Game Resource Management Techniques

The video tutorial by Code Monkey explains how to transition from a hard-coded resource type system to a more flexible one using enums and dictionaries. It covers setting up multiple resource types, updating gatherer logic, and modifying resource nodes and UI to support these changes. The tutorial ensures that the game functions correctly with the new system, allowing for easy addition of new resource types in the future.
