Team Scale: Solo Project
Role: Programmer
​
What was the goal of this project: The goal of this project was to learn how to use standard C# Multithreading within unity.
​
Process: The sole focus of this project was to learn C# Multithreading, as a result I first focused on figuring out how multithreading works within C# and how to do it, I then figured out how to try to avoid potentially unsafe conditions which could cause unexpected and unpredictable results, which would be much more likely throughout gameplay due to the nature of user input. I then programmed a player controller for a 2D platformer using multithreading since I already had knowledge on how to create a 2D platformer controller within unity. After which I focused on fixing things up and trying to remove anything that could cause issues within runtime.
​
Reflection: I learned that both multithreading is not the be all and end all solution for your problems and that it can in-fact make things worse if not implemented properly. While this project doesn't have much use in the real world when it comes to using multithreading within games as you'd normally never have a player controller set up this way. This project acts as a valuable resource for how to implement things with multithreading in a standardized way within game engines.
