Hey guys!

My name's Hayden and I do a lot of full-stack work, as well as breaking into some Game Dev a la ROBLOX and Unity. I've been working for about a year and a half as this, with my knowledge of Node having developed some time early last year.

I'm new to DEV, but I hope to get more active. :)

Welcome to DEV Hayden! do you have any tips for ROBLOX or Unity? Those are two things I've been interested in for a bit, but haven't started with yet :)

Heya Chris!

Well, for ROBLOX, I recommend having a look through a bit of Lua code (it was kind of hard to get to grips with Rbx.Lua when I started). Also, don't even think about doing anything like client-side raycasting or anything on it if you break into... things that would use that. Do it server-side with RemoteEvents.

As for Unity, I've still not spent much time with it but C# is nice and easy to understand, and the exposed APIs from UnityEngine.* are brilliant, they make things really easy to script!

Anything else, I'd be happy to help!

(I'm now on to Kotlin, with a couple years work in JavaScript & TypeScript :) )
