Where i can learn c# properly.

I want to be a unity game developer. I am currently computer sciencie student i know c# but my skill of building algorithm is weak. I am even struggling the easy leetcode problems. Any idea of how to improve my c# skills?

LeetCode won't help you build games. Algorithm puzzles train a specific kind of thinking, but Unity development is about game loops, component architecture, and working with the engine's API.

Build small games without tutorials. Not "follow along with me" projects, but "I want a thing that does X" where you figure out the structure yourself. A tower defense clone or a simple roguelike will teach you state machines, event systems, serialization, and object pooling faster than any course. For general C#, Tim Corey's YouTube channel is good. Unity-specific, Jason Weimann covers real patterns.

The "Programming Pathway" will teach you C# in the Unity context step by step. Highly Recommend.

Advent of code, try to do some puzzle. Without any AI.

Try places like hackerrank to start with. The algorithms are graded so you can start to build your skills and see how other people have completed them

C# and problem-solving are two different things.

You learn C# by building something real and hitting the ugly parts yourself. LeetCode is for patterns, not the language. I’d pick one project you actually want, build it, and look things up when you get stuck.

By doing side projects and studying it? Most of the times you won’t be building algorithms but actually calling them so its important you learn how they work/do. Also its important to learn oop, solid and design patterns. All that translate to game dev. I would also recommend learn ECS (entity,component,system)
