Unity DOTS: System Base

In this episode, we apply the C# Job System to ECS WaveSystem. This gives us the benefits of multithreading with the example ECS System using the newer SystemBase.

Starter Project:

Software: Unity 2019.3.2 with HybridRender Version 0.4.0 and Entities Version 0.8.0 from the PackageManager.

I really love to see someone like you explain how to implement gameplay logic with ECS. Because spawning 10, 000 cubes is not the whole part of making a game. I heard that ECS is not only good for performance but also making the gameplay logic easier to write, debug, and extend.

I never comment on YouTube, but you just explained the differences so well I felt like I had to let you know. Thank you.

Another excellent video! Loving your DOTS-videos, please keep them coming! :)

I have searched a lot for DOTS content and this is undoubtedly the best one I found. Great explanations. Amazing series.

Your videos are great for people who actually wanna learn. Someone who needs a quick "how to" would get bored here, but people like me and many others who need to understand the fundamentals before trying to do stuff on our own really appreciate your lessons :)
So thank you!

You made best DOTS-videos I've ever seen. Thank you.

Absolutely lovely series for DOTS and it would be really awesome to see a complete DOTS mini-project. It would motivate me to start project using dots.

I actually think I understand the job system in Unity now, thanks! First video that's really clicked with me.

Great series so far. ECS in Unity was daunting for me at first but you've explained things really clearly. Also +1 for seeing an implementaiton of these concepts in a real game, even if it's just something small like an Asteroids clone.

I like your Unity videos, speaking very clearly and English accent is nice too. Hope you can make more Unity tutorial videos!

[RyanDB]

THANK YOU! With everything changing so quickly, this is the first I've even heard about this, and it's super useful to know

[aaaAaAAaaaaAaaAAAAaaaaAAAAaaa]

Seriously amazing tutorial, you have taught me more about DOTS and ECS than any of the unity documentation!

[unclerandy]

Brilliant explanations, I think if you made a full course there would be a lot of interest.
