Learn how to create and use Scriptable Objects to design flexible systems, implement an event system and solve common programming problems in Unity.
Generating mazes similar to Wolfenstein 3D in Unity with a simple C# script. This allows the generation of both actual mazes as well as more general maps with small or large rooms depending on a single parameter.
The Diffusion Aggregation algorithm is a versatile and simple to implement algorithm which can be used for both generation of long winding maps with lots of corridors and subdiving or partitioning a grid into different sections. This algorithm can serve as an alternative to other algorithms, such as Drunkard or Random Walk for map generation, or Voronoi Diagrams for partitioning a grid.
Learn how to create, import and delete packages for your Unity projects. Packages facilitate development by making it easy to share code, shaders and assets between project, while also enabling you to easily update. We make the set up clear by explaining why to use packages and how to set them up, as well as providing samples from the Unity documentation and from our own packages.
Learn how to replace the default system cursor in Unity using either the Project Settings, or through the usage of a Canvas element with a custom script to get better control over cursor size and enable the usage of shaders

Sharing some great tutorials on how to handle lights and shadows in Unity to get good looking scenes
Implementing billboarding, camera position checks and forward checks to select a suitable sprite from a given tilesheet/spritesheet/spritemap. This enables us to only use quads and avoid manipulating the sprites through script, which should increase performance for scenes with plenty of background characters.
