Unity MonoBehaviour

Developers should learn MonoBehaviour when creating games or interactive applications in Unity, as it is the primary way to script gameplay mechanics, user interactions, and system behaviors

Pros

  • +It is particularly useful for real-time simulations, 2D/3D games, VR/AR experiences, and educational tools, where event handling and frame-by-frame updates are critical
  • +Related to: unity-engine, c-sharp

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Unity DOTS if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Unity MonoBehaviour if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for real-time simulations, 2d/3d games, vr/ar experiences, and educational tools, where event handling and frame-by-frame updates are critical over what Unity DOTS offers.
