Requirements

The GDX package can be dropped into any compatible Unity project and selectively enables portions of its functionality based on what packages it finds in the project. GDX accomplishes this feat by utilizing a preprocessor setup that places functionality behind gated conditionals set by the assembly definition.

Unity Versions

The suggested minimum Unity version for using GDX is Unity 2022.2; internal development is done on 2022.3.

Compatibility is automatically tested against Unity's Long Term Support releases 2020.3,2021.3 and 2022.3, as well as the current 2023.2 release. While we do our best to support features across all versions of Unity, there are cases where we are unable to support older legacy LTS versions of Unity.

GDX utilizes assembly definition version defines to gate feature sets and employs specific coding patterns that may not be available in previous versions of Unity.

Supported Packages

We try to make sure we are compatible with the latest verified release of a package across all supported versions of Unity where possible.

Define	Package	Minimum Unity Version	Minimum Package Version
GDX_ADDRESSABLES	com.unity.addressables	n/a	1.18.19
GDX_BURST	com.unity.burst	n/a	1.6.4
GDX_MATHEMATICS	com.unity.mathematics	n/a	1.2.5
GDX_PLATFORMS	com.unity.platforms	n/a	0.9.0
GDX_VISUALSCRIPTING	com.unity.visual-scripting	2021.1	1.5.2
GDX_COLLECTIONS	com.unity.collections	n/a	1.2.3

Note

It is essential to remember that the GDX_* defines are only valid inside the GDX assembly, see Conditionals if you wish to access some semblance outside of GDX.

Portability

Automation continually checks the portability of the code used in GDX to ensure the compatibility across various platforms generating a report.
