How to Create a Ubuntu Bootable USB in macOS

A detailed tutorial for creating Ubuntu bootable USBs in macOS using Etcher.

Black Box Testing Types and Techniques

Black box testing is a software testing method in which the internal implementation of a function is hidden to the testers. This means the tester does not know how the application code works.

Writing Automation Scripts for Efficiency

Writing scripts or creating templates or creating modules will often reduce the mundane nature of workflow caused by the repetitive processes. It makes work more efficient.

Using Asset Bundles in Unity

AssetBundles are a way of using online servers to host your asset files instead of packing them in the base app. It reduces file sizes for applications and makes it easier to change assets on the fly.

Path Finding AI using Genetic Algorithm in Unity - Tutorial Part 2

In Part 1, we created a Neural Network model. That model is filled with random values and needs to be trained before it can behave correctly. In this part, we will implement the genetic algorithm to train it.

Path Finding AI using Genetic Algorithm in Unity - Tutorial Part 1

We will build an AI agent using a Neural network model and train it using a Genetic algorithm. Some understanding of Neural networks and Genetic algorithms will make it easier to follow but is not necessary as we will be discussing them here.

Creating Character Control Gravity: Unity Demo

Super Mario Galaxy has a somewhat unique character control system where players can move in all directions. It means that characters can move on the wall seamlessly from the floor and vice versa. We will be learning how can we achieve such features in our game using the Unity game engine.

Game UI workflow with custom Unity Extensions

Editor extensions are something that we can program that acts as a part of the Unity engine. This feature is useful to develop productivity tools or any large-scaled editor extensions that will boost the development of your game.

Reflection in C# with Code Examples

The use of reflection can be seen in IDE where we can inspect code to find its properties, methods, etc. Reflection can also be used for late binding, i.e we can dynamically create the instance of the object and call its method.

Getting Real World Position From a Minimap in Unity

In Valorant, a few abilities have real-world position impact from a point selection on a Minimap. I have found a way to replicate this system in Unity.

Making a Galaxy from Particle System in Unity

One of the many effects you can make by using a particle system is a galaxy that keeps spinning along with some stars and clusters of stars, which is what I am going to show you in this blog while explaining the usage of parameters and their description.

Conway's Game of Life in Unity

Game of life also known as Conway's game of life is a model that simulates the creation, existence, and destruction of life. This model is based on the fact that life cannot exist when there is an under or overpopulation and under the right conditions there is a chance of reproducing real life.

C# Extension Methods in Unity

we will be creating some extension methods of some classes and we will also be looking at some useful uses of extension methods in Unity.

Dynamic Foot Placement in Unity Inverse Kinematic

IK has been used by our hand naturally, eg. when we want to grab a cup of coffee laying on the table that is close to us, we naturally bend our arm just right so that we can accurately reach the cup. IK has been in use in robotics for a long time now.

Mobile FPS Game Controls Customization in Unity

In this article, we will be creating a similar system to PUBG controls customization in Unity where users will be able to replace, resize and change the opacity of the buttons and then save it for later sessions.

Create and set up a simple Ragdoll physics in Unity

Do you want your character to have dynamic movement when falling down? Well, ragdoll physics does that very easily. Setting up rag dolls in unity is pretty simple and I will show you how you can enable and disable them at run time.

Creating sticks and ropes in Unity

Rope or rope like objects can be found in many places in game. Cable lines between poles, vines hanging from trees or spiders swinging by web othey all have similar kind of behavior. We are going to create that and see how it can be used in game.

Fluffy Sprite creation with Line Renderer in Unity

Today we will be creating a fluffy sprite that interacts with other bodies to deform itself. There are many ways to recreate this but we will be using a very simple approach towards it using line renderers and hinge joints.

Flock Simulation using Boids in Unity

Boid simulation is the simulation of the behaviour of creatures while moving in groups. this movement pattern can be found in the school of fish, the flock of birds. Multiple creatures seem to move in harmony and look like all of them are being controlled by a single creature.
