Unity Tutorial: Assemblies & Project Organisation

In this tutorial we'll look at how we can organise our project to make it easier to locate and work with things as the project goes. We'll look at solutions related to file and folder organisation as well as some code techniques we can follow.

Great topic. I have shelved many projects because they were not easy to work with. I just restarted one of my game projects because I organized it very poorly. I am also forcing myself to use assembly definitions this time around to improve compiling time.

[@michaelwilson8461]

Another useful bit advice. I'm not really to the point in my project where this is necessary , but always good to look ahead when designing something that will eventually reach that point.
Everyone has their own opinions, but regarding video length, I prefer the pace that a longer video like this allows.
Trying to cram everything into 10 minutes tends to lead to over generalization and speeding through points that can benefit from a more thoughtful explanation.
Topics should take as much time to cover as they need, not condensed to meet some arbitrary time limit.

Absolutely and it's possible to apply these changes to an already setup project as well. It takes a bit of effort but not a prohibitive amount. We did that for Heave semi-recently and it's helped out a bunch.
The longer form videos will definitely continue to be the norm. I do very much understand folks wanting to be able to jump quickly to a solution/section though so I've been adding in the chapter markers in the recent ones. That feels like a good compromise that allows folks to jump quickly if they need while still making sure there's time to give a good background on areas.

@@IainTheIndie Generally there's thousands of shorter beginner videos, but next to zero intermediate/advanced topics, so I really appreciate these in depth advanced topics. There's also nothing stopping you from doing a mini 2 minute lightning overview for people are advanced.

[@Agigaherger]

Your channel is a goldmine and you're a great teacher, but your videos run a little long.

Hi sir , I have a question like How to assign a unity event to a button.Onclick.addlisner() event. Like i have a button refrence in a script and instead of assign methode call in onclick event of that button i have a unity event in the same script which have that button refrence and invoke this event by using button.onclick.add listen (). Thanks

I’m not really sure how your question relates to the video? For a fairly general question like that your best bet is going to be to either look into the Unity support pages on adding listeners or look at support sites like stack overflow.
