    Over 800 extension methods for Unity and general C# development. Methods were submitted by the Unity community, gleaned from third party websites, and developed by me during my game development career.

    Tested on these platforms: PC, Mac, Android, iOS, WP8, and Web Player. Should work on all Unity supported platforms.

    Methods for:
    * Targetting
    * Layers
    * Movement and Rotation
    * GameObjects and Components
    * Spawning Objects and Prefabs
    * Serialization
    * Exceptions
    * Lists and Arrays
    * Cryptography (WP8 safe)
    * Numbers and Conversions
    * Strings
    * Many more!

    @merlin981 ,

    Any chance of some regex support - some methods for parsing dice rolls / dice roll notations (I've had a google and nothing perfectly fits the bill)?
