Inventory System Design
An inventory system allows the player to store and manage collected objects in an organized way. Before implementation, decide which information will be stored and how objects will be added or removed. In a simple system, item name, quantity, and inventory capacity can be basic requirements.

Items
Add Item
Remove Item
Display ItemsBasic Inventory Responsibilities
An inventory system can have separate responsibilities. Storing item data, accepting a new item, removing an existing item, and displaying its contents are examples. Organizing these operations into separate methods improves code readability.
StoreItemData()
AddItem()
RemoveItem()
DisplayInventory()Practice Create the Inventory Class Skeleton
Create a C# class named InventorySystem to represent the inventory system. Inside the class, define a public Initialize method that can be implemented later without performing any operation yet.
Starter code
using UnityEngine;Sample solution
using UnityEngine;
public class InventorySystem : MonoBehaviour
{
public void Initialize()
{
}
}Expected output
Inventory sistemi hazır
