What programming language does the "How to make a video game" use?

I was wondering what programming language Nick Pettit uses as he makes a video game in Unity.

Does it use C#?

yep not a problem also if i renumber right you can also use java script i think on unity's engine as well along with c++

alex gwartney The languages you can script in in Unity are C#, Javascript and Boo. You can't use C++ but that's what you use to script in Unreal (maybe that's what you were thinking of).

Yea that's what it was i couldn't rember i have messed with both but thanks for letting me know

And everyone forgets Boo, lol. In all my time working in Unity development and even among Unity employees and other devs I don't know anyone that uses Boo at all, certainly not in any serious context. (Inventor of Boo works at Unity so that's really why it was included, I always wanted to ask him if he uses it himself).
