Decorator design pattern for dynamic game stats - Whenever we roam a fantasy realm our characters will equip armors or weapons that enhance their statistics. At the same time, vicious monsters may inflict various status effects inhibiting our actions and movements. They may be countered with healing spells and buffs protecting our heroes. The latter can give us superpowers or even make us invincible for a while. The question is: how can we keep track of everything that is happening to our characters at runtime? How to ensure that the player status is correctly set under specific array of conditions? This can quickly get out of hand given the amount of different effects we can experience during a game. In this article we’re going to look into the decorator design pattern and see how it can help us remedy the situation.

In Praise of Top Down Programming - These days, top-down modular programming is pushed aside by object-oriented programming when it comes to teaching how to program. But there is a place for both methodologies to co-exist and top-down programming solves the ever-present problem of how to begin.

Motors in Unity Physics - Since the prerelease of ECS for Unity, motors have been supported by Unity Physics as of 1.0.0-pre.22. In Unity Physics, motors are a type of joint where one of the constraints that defines the joint exerts a drive force to move to a target. This target can be either position-based, so that the motor always attempts to move to this position, or velocity-based, so that the motor attempts to maintain a specified velocity.

USyrup - Dependency Injection - USyrup is a dependency injection framework designed for the Unity Game Engine. It's heavily inspired by Java's Guice/Dagger DI frameworks, co-opting similar such semantics from those libraries. The core problem that USyrup attempts to address is simplicity. Many dependency injection frameworks that currently exist are both incredibly feature rich and even more so complicated. USyrup's simplicity makes DI much more approachable and actually benefit a project instead of creating dependency confusion.

Time Rewinder for Unity - Rewind time in Unity with ease! While there are certain frameworks that let you rewind time in Unity, they are usually quite restrictive and hard to modify. I faced these problems myself when i needed to add time rewind mechanics in my game and none of the solutions that i have found were good enough. That is why i decided to start this open source project that i hope you find usefull. Time Rewinder uses highly efficient circular buffer implementation to store and retrieve the rewinded values.
Customizability is one of the main points of this project, so it can be used in any of your custom Unity projects and you can track and rewind anything you want!
