What's a small misake that you've made from not knowing better that's easy to miss? (lemm.ee)

For me, I recently had to revamp something because I was taught to use PlayerPrefs for saving all game data and had to move everything to a JSON in order to make cloud saves work or even just transfering save files to other devices.

Another cool thing you can add is some of your own debugging like,

If debugswitch = true

StartTime = GetTime()

Do part of the loop

If debugswitch = true

EndTime = GetTime()

If (EndTime - StartTime) > then ReasonableTime DebugPrint("long wait time in process "x")

This will give you a message in the output console whenever a process takes more then 2 ms or whatever you set in the game loop.
