// When creating shaders for Universal Render Pipeline you can you the ShaderGraph which is super AWESOME!
// However, if you want to author shaders in shading language you can use this teamplate as a base.
// Please note, this shader does not necessarily match perfomance of the built-in URP Lit shader.
// This shader works with URP 7.1.x and above

This list is provided as a guide for tools engineers of all skill levels looking for jobs in the game industry. It's meant as a guide to topics that should be pursued broadly in order to be well spoken in an interview. I doubt any hiring manager requires deep knowedge across every topic, but an ideal candidate would be somewhat knowledgable (aware of its existence if asked directly) with all topics here.

Each list of bullets increases in difficulty, so later bullets are more applicable to senior (or even director) level candidates.

Good luck.

void NormalizeSlope () {
	// Attempt vertical normalization
	if (grounded) {
		RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector2.up, 1f, whatIsGround);
		
		if (hit.collider != null && Mathf.Abs(hit.normal.x) > 0.1f) {
			Rigidbody2D body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
			// Apply the opposite force against the slope force 
			// You will need to provide your own slopeFriction to stabalize movement
