Pareil j'y suis allé par étape. Me reste plus que google calendar et google maps à dégager, mais c'est pas les plus simples 😬

+1 Pour Neoproxima. @pierrickb.bsky.social, bien que français, s'est plongé dans les méandre de la littérature anglaise pour écrire en anglais en premier lieu. Je crois qu'il n'en est pas ressortit en 1 seul morceau d'ailleurs 😁(mais pas sûr que ça soit lié uniquement à l'anglais).

Serializing/loading/saving/networking previews on top of isolating the preview system complexity. Also in that context the state of the preview can be as simple as a list of serialized commands.

Even without a state listening approach I'd suggest considering previews as diffs and to be part of a main state for that complexity reason. In a data oriented approach, everything is data!

You'd use a dedicated "CalculatePreviewCommand" to write that preview diffs state rather that implementing dedicated logic to dispatch the previews.
It put complexity where it belongs (a preview command) and keeps the controller simple.

In the state listening approach you'd see previews as "diffs" from state A to state B. The diffs list itself would be dedicated part of the state… that you can listen to (without complex subscription handling: just 1 state reference).

A variant I use is to have the UI/VFX listen to the state instead of the commands. It makes it possible to load any state and have the game display the right informations without having to maintain an initialisation script or have a command replay logic.

Super fier de ce qu'on a mis en place pour la UI de @neoproxima.bsky.social

Venant du web, la gestion de la réactivité des interfaces de jeux m'a toujours semblé un peu archaïque... alors quand @lythom.bsky.social a proposé de faire un micro React, j'étais aux anges.

Pour en savoir plus 👇

Nesting ContentSizeFitters + LayoutGroups can quickly become performance intensive. If you ever find yourself struggling with perf (I did for mobile targets): a dedicated specific script to dynamically resize and layout your content is often easy to write and only leverage the complexity you need.

Unity UI Debugging Tool - Click Occlusion Debugger Sharing a tool I made to quickly debug what's under the pointer

Animations Done Right with Reactive UI (Unity 6 example) Reactive UI on observable state in video games is reliable and efficient, yet animations become a challenge. Let's see how to tackle that.

📝 How do you handle smooth UI transitions when your game state changes instantly?
In this article I demonstrate a clean architecture for complex UI animations sequences in state-driven games.

Tired of selecting tiny child objects on click in Scene View when you want the parent?

You can use the [SelectionBase] attribute on the parent MonoBehaviour to ensure clicking any child selects the parent first!
