Because I started out with JavaScript. It was closer to AS3 which I worked on before, so it made sense. I really tried to do research on which language is better, just to give me a head-start. But pretty much all discussions said that they have the same capabilities and you could use any really.  But that is a lie, C# is just plain better. Yes, JavaScript can be easier to use for people with limited experience in stricter languages. And yes, you can do the same stuffs in both. But C# is better, period. And I don't want anyone to be fooled into making the same mistake as me because of the "both can do the same stuffs" rhetoric that pops up in every discussion.

Wikipedia pretty much got the syntax covered: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_syntax

But yeah, some things in US turn into quite long lines, whereas in C# they're a lot shorter, I'll give it that. :P

Also yes, use Lists instead of Arrays.

I don't have too many tips really for using Unity, but I agree with most of the tips already given.

I will be using Unity for the compo. :)

Keep doing that, not gonna stop you, not gonna say you are doing it wrong. I just to make sure that people can make an educated choice. If you are not that into coding there is probably no benefit of C# anyway. Like, there is no point having a sports car over a small-car if you ain't gonna race with it.
