About the video: 2D raycast
Overview
“The Raycast are a kind of invisible "lightning" that we can use within our game to detect physical bodies such as colliders and / or triggers and Act on them. We will see the concept of Raycast and how they are often used within games.”
In this video lesson Juan Diego Vázquez Moreno addresses the topic: 2D raycast, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 5 - 2D Physics in Unity. Expand your knowledge of physics and learn to control gravity.

“UNITY 2D COURSE 5 LESSON 6 2D Raycasts In this lesson I will show you what the Raycasts are. They are invisible physical rays that we use to detect Colliders or Triggers and act accordingly. Let's see how they work. What are 2D Raycasts? They are nothing but invisible rays that we launch in any direction of the stage and these rays will allow us to detect other Colliders or Triggers. what we can do with them?

Juan Diego Vázquez studied computer engineering at the University of Seville, Spain, and not long after kicking off his career as a programmer, he decided to take the plunge and start a video game development company along with a few colleagues. In 2013, he began collaborating on the development and publishing of a handful of 2D mobile games created using Unity alongside big industry names.
In 2015, he developed the video game Crossing Souls, an '80s inspired pixel art adventure available on PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. His journey through the world of video games has led him to develop various 2D games using Unity and its wide array of tools. He always seeks to perfectly balance the user's overall enjoyment with optimization of the user experience.
