This is just an article on something I’ve found useful time and time again when creating game systems. …

As mentioned in the previous article, I’m opting for a simpler inventory system than what we might use for a more extensive game than the one I’m working on here. For that, what I’d personally recommend is taking a look into setting up some sort of dedicated PlayerInventory class which…
