C# is a comprehensive programming language. Teaching you how to use this language is beyond the scope of this book. I'll provide enough information in this section so that you can understand the custom scripts we'll be writing for our game.
Note
For a deeper understanding of how to program using the C# language, you can use one of the many books available from Packt Publishing on the subject.
C# is both a function-based and object-oriented language. Functions are reusable sections of code that we script. For example, if we create a script called feedPig, it might handle transferring water and corn from Colt to a pig.
