Unity best practices:

• class names should be UpperCamelCase
• variable names and function parameters should be lowerCamelCase
• Scripts, Sprites, Audio files, Animations, Scenes, Object Tags and all other Assets should be UpperCamelCase
• no unneccessary bloat in the Update() method! This method is called every frame and can kill performance
• use PlayerPrefs to store values between game sessions
• important settings for GitHub:
  • Edit->Project Settings->Editor->Version Control->Mode must be set to Visible Meta Files
  • Edit->Project Settings->Editor->Asset Serialization->Mode must be set to Force Text

editor recommendation: VS Code(loads faster than visual studio), with following extensions:

• C#
• C# FixFormat
• Debugger for Unity
• Unity Code Snippets Improved
• Unity Tools
• Visual Studio IntelliCode
• choose vs code as default editor in unity (edit->preferences->external tools->external script editor->browse to AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe
• (Darcula Theme if you don´t want to kill your eyes)
