How to convert a game to DOTS

Thanks for your interest in this event, the On-Demand version will be ready soon!

The Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS) can unlock serious performance for your game – but how do you apply these tools to an existing project? When does it make sense to use a data-oriented design approach? And what’s a “hybrid approach,” anyway?

Get step-by-step instructions and practical tips in our webinar on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 12 pm ET / 9 am PT.

During this live session, Unity advocate Mike Geig will provide an overview of key DOTS concepts before implementing them in a GameObject-based project. See the tech live in action, and learn how and when to use different DOTS components so you can leverage them in a way that makes sense for your project.

This session is intended for experienced programmers with little or no preexisting DOTS knowledge, so it’s a good opportunity to get familiar with the tech. We’ll cover how to:

Analyze project performance and bottlenecks with the Profiler
Identify the anatomy of an Entity, Job, and System
Convert GameObjects and Behaviors into Entities and Systems
Determine when it’s better to use single- versus multi-threaded work

At the end of the webinar, Mike will host a short Q&A to answer questions about the presentation.

We plan to keep the conversation going on a livestream the following week. Join the DOTS team on Unity’s Twitch channel on April 24, 2024 at 12 pm ET, 9 am PT and ask your questions on how to get started with DOTS in Unity.
