Create an Object-Pooler that instantiates and manages a collection of GameObjects.
Write a C# script that spawns GameObjects on a specified schedule.
Create assets to spawn and destroy objects, including particle effects.
In this one-hour, project-based course, you'll learn about the concept of object-pooling and its benefits in game-design.
