This is a version of the Unity Space Shooter beginner tutorial with slight modifications for Unity 5 (primarily, using UI text rather than GUI text).

Scripts are written in the F# programming language. This provides some examples of how to expose fields in subclasses of MonoBehaviour so that Unity can inject dependencies (and so that they show up in the Unity inspector). The GameController script also includes an example of how to create a coroutine in F#.

Some other things I learned along the way:

To make things work with .NET 3.5, you can't use F# 3.1. The easiest way to get off the ground is to remove FSharp.Core from your project references and then add the NuGet package FSharp.Core for F# 3.0, which contains an FSharp.Core that will work with .NET 3.5.

For Mac users, here are the locations of the Unity libraries to add to your project references:

/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Frameworks/Mono/lib/mono/unity/mscorlib.dll /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Frameworks/Managed/UnityEngine.dll /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/UnityExtensions/Unity/GUISystem/UnityEngineUI.dll
