Creating a Farming RPG (like Harvest Moon) in Unity
Ever wanted to create a game like Harvest Moon in Unity? Check out Part 25 of our guide here, where we set up the Interact UI and Calendar. You can also find Part 24 of our guide here, where we went through how to set up NPC Movement.
Newer versions of OneDrive automatically syncs the Desktop of your computer, along with other essential folders like your Documents and Pictures folders; and there seems to be no longer an option for you to opt out of this, or turn this off. While this may be great for the average user, if you are using your Windows to do Unity development work, it can lead to errors that are difficult to trace.
Hence, if you’re looking to unlink your Deskop and other essential folders from your OneDrive account, look no further than this article.

Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity
On 28 September, Terence ran the second coding stream on our YouTube channel. During the stream, he implemented a pop-up text that appears whenever an enemy receives damage, as shown below.
This article summarises the implementation of this feature by highlighting the changes to the existing codebase.

Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity
4 October 2023: This article has been updated with new details.
Yesterday, Terence took over this project from Xavier and ran the first ever coding stream on our YouTube channel. The stream itself had quite a lot of technical issues and hence, a lot of room for improvement, but he managed to implement a couple of features that we wanted to document here.
Whether you are an aspiring developer, a game designer, or just someone who just so happens to need this function, getting iOS devices to be able to be compatible with imports for your code or applications can be challenging at times.
However, as of iOS 16 and above, you can now enable the new Developer Mode to help smoothen out the process of whatever special need you have.

Creating a Metroidvania (like Hollow Knight) in Unity
21 April 2024: This article has been updated to correct some errors and missing information.
Here’s the list of changes and bugfixes for Part 3 of the Metroidvania Series.
Welcome to part 3 of our Metroidvania tutorial series, where we’ll be taking you on a journey through the development process of creating your own Metroidvania game, just like the widely popular Hollow Knight, in Unity!

When working with projects, it is common practice to use source control repositories to house our code, so that we can synchronize project files across multiple team members, and perform version control. Game development projects are no different.
If you have been using Unity for some time now, you may remember Unity Collaborate — a source control repository service built into the Unity Editor. In November of 2021, they replaced the Unity Collaborate service with Plastic SCM, and Unity users across the world went through a collective struggle trying to re-learn (or learn, if you are a first-time user — Plastic SCM is harder to use than Unity Collaborate) how to use the new service.
If you are one of these people, then this guide is for you.

If you are running XAMPP on macOS, you may run into a variety of problems that may prevent you from starting the program. One of these problems is an error that says “cannot calculate MAC address” when you try to start the program.
If your error message says something else, you may want to check out the other articles on XAMPP for macOS:

When working on a website, it is not uncommon for developers to locally host websites on their own computers first, as it is often a good idea to run and test your website before you publish it online, so that you avoid having your live website run into errors and bugs.
If you are a Windows user, one of the several local web hosting softwares you have available to you is WampServer, which normally runs on the localhost URL when it is started up.
Fun fact: Wamp stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP. It is a play on the term LAMP (where L stands for Linux, and the rest of the letters mean the same as those in Wamp), as almost all web servers in the early days of the web ran on such a set-up. Today, LAMP stacks are still widely used to host many websites.
While running on localhost gives us the benefit of using root-relative URL paths, it still has a distinct drawback — it is a hassle to run multiple websites off the localhost URL, as it will still cause the aforementioned root-relative URL paths to break.
Fortunately for us, it is possible to set up what I call “local domains” on WampServer, so that you can use URLs outside of localhost to access your websites on WampServer.
What are enums anyway, and what are they used for? Well, just think of it as yet another tool in your handy Java toolbox of things you can consider using to improve your efficiency and organisation of your program.
In this article, we are going to explore what enums are, and how they can be used in Java, by considering a piece of Java code that uses enums to recreate the type effectiveness system found in Pokémon.
