What you'll learn
What good would a game character be without some seriously stellar statistics you can level up? In this course, Swords and Shovels: Character Stat System, you'll experience the process of creating a character stat system for your games. First, you'll explore interfaces and how they can be used as code contracts for item creation. Next, you'll learn how to create private set fields to keep all data changes confined to the stat system. Finally, you'll discover the connection to other systems such as Item Pick Ups, Inventory, Game Managers, and more. By the end of this Unity course, you will have learned how to create a functional character statistics system that will easily integrate with other vital systems. Software required: Unity.
