🧱 Part 4 - Using Prefabs

Summary

Prefabs are reusable blueprints for GameObjects. Updating a Prefab updates every instance in the scene, which saves time and helps keep the level consistent.

Key Ideas

  • Use Prefabs for repeated objects like houses, trees, and rocks.
  • If you need variations, create a Prefab Variant rather than starting from scratch.
  • Keep the Hierarchy organized with clear parent objects and headings.

Checklist

  • I use Prefabs instead of dragging raw sprites into the scene.
  • I understand how Prefab Variants work.
  • The Hierarchy stays organized while I build the level.
