#13 C# Job System - Simple Example - Unity Tutorial

I'm not sure if I can call this one a tutorial cuz it's just a simple example, but it should be enough to get you started if you've never tried using the Job System. Next I might try ECS (entity component system) or some other stuff related to DOTS.

I forgot to mention Burst Compiler but you just gotta use [BurstCompile] and make sure it's enabled:

Also check dependencies from other packages if you're getting an error in the package manager:
(must install correct packages in their correct versions)

Could you please show more examples how to use the job system without ECS DOTS. If ECS DOTS is included it will just become much more complicated. I and I think many others are already struggling with the BurstCompile using Job. Woudl be extremely happy if you could make a few examples.

For example using a cube that in a random direction and 1000 or more cubes are following the first cube. Similar as in a snake game. I would love to use a manager that manages all cubes and uses burst without DOTS.

i tried to put job system in use on my game, i used it on enemy path finding and updating angles/direction to the player, i found that unless you are going to run the same performance expensive function in a loop at the same time, otherwise unity will only run it in the main thread and other worker threads barely run it.

Very interesting dude ! I don't understand all things, but is it like multiple thread in one where it calculate one time for each instead multiple times for each ? Tell me if I'm wrong ^^
What are the situations we can use this, only for entities system ? Or also in data storage for example ?
