Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Finally, we will need to implement the GameLogic class."

A block of code is set as follows:

void Start() {
  GameLogic.Instance.RegisterUpdateableObject(this);
  Initialize();
}

protected virtual void Initialize() {
  // derived classes should override this method for initialization code, and NOT reimplement Start()
}

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Select System info from the Administration panel."

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.

Tips and tricks appear like this.
