Unity utilizes two different programming languages: C# and javascript. C# looks like a more convetional programming language while javascript tends to look more like plain English. Either way, if you want to make something pretty cool in unity you have to know computer programming, at least a little bit. If you look into unity and download the software yourself it may not be obvious at first why you need to program. The software seems to do almost everything for you. Objects are created with the press of a button, physics are calculated on their own, even lighting and cameras are placed and easy to move around. However, adding the element of a programming language allows you to be more specific and detailed in your game. It’s like the difference between being able to say hello in a foreign language versus being totally fluent in that language. Sure with the former you can kind of get around, maybe not get exactly what you want but it’s enough to get by. When you’re fluent though you have a lot more ability and more options. It also feels a lot better and you’ll probably look a bit better as well.
Here’s an image of the unity program and what it typically looks like:
