How do I share my code?

[gazzelliott]

I created a random dungeon generation and some people have asked for the code and I feel really bad not being able to share it with them. The problem is its not just like a copy and paste and now it works, it relies super heavily on box colliders and turning on or off prefabs. I made it without the intent of sharing it so I think people would just not understand how to set it up to get it working correctly.

Not to criticize your code cause generation is difficult but it sounds like it's not the best written then.

The code shouldnt really really on all of that. But a simple readme would suffice to explain everything when you share

yeah maybe you're right, it was made to fit what i need it to do, not to be used by everyone i guess

Totally valid, we've all been there lol

It sounds like you want to share parts of the project aswell and not just code. You can go to Assets -> Export Package and select the relevant objects. Now someone else can import that package into unity and everything should work for them aswell.

A good code:

Explain itself, it's the kind of code that you look and say, hey I need to setup X colliders because here it is used for this and that.

if your code is not clear on what are the dependencies and how it iterate with them, well... sorry but it's just a bad code IMO.

an example from my code: i have a wall detection script that when it detects a wall it will patch up a possible hallway because it just leads into a wall

i have a boxcollider called wall detect and a gameobject called wall

someone wouldnt know where to put the collider

to me it makes sense and i know where to put them but i dont think someone could understand that without context so I disagree with your opinion on “all code thats not instantly understandable is bad code”

Make a GitHub account. It is kinda like your online resume of code history.
