Archery combat mechanic in 2D pixel-perfect Unity game - It is often the case that our protagonist is equipped with some sort of weapon on his ventures in 2D platformers. Let’s remember that hordes of evil adversaries lurk in the darkness just waiting to impose damage to our character, preventing him from saving the platformer realm. It is up to the players to fulfill this difficult task. As developers we have to translate this concept into enjoyable gaming experience. The mechanic can be implemented in many different ways depending on what kind of gameplay we are going for. In this tutorial, we are going to focus on introducing archery to our platformer.

GPU Mesh Voxelizer Part 4: Mesh Translation and Rotation - In this article, we continue developing our GPU-based mesh voxelizer. Previously our model had to be placed at the origin of the scene, with no rotation. We’ll start by fixing that by cleaning up our different space conversions. After that, we’ll refactor our voxels to use a custom struct rather than a generic float4. Doing so allows us to be more descriptive with our code and makes it easier to add new data.
