Grinding your way through a level to accrue enough gold for that shiny new sword, used to standard practice in gaming. It can be time consuming, boring and you may end up with buyer’s remorse only to find yourself grinding it out for something else. With Unity’s built-in ads, you…

Using interfaces and abstract classes can be an incredible time saver and helps modularize and decouple your code. So what’s the difference and when should you use each? In simplest terms, abstract classes can be thought of as partial templates, where interfaces act as a set of rules that classes…

Interfaces are a great way to modularize or decouple your code. If you look up the definition of an interface, you will likely be greeted with some form of this text: “An interface is a contract between an object and it’s user…” So what does this mean? Essentially, an interface…

Unity has implemented so many features for 2D game creation that it’s natural to want to make one of your own. In this article, we’ll cover an easy wat to create a hitbox attack system. The first thing we need to do is to add an empty child object…

When creating logic for enemy types, it’s common for your enemies to share traits such as Health, Strength, and Attack(). Simple inheritance can be used across your enemy classes to help streamline your code…but what if you want to enforce the use of some methods while allowing them to be…

Animating tiles in Unity just got easier with Unity’s 2D Tilemap Extras preview package. You no longer need to find the github repo in order to set this up (although the repo still exists for older versions of unity here) First thing we need to do is to actually…

Setting up a scene in Unity with tilemaps can an effective way to speed up the level creation process…Unfortunately, it can also be a little awkward to get used to at first. Create a new game using the 2D template:

In order to create this type of game, we will need to implement 2D physics…something that Unity excels at. SpriteRenderer Collider2D RigidBody2D SpringJoint2D Script The best way to start this project is to create one using Unity’s 2D template:

When using animations that require motion, there are 2 ways to move the player…root animations or baked animations. Using root animations move the player for you like this:
