General
We can modify various templates of new Script, Shader, and Compute Shader files. This can be helpful to remove the empty Update stubs which, as we learned, can cause unnecessary runtime overhead. These files can be found in the following locations:
- Windows:
<Unity install>\Editor\Data\Resources\ScriptTemplates\ - OSX:
/Applications/Unity/Editor/Data/Resources/ScriptTemplates/
The recent release of Unity Version 5.1 introduced the Assert class and allows for assert-based debugging, which some developers are more comfortable with as opposed to exception-based debugging.
