In this video, you'll learn how to use interfaces in Unity3D and Game Development.
#Interfaces #Unity3D #GameDevelopment
The Interface is one of many programming concepts that can be utilized in both Unity3D and Game Development, in general. It's a powerful construct in object-oriented programming that grants you incredible flexibility through something called polymorphism. In this video, Jason Storey will help my alter ego, Barles, refactor his code so that it's more scalable and easier to maintain. Check out my channel, and consider subscribing, for more coding tutorials aimed at Unity3D and game development.

Still in the first prototype, so no unfinished prototypes yet. Will come back in a few years when this hits.
Finally someone explains how Interfaces are actually USED instead of just saying 'iT enFOrcEs a cONtracCT1' Thanks guys!

As far as I could remember (and correct me if I'm wrong), the "I" in the interface is there since the C++ days. This is because they didn't have interfaces, so they used abstract classes with an "I" to denote that they are interfaces and fill in that class with virtual functions (or methods?) only, and ever since it got stuck with us I guess. I personally cannot imagine myself writing an interface without an "I" =P. Nevertheless, awesome video ;)
My brain collapsed when you said "Hey Jason" instead of "Hey Charles" after answering that call in the beginning of the vid
Holy s**t. These "skype calls" explanations with an actual problem are by far the best approach to teach others something. Please, keep doing the videos this way because I'm loving it! :D I'm not rich or something but I'll squeeze my wallet a bit to start supporting you and keep this kind of content alive.

I've been struggling to understand interfaces for a while, but this video is the only thing I've come across the really demonstrates to me personally WHY they are useful, and HOW to use them. Really appreciate your channel!!

The common struggle is "the approach". There may be multiple ways to do something thus we get stuck in "what is the most efficient one", often the answer is none and you're left with "There has to". Since most items that I would use interface for are inherently similar I end up making abstract class to inherit from, plus they can be serialized in the inspector, unlike an interface reference. Say I have a "SpawnedObject" script and it has a public reference to an "IItem" so I can assign an SO that implement the interface in the editor. It won't show up in the inspector, I can only assign it through code. If instead I have an "Item" class that "Lamp" has inherited from, I can link it in the inspector. Interface is mostly advantageous, IMHO, if both classes are significantly different and need a few common denominators for a method to work seemlessly between them OR to decouple your interaction system from the interactable system and you might want one or the other in a different game. Don't forget to bring the interface with it.
Now we just have to tell Unity to finally implement serialization of interface type for the inspector ^^

Thats why i googled interfaces in unity. I know what interface are and how they are used haha. Stupid inspector
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I know an interface is a contract but seeing the use case help me visualize how to use it. Now I will spend the next 5 hours slamming keys and cussing my old spaghetti code as I rewrite my scripts
"Let me just share my screen", a sentence that was used alot during the start of the pandemic
Wow, I found you through the stream you did, and honestly this is what I was looking for! Very easy to understand and explains the use of interfaces in a unique and creative way. Thanks so much!
Absolutely loved the format! Every logical step is being explained without being pedantic or redundant!
These conversation based tutorials are actually very cool
I first came accross your channel maybe around 18 months ago? I have over a decade experience writing tools in Excel VBA and decided to leverage that knowledge to get into game development. When I first started watching your channel, I found the content to be a bit too dense for me (read: it went way over my head), so I followed along some Brackeys tutorials to help me understand the real basics of Unity and C#. After getting a feel for better designing my code, your content (which I've been viewing over the last month) is changing the game for me; both in VBA and C#. I'm writing better structured code, and if I get stuck, I google around for a bit until I stumble upon what feature I'm looking for, and you generally have very clear instructions on how it should be implemented. Thank you a heap! Your content is pure gold.

I've been avoiding interfaces because I never got to know how they're actually used. This was just what I needed. Thanks!
This is such a cool way of explaining a concept! I've seen countless amounts of unity tutorials till date and the way you guys did it just amazed me. Keep it up guys!
Just watched a couple of videos explaining this concept, this one was the best. It not only made clear what interfaces are, but also how to use them. Thanks.
Dang, dude. Subscribed after one video. You set the record. I can tell how this channel will be after the production quality, after being straight to the point, being useful, you guys making it entertaining, with no requests to subscribe or littered with advertisements. Wish you all success.
Wow, this showed exactly why Interfaces are useful as opposed to just saying it's a contract that you attach to an object that you have to implement what it tells you. Subscribed!
This is the first time interfaces for interactable objects has clicked for me in I don't even know how many tutorials. Thank you!
Your channel is a lifesaver. I never fully understood interfaces until I watched this video. Every video of yours I've watched has given me so much more insight into concepts I didn't previously understand.
Hey, guys, thanks. I went down a small KZread rabbit hole after watching a bit on Unity's channel about persistent save data. They had an example that used an Interface, and I just never understood interfaces. This was the best explainer video I could find! Love the interaction between you-two, and it was simple enough to really grasp while having a great example tied to it! No, seriously, ya'll did a great job, and I will definitely be exploring the rest of your videos to learn more! Thanks!
I know using interface for each object's component but have not thought to use it as Composite like that. Thanks man. You're great!
Really cool way of doing this tutorial. Great job, Charles!
This is the most concise and understandable explanation of interfaces out there. Your videos truly are a blessing!
I love your approach with filming. Explaining with a clear example and resolving the problem chatting with a friend is pretty smart and something I'd love to see more because it is simple and easy to identify. Great job ! :D
I'm an iOS developer, not working on unity but I watch your videos because like the way you explain things. Appreciable
Please make more videos like these one. After a Really long search I FINALLY find out how to use interfaces and how it simplified the job. The last class that turned all interactables off just blowed my mind PLEASE make more videos showing how to implement common functionality in games. You are awesome, thank you.
This is hands down the best tutorial on interfaces out there, its 6 minutes, it very simply and clearly explains when to use them as well as how to use them, and then it even shows how to implement them into an existing problem. And i'm saying this as someone who went through 4 other tutorials having problems understanding what they were talking about, or not wanting to spend 40 minutes waiting for them to get to the point. Really wish more people made content this good.
I have to stop in the middle of the video to drop this comment: "I love it. Great channel. I'm learning what I'm looking for + tons of tip and fact!" Thank you

So glad I subbed to this channel. You guys are killing it! Thanks!
where did those guys go , they were so good honestly and provided some great practices and introductions to important topics like the use of jobs
Good stuff as usual. I enjoyed the Jason cameo as well :) I can't wait to see how you guys tackle DOTS when it's 'released'.
I sure like this format, a Q/A thing. Well done.
I love the narrative of this tutorial definitely hitting subscribe
its blows my mind thank you for this it really help my project to clean and easy to add things
I love the slightly awkward acting. The message is good too. In Unity inheritance is often better than interfaces though, as FindObject or FindComponent functions can manage the former but not the latter.
Nice, I really liked how the format provided context for solving the problem 🤓👍
generally, as a theoretical way, this is very hard to understand where to use this, or when to use this!but the way you gave the practical examples and the way you both were communicating made these things easy and understandable.
I've always struggled with learning interfaces and this just made so much sense to me!
the best example I have seen yet as use case for interfaces , Thank you
This is the best way of teaching and learning. You guys should post more of video like this..
Great tutorial guys. Interfaces are so much better than tags for finding and comparing objects with certain behaviours.
I really love this teaching style!
Wow, thank you ! And I like how you designed the way to introduce the issue and how to use Interface solve it, nice !
Awesome video Charles! Very professional and enjoyable to watch! keep it up
I live the new format of tutorials
Nice explanation! Fast and straight to the point.
Wow I really like this style of teaching. Its slow, calming, feels more in depth and easy to follow. I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOOVVEE IT!!!(but I don't love it enough to turn off my ad-block XD)
those guys are gods! cristal clear examples about abstract concepts. Bravo!
love these videos, always clear and to the point but also explained at a good pace that beginners can easily follow and more advanced devs can easily reference as good reminder

Awesome lesson! I'm developer but I have never seen how deep can be integrated the coding into unity. Really nice!
Very clear to the point tutorial. Thanks
As always, Great video, non clickbait video, straight to the point, and crystal clear on how use interfaces! Upvoted 2 times for you :)

I just found out about this channel and damn, these videos are really cool, I never tried implementing interfaces, but now I can see why they're so useful!
I LOVE these kind of tutorials :)
i loved this video. the acting is funny and added a new nice way to approach us haha. thanks for this very useful information about interfaces in unity!
I liked this format of video. Very nice!
Wonderful explanation of Interface in terms of 3d! We have found a practical example. Thanks Jason too
Best example of Composite pattern i've ever seen
This is the form of tutorials that we need
Great video. The narrative format is very interesting 🤔
Excellent refresher!
Simple but freaking awesome. Thanks a lot
YOOOOOOO .... this was a GREAT ONE! good job gentlemen.
Very nice video, always enjoy a good Storey.
This was killer! Loved it, and the composite example was a sweet cherry on top that I didn't know I needed :D

Thank you very much and stay healthy
I wish I had a friend like him.
Great style of teaching. Keep it.
Yep, i reach this step on my learning process. I kinda proud to be able make something work but in the same time worried of how the code mess. Thanks mate, +1 sub
Thanks! I had a hard time trying to understanding Interfaces. you saved my day :)
This is very helpful thank you
This is such a good video explaining interfaces with game development! My professor can only think of fruit and animal examples....this, however, makes much more sense than her just saying "it's a contract"....her explanation is as clear as mud. Thanks guys!

Haha yeah there’s always some super contrived example like sword types or animals. In reality those are rarely the use case for interfaces!
Nice I had no idea you could call get component for a class that implements an interface that way . That makes things so much easier 👌🏻
This feels so much like the videos teachers made me watch on high school when they didn't feel like teaching. But then of course for things like geography and math!😂
Brilliant Video, well explained.
Nice explanation, thanks
This helped tremendously.
damn Charles and Jason!!!! I got it now! ^^ Thanks guys.
Very helpful thanks for sharing
this was great, nicely done dudes
I am much more amazed by the usage of that keywords
Nice video. I liked the concept of ask a friend. The interaction brings a Nice tune to the video. Also very helpful tips to do interactables
As a beginners it's still somewhat difficult to comprehend but it certainly gives me some handles to start experimenting with how interfaces work and how I can implement them. Gonna get to it straight away, thanks for making this video and adding a bit of humor to it ;)
Best interface video I’ve ever seen.
What a great find!
Great, helped me a ton!
This good demo of concept of indirection.
Great Video! It's so interesting how my understanding of Interfaces ping-pong's back and forth between "I totally get it" and "I totally don't get it". This explanation makes complete sense to me, but your other video on 'SOLID Principles in Unity' that also dealt with Interfaces seemed confusing. Probably more so because of my inexperience than anything else. Anywho, thanks for the content! *Subscribed*
Just found you guys! Excellent videos! Love the cheese!
i love this, thank you!
Genius! I love you guys!
