Why events are a neat trick for games

As I’ve discussed in other articles, C# events are a very powerful tool that is great for making more robust projects. In particular, they reduce the entanglement between the various systems in your project and help with decoupling.

Events are a way of maintaining communication between your game systems while keeping a nice separation of concerns: everyone does their own thing, but they can send messages to the others and be part of this big ecosystem.

It’s a great way of having your components be more autonomous and handle their logic logically but still be well incorporating in a larger project.
