Best Practices

Project Structure

Employing an organized project structure is beneficial to your project and your team.

See the <a href="./Unity/Assets/">Unity/Assets/</a> folder for more info.

Scope Includes:

Folder Structure
Folder Naming
File Naming

Benefits:

Consistency — The project structure has consistency in presentation regardless of team location, spoken language, or individual programmers.
Maintenance — Consistent project structure will aid readability. Readability helps new and existing programmers revisit the code base for fixes and improvements.
Communication — Developers more implicitly understand each other in written and verbal communication.

Coding Standards

Coding standards define a programming style.

See the <a href="./Unity/Assets/Scripts/Runtime/RMC/Templates">Unity/.../Templates/</a> folder for more info.

Employing organized coding standards is beneficial to your project and your team.

Scope Includes:

Naming Conventions
File Naming and Organization
Formatting and Indentation
Comments and Documentation
Classes, Functions and Interfaces
Testing

Benefits:

Code Integration
Team Member Integration
Maintenance
Uniform Problem Solving
Minimizes Communication
Minimizes Performance Pitfalls
Saves Money Due to Less Man Hours
