Forcing to Handle Null - The concept of null is considered as the billion dollar mistake and I very much agree. The defects caused by it is even more apparent in games where state changes happen a lot. In a complex simulation game like ours, we encounter a lot of NullPointerException (NPE) that we can’t trace how it happened. It’s not supposed to happen but it did.

Wireframe Shading - Why did no-one tell me you can get wireframe shading for free, just by encoding barycentric coords into mesh vertex colors? I've been stumped on this for YEARS! There are like entire Unity assets that offer this, but you can do it with a few lines of #shaders code?

Fixed-Point: Shrink Data Sizes 4x - Floating-point math is fast these days, but fixed-point still has a purpose: we can use it to store real numbers in less than 32 bits. Saving a measly 16 or 24 bits off a float might not sound appealing, but cutting the data size in half or quarter often does when multiplied across large amounts of real numbers. We can shrink downloads, improve load times, save memory, and fit more into the CPU’s data caches. So today we’ll look at storing numbers in fixed-point formats and see how easy it can be to shrink our data!
