    How to create framerate independent movement in Unity

    Due to the fact that scenes might run at different frame rates due to complexity of the level, you don’t want your game to work differently during different scenes. One way to handle movements in Unity game engine is by taking into account the time of change as movement is taken into account. By using

    How to implement a Queue in Python

    A queue is a data structure commonly found in software engineering. Let’s take some time to try to implement our own queue class in Python. Queues work via First In First Out(FIFO) principals. What that means is that the sooner an item is added to a list, the sooner that the item will be available

    Const, Let, and Var

    In ES6 and beyond, Javascript will give us 3 options for creating variables. The 3 options are Const, Let, and Var. Var has been around as long as Javascript whereas Let and Const are newly available via ES6. Var variables are created with functional scope and this can cause a lot of problems in your
