I’m a 16 year old game developer switching from Unity3d to Defold, I have experience working with Unity3d and C# language, However I’m absolute new to Defold and Lua language, So I would like a advice for Defold and Lua language for beginner or tutorials and course.
Hello and welcome to the forum and Defold! Here’s my recommendation:
As a starting point I recommend that you check some of the code examples just to get a feeling for the language and Defold. Most examples are very small and consist only of a couple of handful lines of code. Some things will be familiar to you if you’re used to C# and other parts will be somewhat different.
Next up would probably be to read a bit more about Lua as a language. We have a separate section about Lua in Defold. If you want to do a deep dive into Lua the next step would be to check out Programming in Lua, the online and print version of the definitive book on Lua, written by Lua’s chief architect, Roberto Ierusalimschy.
Finally I think you should take a look at some of our tutorials and read the manual pages to get an understanding of the main concepts of Defold, where some things might be familiar to you if coming from Unity (game objects and components) while other things might be more foreign (message passing).
And if you have any questions then please ask here or on Slack! Good luck!

Welcome!
Any examples of past games?
I taught myself Lua in about 6 months (more or less) which made me feel like a kind of supergenius and made this
I see Britzl has just added some useful resources, check them out!

Thx q for ur advice 
That is the game I’ve been created, it a very basic game, just tap on the left or right screen to dodge the saw and box.
But I hope I could make a good game like Candy Crush <3 with Defold

Did you create that game in Unity or have you already managed to create your first game using Defold?

That game was created using Unity.

Ok, cool. I think you should try to make the same game in Defold as a comparison.
