| Jan 28, 2022 at 5:12 | comment | added | starikcetin | @DanielSunYang My suggestion would be to start with singletons as they are easy to use. With time you will see the damage to architecture they do and start looking for better options such as DI. For simple games, however, they will suffice. | |

In general, PlayerPrefs is better for publicly accessible data (which is usually the options settings), but it comes with restriction on the amount of data you can store into a single variable (since it's hardware-locked to 256bits per variable stored). Using a file allows you to save a many thing as you need, but comes with both slower read (disk-read) and edit. It's good to save characters data. DontDestroyOnLoad() is good for holding temporary data between scene | |
