal have c++

You're just expressing your opinions about the superiority of Visual Scripting over C# (which is not true at most cases), but you should know that this is just your opinion, and please don't milk the Unity incident like others!

I hate visual scripting so c# is better.

c# just better

Your opinion seems rather uninformed and from a perspective of a beginner, e.g. Dunning Kruger - Peak of Mount Stupid. For example Unity and UE can achieve very very similar visual fidelity, you just don't know how. Same with C# / BP / C++ which is just full of errors and seems very uninformed and not knowledgeable about any of the languages.

Visual scripting? More like visual KID scripting. Real developers use REAL languages, not drag-and-drop baby games. C# is where it's at, it's industry standard, versatile, and you don't need to waste time connecting nodes like a toddler playing with blocks. Unreal is just a pretty face with no brains. And C++? Don't even get me started, that's just masochism. Stick with Unity, it's the superior engine for serious game development
