CI/CD pipeline Unity Part 3

We’ll look at the following options:
- Improving the stability of main by enforcing PRs are up to date before merging.
- Caching to speed up job runs
- Separation and Parallelisation of Jobs
- Ensuring your main branch only contains conventional commit messages
- Self-Hosted Runners and Cache Accelerators
- Only testing code changes

Compute Shaders in Unity: GPU Computing, First Compute Shader

A basic post about compute shaders and how to use it to generate a texture. Feels like the text almost completely generated by AI, but still can be used as a gentle introduction into compute shaders.

NSprites: Unity DOTS Sprite Rendering Package

This framework provides sprite rendering system compatible with Entities package (unity ECS).
Basically it sync whatever entity component you want with GPU data to perform instanced rendering. As a result all entities with same Material can be rendered with single drawcall.

How it works
SpriteRenderingSystem sync registered entity components with ComputeBuffers to send data to GPU and then renders entities with Graphics.DrawMeshInstancedProcedural. System also controls how ComputeBuffers reallocates if capacity exceeds. Sprites are simple entities with no limits of what components you use.

Randomation Vehicle Physics
This is a vehicle physics system for the Unity engine, originally developed with Unity 5.6. The most recent Unity version it has been tested with is 2019.2.9. It aims to achieve semi-realistic, general-purpose driving mechanics. This was originally sold on the asset store as Randomation Vehicle Physics 2.0.

MegacityMultiplayer: Megacity Multiplayer is an action-packed, shooter game based on the original Megacity sample. It leverages the power of Netcode for Entities for an immersive, multiplayer experience that can support 64+ players simultaneously.

Start-up times seem fun:
When going into the main scene, subscenes need to import: Up to 20 min
When going into the playmode, server world is created: Up to 30 min
