Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "These can be accessed through the UnityEngine.Profiling.Profiler class through its BeginSample() and EndSample() methods."

A block of code is set as follows:

void DoSomethingCompletelyStupid() { 
  Profiler.BeginSample("My Profiler Sample");  
  List<int> listOfInts = new List<int>();  
  for(int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {    
    listOfInts.Add(i);  
  }
  Profiler.EndSample();
}

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "When a Unity application is compiled in Development Mode."
