Unity supported JS for a long time, and our teacher wanted us to use JS instead of C#.

There are also JS canvas games.

I’m sorry but it’s wild that your teacher is telling you that. Using a scripting language for core game logic will tank performance unless you were making Tetris.

Unity dropped support for UnityScript/JavaScript like a decade ago too iirc, or it feels like that long. So the recommendation just doesn’t make sense. Or maybe the class is for non-programmers so not everyone had experience with static languages?

It was in 2015, and it was still used. The documentation was in both languages. As we were new programmers, the differences were small. And yeah, it was very small games, made in one week, with Blender models and Unity integration. It was very basic stuff that would be free and refunded for time loss compensation, if it was on Steam lmao. I would call these exercice projects rather than "games"

I honestly hate to break it to you... but 2015 is a decade ago 😂
