## What it is
A collection of Unity sample projects designed as porting exercises from classic GameObjects/MonoBehaviours to Unity DOTS (Data-Oriented Technology Stack). Each sample is a small simulation or game that learners reimplement using DOTS APIs and data-oriented design principles.

## Use cases
- learn unity dots through hands-on exercises
- practice data-oriented design in unity
- port monobehaviour projects to entity component system
- find example dots simulations like ant pheromones
- train a team on unity ecs
- study performance-oriented unity programming

## When to choose
- you know classic Unity and want structured exercises to learn DOTS/ECS
- you want reference implementations of simulations like ant colonies or auto-farmers
- you prefer learning by porting working code rather than reading docs

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready DOTS code or templates
- you are looking for a finished game or asset pack
- you are new to Unity entirely and haven't used GameObjects/MonoBehaviours yet

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: simulation, game-engine, developer-tools
- domain: tutorials, simulation
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform, cpp
- tags: unity, dots, entity-component-system, data-oriented-design, samples, c-sharp, training-exercises, game-development
