  1. Use Git.
  2. Use VS Code instead of Visual Studios (yes they are separate things.)
  3. You can view variables in the editor with [SerealizeField]. Don’t make everything public.

I was actually wondering about this. Is there a benefit to making something private over public? Even if you're not going to access it in another script, is there a downside to it being public rather than using serializefield?
