Summary

In this chapter, you learned about object-orientation, a concept that will be exhibited throughout the rest of the book. Because of its structure of GameObjects with components, Unity is perfectly designed for an OOP mindset.

Another interesting element of OOP is the concept of modularity. In many ways, modular code is the opposite of monolithic code. Modular coding focuses on making small, reusable functions and classes that do one thing really well. Because modular classes and functions are small (that is, fewer than about 500 lines), they are easier to debug and understand. Modular code is also designed to be reusable. As you progress into the tutorial chapters in Part III of this book, you will start to see code that is reused from one project to the next in the form of a Utils class.

The next chapter takes a bit of a departure from the coding that we’ve been doing in the rest of Part II. In Chapter 27, “The Agile Mentality,” you learn about a method of managing small development projects that I have found works very well for individuals and small teams. It may seem a little dry for a book about game design and development, but I have seen it be a tremendous help to small teams looking to develop games on schedule.
