What Will I Learn?

• Implement and lay out your inventory UI (user interface) so that the panels, buttons, slots and icons make sense.
• Use useful UI components like the Scroll View Asset and the Grid Layout Group to more easily structure your inventory UI.
• Use the drag-and-drop system so that players can pick up inventory items and move them to other slots, or drop them into the world.
• Use a pickup system with scriptable objects providing the data for specific inventory items.
• Use and modify the equipping system so that players can equip weapons and armor from their inventory.
• Interface between what the player sees in their inventory and what your backend system knows should be stored in the inventory.
• Use and modify a tooltip system that gives the player information about their inventory items.
• Make items stackable so that if a player has more than one of an item it only takes up one inventory slot and displays how many items have been stacked.
• Refactor your code so that when a new feature is added, it propagates to all areas of your project without breaking your game.
• Build a user interface mockup in Unity before your functionality is in place.
