Object Pooling

Frequently creating and destroying GameObjects can create unnecessary CPU work and garbage collection.

Object pooling allows reusable objects such as bullets, enemies, particles, collectibles, UI elements, and visual effects to be reused instead of constantly instantiated and destroyed.

Performance Monitoring

This repository includes simple scripts for monitoring FPS and applying mobile-friendly performance settings.

These examples can help when testing Unity games on devices with limited CPU, GPU, and memory resources.

Optimization Guides

Texture Compression

Learn about texture resolution, compression, sprite atlases, mipmaps, Read/Write settings, and memory management.

Read the Texture Compression Guide

Reducing Draw Calls

Learn about batching, material reuse, sprite atlases, UI optimization, transparent objects, and rendering performance.

Read the Draw Call Optimization Guide

Memory Optimization

Learn practical techniques for reducing memory usage, avoiding unnecessary allocations, caching references, and managing assets.
