Habits that save time

• Save often, and edit while the game is stopped.
• Watch the Console. Most script problems announce themselves there.
• Use the Profiler to check the draw-call count before you blame the GPU.
• Test on a real phone early. Device emulation is good, but your thumbs are the real test.
• Keep assets inside the editor when you rename or move them.
