If you are interested in making platformers, this is a fantastic starting point - http://u3d.as/2eYe (made by me)

Why doesn’t this guy have more subscribers?

I've only just recently began my game development journey after 20 years in a technical space concerning metrology. I find your videos to be down to Earth and easy to grasp. I love the simplicity here with centralizing the processing of collisions. Good work. Can't wait for Blood & Mead!

glad to see that zlatan is exploring his talent in game development aswell. He was pretty good playing football

The next step would be to move the collision detection to its own script and use events, that way you separate the logic from the callback making it even cleaner :)

Note: This video is designed for beginners to Unity and coding principles like D.R.Y. The knowledge might seem rudimentary to seasoned developers, but serves the purpose of giving newcomers an alternative way to think about code logic flow.

Thank you! I was having SO much trouble on how to check what collision is being detected, and I couldn't find anything to help me until I found this!

Thank you for these tutorials, you really help to make things "click"! I have on and off done programming for a long time, but not in game design and I just couldn't get my head round how to avoid repeating code for collisions, it seems obvious now! thanks again

Keep these awesome videos coming - unfortunately I haven't had anytime to work on any fun projects, but I love watching these very clear and concise tutorials.

Omg , 😲 knowledge acquired, wrote twice the code. Now i know thanks :)

this channel is so underrated

comparing tags for everything is also a bad way to go about it, especially if you have a complex game. If you truly want to 'centralise' everything then make an IDamageable interface so your code looks cleaner :)

The simple little things can clean up a lot!
Nice video!

You should start in Star Wars! Perfect look for a Jedi!

Thank you very muchhh!! This totally solve my questions!

Very interesting concept. This centralizing systems could help a lot in every situation in coding since almost every project needs a serie of collisions methods. Thanks it was a nice video!
