A Better Alternative to Singletons in Unity
Singletons are one of the easiest ways to get a Unity project off the ground - and one of the fastest ways to turn your codebase into spaghetti.
If you’re tired of MonoBehaviour Singletons polluting your architecture, but full dependency injection frameworks feel like clunky overkill, this video is for you.
In this video, I’ll show you a practical middle ground: the Service Locator pattern. We’ll build it from scratch in Unity, step by step, and look at how it can give you many of the benefits of DI without as much overhead.
