My test system is a 5 year old Intel hex-core system with 32Gb RAM running an up-to-date copy of Ubuntu 20.04.1. The configuration that you should be able to use by following this article is basically the Unity (game) editor and the Visual Studio Code (text) editor. In fact VS Code is actually a really excellent editor and with the right extensions, makes a great IDE on its own for a number of languages including C#, Java, and JavaScript. Microsoft, however, did see fit to release the text editor part of VS for Linux. Unfortunately, VS is not available on Linux right now and may never be. This can be as simple as Notepad or Gedit (on Linux) or as complex as Visual Studio. One of the things about Unity that might be a little different from most game IDEs is that, although itвЂ™s called an вЂњeditorвЂќ, it doesnвЂ™t include an editor! OK, what I mean by that is that it doesnвЂ™t have a text editor built into it but must use whatever you supply. This allowed me to get Unity to work at least with Gedit and thus I could now develop code.

I migrated the game IвЂ™d been building for the tutorial to this version as well. It turns out I could and upgraded to version 2020.1.7f1.

The first thing I did was check in Unity Hub to see if I could upgrade the program. When I began this little project I had Unity version 2019.3.14f1 already installed from a previous exploration of the program. Since a game is basically just a bunch of objects driven by program code, this was a show stopper. It seems that Unity did not want to communicate with the text editor so there was no way to connect the objects I was creating in Unity with their representations in the C# code that I had in the editor. I had been following a YouTube tutorial by Brackeys about it but got stuck at the point in the series where he creates a C# script to drive the behavior of the game objects. The motivation for this article came from my recent interest in using the Unity game editor to make a little game.
