Implementing a smooth dash system in a 2D Unity game involves several key parts: detecting input, moving the player rapidly for a short time (dash), and then preventing repeated dashing by using a cooldown. This tutorial will walk you through building that system with clean, frame-rate-independent code using Time.deltaTime.

Unity in Practice 0010 – Flipping a 2D Character Horizontally in Unity
To fix the left run animation that appears incorrect, you generally don’t need a separate animation for left movement. Instead, use sprite flipping to mirror the existing run animation.

Unity in Practice 0009 – How to Use Sprite Sheets in Unity for 2D Animation and UI
In Unity, a sprite sheet is a single image file that contains multiple smaller graphics (sprites), often used for 2D animation, character states, or tilemaps. It helps improve performance and makes organizing related sprites easier.

Unity in Practice 0008 – Encapsulation and Inspector Access with Unity’s [SerializeField]
In Unity, the [SerializeField] attribute is used to make private fields visible and editable in the Inspector window of the Unity Editor. This allows developers to keep variables encapsulated (i.e., not publicly accessible in code) while still customizing them in the Editor.
