Employing an organized project structure is beneficial to your project and your team.
See the Unity/Assets/ folder for more info.
Scope Includes:
- Folder Structure
- Folder Naming
- File Naming
Benefits:
- Consistency — The project structure has consistency in presentation regardless of team location, spoken language, or individual programmers.
- Maintenance — Consistent project structure will aid readability. Readability helps new and existing programmers revisit the code base for fixes and improvements.
- Communication — Developers more implicitly understand each other in written and verbal communication.
Coding standards define a programming style.
See the Unity/.../Templates/ folder for more info.
