Static vs Instances | Unity C# Basics Part 4 #Shorts
Published: 28 Apr 2022
Full Tutorial: https://youtu.be/JRRlAzBh-6U
Learn about what "instance"s are, what's the difference between those and "static", and a common design pattern that uses both of these! If you've been following along in the series, you've already used both instances and static properties, maybe without knowing it! Today you will learn about what each one is and when you should use static or an instance. We'll also review the limitations of each type to deepen your understanding!
If you've been using Unity for a while, or are just getting started with Unity and decided it's time for you to start learning how to write code - this is the video series you need to start your programming journey!
Unusually, this video does NOT have a project associated with it. For reference, you can view the project from the last video on GitHub: https://github.com/llamacademy/unity-csharp-basics-3
