Implementing Scene Switching - An Elevator Between Scenes - Part 2
· ☕ 1 min read
Continuing our elevator and asynchronous scene management system development let’s try to build a 3-scene system that will allow us to create a base scene with the global game objects (our player, scene transition elevator, camera etc) and the two “floors” we’ll be transitioning between.

Animating the Elevator - An Elevator Between Scenes - Part 1
· ☕ 2 min read
Let’s start a new project that allows us to load scenes using riding an elevator as the transition. To start with we’ll be building the animation controlling the opening and closing of the elevator doors.

What Happens When You Snap Vertices To A Grid?
· ☕ 3 min read
In this video I get to play with madness. We’ll be exploring what happens if you try to “pixelate” a 3D mesh using a vertex shader.

Rotation Math Tricks - Using Unity's Quaternion Operators
· ☕ 2 min read
Unity provides a few operators that can make some common tasks with quaternions easier to accomplish. You can multiple a quaternion and vector to rotate the vector by the provided quaternion’s rotation or multiple two quaternions together in order to add the two rotations they represent together.

Getting Started with Pathfinding using Dijkstra's Algorithm
· ☕ 1 min read
Lets explore pathfinding by implementing Dijkstra’s Algorithm. Dijkstra’s Algorithm is a pathfinding algorithm that works by calculating the distance from any node in a graph to a target node.

An Abstraction of our Character Controller
· ☕ 2 min read
Lets take a look at building an abstraction over a character controller in our 2D platforming game. The goal of this refactoring and abstraction pattern is to improve the testability and modularity of the character controller.
