TL;DR: You don't need to duplicate a bunch of code to do the same things to a Image and a SpriteRenderer , or RectTransform and Transform , etc. You can use a simple pattern called the Adapter Pattern. If you've never used it before, this post explains how. The Problem: Image vs SpriteRenderer Lets say you want to make a sprite fade out , maybe its a dead monster or a collectible, but in either case you want it to gracefully depart from the screen rather than blink out of existence. Kinda like this eyeball monster from  Beastly : So that's pretty easy right, one way of doing it is with a MonoBehaviour that modifies the sprites alpha value via SpriteRenderer.color . Your class might look something like this: public class AlphaFaderSprite : MonoBehaviour { public SpriteRenderer spr; public float fade_percentage; void Update() { spr.color = new Color(spr.color.r, spr.color.g, spr.color.b, fade_percentage); } } Now, anyone who's used Unit...

I've been curious about blogger templates since I started using the site a half decade ago, but I never took the time to learn how to build them. Recently I've been making changes to this site and I've been picking up a few things about blogger templates, so I'll be sharing things on this site as I learn them. Setting Up I'll assume that you have a blog already, so the first step is to visit the dashboard of your blog and click on the "Template" tab on the left-hand side. Then, click the "Edit HTML" button to get started.

The site is currently undergoing a big redesign. For the next couple of days pages will be moving around a lot, so I apologize in advance for the inconvenience! I'm working on a custom Blogger Template, and since I haven't used the API before i'm sort of learning as I go. It doesn't seem to be too difficult, but its still slowing things down a little bit. Full launch Soon[tm]

This time its a 7 Day Jam running from: 20th June @ 00:00 GMT [19th June @ 17:00 PST] UNTIL 26th June @ 23:59 GMT [25th June @ 16:59 PST] This TAG is has a special bonus rule that we're announcing early: Bonus Rule: "Show Me Your Moves!"

During the Jam, spend those 7 days creating a special #TAGJam22 build of your project that incorporates the themes.

If your game is an RPG, you could add a short quest, skill, monster or item which incorporates the TAG themes. If your game is a Racer, y...
