Mini-Map Functionality in Game Development

This video tutorial by Code Monkey demonstrates how to enhance a simple mini-map system in Unity. It covers creating scripts to control the mini-map window, handle individual icons, and manage the camera's zoom functionality. The tutorial also introduces a main class to streamline interactions and event handling, ensuring a clean and organized code structure. The video provides practical examples and testing methods to ensure the mini-map system functions effectively.
