GitHub Desktop for Unity — Part 2: How to resolve merge conflicts

This article is a part of the series:
Using GitHub Desktop for Unity collaboration

In the second part of this series, we explore a very common problem that teams usually run into when collaborating on GitHub Desktop—merge conflicts. These can cause significant delay to your work, as you are forced to handle them when they occur before progressing; and it can take a fair bit of time and skill to solve them.

Resolving them incorrectly can also cause work progress to be lost.

Hence, in this article, we’ll be covering what they are, how you can avoid them, and how you can resolve them.

Creating a Rogue-like (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity — Part 23: Buff / Debuff System

This article is a part of the series:
Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity

To complete our new weapon system for this series, we will need to have a proper buff / debuff system, because there are weapons in Vampire Survivors that apply buffs and debuffs to enemies. Hence, we're going to be working on this in Part 23, so we can create cool stuff like this:

This is so cool.

Creating a Rogue-like (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity — Part 22: Curse Boosts and All Enemy Stats

Now that we have the revamped enemy system that makes the enemy spawning much more exciting, let's look at how we can improve the depth of enemy interaction in our game. In Part 4, when we first implemented stats for the enemy, we only had health, move speed and damage. In this part, we are going to add all the enemy stats you find in Vampire Survivors on our enemies, so that we are able to create enemies with more depth.

In Part 7 of our series, we created an enemy spawning system so that we had a way to generate enemies and run the core gameplay loop of our game. The enemy spawning system that we created then had a couple of limitations. For example, it was not possible to spawn the infamous Flower Wall that you saw in the Vampire Survivors game.

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to do this.

Hence, we're setting out to improve our enemy spawning system so that this sort of spawn becomes possible.

Creating a Rogue-like (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity — Part 18: Implementing a Dynamic Stats System and UI

This article is a part of the series:
Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity

In earlier parts of our series, we only implemented 6 different stats on our player. Vampire Survivors, however, has many more stats than that, so in Part 15, we created a newer way to manage stats that made it easier for us to add more stats in the future.

In this part, we are going to add these stats, and create a new, dynamic, and extremely easy-to-use UI element that will automatically update itself whenever we add new stats, so we don't have to create a new UI setup whenever a new stat is added.
