While still learning and working in Godot, I decided to scratch this topic of my bucket list of programming topics.

In this video I discuss the differences between interfaces and inheritance, and when I would use one over the other. The first part of the video explains those concepts with pseudocode-examples

The second part of the video focuses on a real unity3d game project and why certain classes use inheritance and why others use interfaces.

In talking about these differences I didn't mention the specifics of that project enough I feel, the link for the GitHub link so you can download and look through it yourself is down below. I might make another video just to go through it in more detail

I hope you learned something or gained some insight, thank you for watching!

This video deserves WAY MORE VIEWS. This is one of the best explanations for anything coding I've seen! WELL DONE

[TioYoh]

This is a Hiddem gem, thanks for the effort into making this video

[BVInAZ]

Great explanations. I've used both but still confusing to explain. 5:36 mark was what I needed, the differences.

i feel like i learned a bunch while i also learned nothing..

my head hurts… too much word..

good video though! This is probably the best way to explain abstract vs interface

[omegakiller]

I am not a GODOT developer. Hell i am not even a game developer. But this was really helpful to clear my thoughts about abstract and virtual functions :-)

Thank you for the well made and explained video!

Thank you so much for your video. You have a really good understanding and implementation of inheritance. Nowaday people generally prefer composition (interface) over inheritance because so many mistakes where done with it. Some new language like Go and Rust got rid of inheritance because of that. But a thoughtful usage of it can help in code reuse

Also a big thanks for explaining the difference between abstract methods and virtual function ! (I suscribed by the way)

Lol, props for the IYeetable and FoxSounds. 😂😂😂

[TotallyNotZoid]

Great video! I love the video style, how do you make those code animations?

[djpersonalspace]

Excellent video, earned a like and subscribe for "iYeetable" 😂

[etistyle]

thank you dude. I was wondering, what the difference between having an interface like IMakeSound MakeSound()
and a TypeOfSound abstract class with an abstract Method MakeASound() that have multiple override MakeASound Child like CatSound : TypeOfSound, GongSound : TypeOfSound that would be referenced in the calss like :

public Class Cat : {
public TypeOfSound mySound
initialization{
mySound = getComponent<CatSound>()
}

Great and informative video thanks for sharing this and keep it up bro👏
