Conclusion

Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn’t take it away from you. – John Carmack, cofounder of id Software

We hope you enjoyed this introduction to the principles of clean coding and code style guides. The techniques presented here are less a specific set of rules than a set of habits, and like all habits, you’ll need to discover them yourself through daily application. As mentioned earlier in the guide, feel free to copy this C# style sheet for Unity developers to use as a starting point for your own guide. Make the tweaks as needed, depending on your preferences. The most important thing is you agree on a standard as a team and stick to that. However, it doesn’t stop with styling conventions. Prepare your code to be scalable by breaking it into small, modular pieces. As the marathon of development unfolds, expect to rewrite your code over and over again. Production can be a trying process with changing requirements.

If you are interested in more resources on writing a clean, organized, and readable codebase, check out our other e-book Level up your code with design patterns and SOLID and its companion sample project on the Unity Asset Store.
