    Unity uses .NET to ensure applications can run on different hardware. It has two scripting backends, Mono and IL2CPP. Mono uses just-in-time compilation while IL2CPP uses ahead-of-time compilation. When entering play mode in the editor, Unity resets the scripting state and reloads the scene. Serialization transforms data into a format Unity can store and reconstruct, affecting performance. Compilation normally compiles all scripts into one assembly but this has downsides like increased compilation time for changes.

    UNITY’S ARCHITECTURE

    • The Unity engine is built with native C/C++ internally, however it has a C#
    wrapper that you use to interact with it. As such, you need to be familiar with
    some of the key concepts of scripting in C#.

    2
    HOW DOES UNITY USE .NET ACTUALLY?
    The .NET platform is a free and open-source, managed
    computer software framework for Windows, Linux, and
    macOS operating systems.
    The project is mainly developed by Microsoft employees
    by way of the .NET Foundation and is released under an
    MIT License.

    Unity uses the .NET platform to ensure that


    applications you make with Unity can run on a wide
    variety of different hardware configurations. The
    .NET platform supports a range of languages and API
    libraries.

    THE SCRIPTING
    BACKENDS IN UNITY
    Unity has two scripting backends:
    Mono and IL2CPP which is the
    intermediate language To C++,
    each of which uses a different
    compilation technique:
    Mono uses just-in-time (JIT)
    compilation and compiles code on
    demand at runtime.
    IL2CPP uses ahead-of-time (AOT)
    compilation and compiles your
    entire application before it is run.

    4
    Code reloading in the Unity Editor 5
    When you enter Play Mode, your project starts and runs as it would in a build. Any changes you make in the Editor
    during Play Mode reset when you exit Play Mode.

    When you enter Play Mode in the Editor, Unity performs two significant actions to ensure your project starts in the Editor
    in the same way as it would in a build:

    It resets the scripting state (this is also called a “Domain Reload”)

    It reloads the Scene

    These two actions take some time to perform, and the amount of time increases as your scripts
    and Scenes become more complex.

    The ability to quickly enter and exit Play Mode is an important factor while you are developing your game or app. The
    faster you can enter and exit Play Mode, the faster you can make and test changes.

    Because a rapid speed of iteration while developing is important, and because the time to reset the Scene and scripting
    state can become an obstacle to that, Unity offers the ability to configure what happens when you enter Play Mode,
    giving you the option to disable either, or both, of the “Domain Reload” and “Scene Reload” actions. These two options
    are provided by the Configurable Enter Play Mode feature.
    The diagram below shows the effects of disabling the Reload Domain and Reload Scene settings.

    SCRIPT SERIALIZATION AND COMPILATION

    SERIALIZATION COMPILATION
    • Serialization is the automatic process of • By default, Unity compiles almost all of your game scripts into
    transforming data structures or GameObject the predefined assembly, Assembly-CSharp.dll. (Unity also
    states into a format that Unity can store and creates a few smaller, specialized predefined assemblies.)

    • Any script can directly access types defined in any other script,
    which can make it more difficult to refactor and improve your

    code.

    All scripts are compiled for all platforms.
