Custom data structures in Unity
Moving from Dictionaries and HashSets, we now explore custom data structures in Unity, essential for developers seeking advanced game design solutions. These structures provide tailored approaches for specific game needs, enhancing performance and usability. This section spans designing unique structures for complex scenarios, such as level layouts or AI logic, to their implementation and integration in Unity using C#, ScriptableObject, and more. We’ll address serialization, memory management, and advanced concepts such as generics and design patterns for efficient custom structures. Through practical examples and emphasizing best practices, we aim to guide you in crafting and refining custom data structures, culminating with a tutorial on creating a custom inventory system.
Custom data structures are essential in game development, enabling tailored solutions that standard types can’t provide. They’re particularly valuable when...
