Use a C# style guide for clean and scalable game code (Unity 6 edition)

The second edition of this guide compiles advice from industry experts on how to use or adapt existing industry standard code style guides. Establishing such a guide for everyone in your team to follow will help ensure a more maintainable and scalable codebase.

The goal of a style guide is to take the guesswork out of coding conventions and formatting so that you can focus on the solution.

This guide is a starting point for your team to discuss and agree on a common style. Pick and choose what works best for your team and project. In the e-book we explore the benefits of:

• Following consistent naming conventions
• Formatting your code for legibility
• Organizing classes and methods to keep them small and readable
• Commenting on any code that isn’t self-explanatory

These tips and tricks will help your development process in the long term, even if they cost you extra effort up front. A cleaner, more scalable codebase also facilitates the efficient onboarding of new developers as you expand your team.
