Adding Bit Fields to C# - Bit fields give us the ability to use less than one byte to store an integer. This can be really useful to fit more data into a CPU cache or to reduce memory usage in general. Unfortunately, bit fields aren’t built into C#. Today we’ll work around that by creating our own!

Unity UI Profiling: How dare you break my Batches? - You spend an infinite amount of time optimizing your Unity UI. But, all it takes to really screw up performance is a sneaky modification on a tiny attribute of an almost invisible Canvas UI element.

Friday Facts #317 - New pathfinding algorithm - When a unit wants to go somewhere, it first needs to figure out how to get there. That could be as simple as going straight to its goal, but there can be obstacles – such as cliffs, trees, spawners, player entities – in the way. To do that, it will tell the pathfinder its current position and the goal position, and the pathfinder will – possibly after many ticks – reply with a path, which is simply a series of waypoints for the unit to follow in order to get to its destination.
