Hey Devs,
Check out this free resource I've been making for other #Unity3d devs. It covers gang of four design patterns but in C#/Unity.
It has practical examples and free articles going more in depth on each pattern.

Hey Devs,
I was trying to come up with an example of the compound design pattern and went with a Finite State Machine.
Check out how this FSM uses both the state and facade patterns to create NPC behavior.

Sup Devs,
Many design patterns focus on abstracting the implementation but what if we abstracted the abstraction as well?
The bridge design pattern does just that. Check out this article and repo going into more detail.
