Resources

You can find many resources and scripts that help you with unity online, but a lot of it has a strongly varying degree of quality. This is an attempt to make the search for you easier.

Scripts

To avoid unecessary duplication of work, I intend to collect commonly useful scripts in the HFBK-Gitlab at code.hfbk.net/unity. You can see them as useful building blocks you can use for your projects. If you know how to use git you can use git clone to download those scripts to your computer otherwise you can just copy and paste the raw text as well.
