Note: The first thing on my list for the next Unity article was the decal system, but not only the code would need some serious revamp to be presentable, what would take some time, but unfortunately I lost the disk with the latest version in the move, I have an old backup but I still[…]
This is it! I’m leaving the Google Play Store for good! I never expected to make money from it because I started publishing too late when the market was already overly saturated, but I thought publishing some free games there could at very least result in some increased exposure and by consequence more work opportunities,[…]
NOTE: This is another philosophical article to vent a little due my inability to cope with the death of a loved one. I’ve been thinking about consciousness and there are many arguments on why such a thing exists to begin with.

It only includes leaderboards (Google Play) so you can compete with[…]
Yesterday I’ve published an article on packing bits, I still don’t know if there’s a library out there that allows you to do that easily and efficiently so I’m using my own functions for that purpose. However, a popular way to pack bytes into other data types is the BitConverter class. Please note the functionality[…]
C# doesn’t provide Bit Fields like C++, and as far as I know the smallest data you can work with is a byte (8 bits). For most cases that’s fine, but sometimes you may want to micromanage every single bit of your memory, and although C# isn’t the most recommended language if you need to[…]
