Learn C# scripting in Unity

Hi! Are you just starting with Unity and want to learn how to program in C#? Are you a veteran that finally wants to do some serious scripting? Check out these tutorials!

Clock: This tutorial introduces you to Unity and creating C# scripts. You will create a simple clock that always shows the current time.
Graphs: This tutorial introduces you to more advanced C# concepts, including arrays, loops, and delegates. You will create a collection of increasingly complex graphs, from a simple line to a tiny voxel system.
Runner: This tutorial is about creating a very simple endless 2D side-scroller. It involves physics, object queues, a GUI, user input, and a simple event manager.

Questions & Answers

Why text and not video tutorials?: As these tutorials are about writing code, it seems natural to use text. Understanding the code might require a lot of jumping back and forth, pausing, looking things up, experimenting, and so forth, all at your own pace. I think text is more convenient than video for this.
Also, video tutorials seem to be proliferating and I didn't want those that prefer text to be left in the cold.
Why C# and not JavaScript?: Compared to Javascript, C# has a stricter and more verbose syntax. I think this is a feature if you really want to understand what you are doing. Going from strict to lax later is easy, the other way around not so much.
Also, C# in Unity is the real thing. With very few exceptions, it is exactly like C# would be in any other .NET or Mono project. Almost all online documentation about C# is useful and all standard libraries are available. This is not really true for Unity's JavaScript, which is actually UnityScript.
Why not Boo?: It's the least used option of the three available languages. Considering the available information for the other two, I wouldn't learn Boo as my first programming language.
Who are you?: I'm Jasper Flick, an independent game developer, web developer, freelancer, and tutorial writer, among other things. At least, that's what I like to believe. I'm Dutch, living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and am also known as Indie Kitty. I run my own little business, called Catlike Coding.
