DOTS and Unity Learn updates


Introduction to DOTS

For those of you following the YouTube channel, there is now a series of tutorials covering DOTS.

These introduce its two main pillars, the Entity Component System (ECS) and the C# Job System.

Though these are very simple examples, they emphasize the basic syntax in order to help you understand the non-OOP workflow. Welcome to data-oriented design! These tutorials use the latest syntax from Unity 2019.3.

If you’re interested in more formalized DOTS training, please sign up for the mailing list. Updates about upcoming DOTS mini-game projects will go out here first.
