Unity versions not affected by Unity Runtime Fee

This is information that has been dug up by me and others in the Unity community. It's not official information from Unity (but most of the linked resources are). It is also not legal advise. I am not a lawyer.

TLDR:

Contrary to what Unity themselves are saying, for games made with these Unity versions, developers can elect not to be affected by a newer version of the Terms of Service that introduces the Unity Runtime Fee:

Unity 2022.x or earlier
Unity 2021.x LTS or earlier

CVE-2022-23812

RIAEvangelist/node-ipc is malware / protestware

The RIAEvangelist/node-ipc module contains protestware peacenotwar.

Excerpt from RIAEvangelist/node-ipc:

as of v11.0.0 & v9.2.2 this module uses the peacenotwar module.

UPM: How to make a custom package So, Unity has this shiny new package manager, and you have code you want to share between projects - wouldn't it be great if we could bundle up our shared code and plug it into all the projects that need it? Let's figure out how to make our own Package!

Todo

Modify the project manifest
Make a package manifest
Package the manifest up with some test code
Try it out in Unity!

	// Unity NativeArrays can't be used directly in Unity Burst methods (only in Burst jobs),
	// so we have to pass pointers to arrays instead.

	- Renders DepthOnly pass to _CameraDepthTexture, filtered by LayerMask
	- If the depth texture is generated via a Depth Prepass, URP uses the Opaque Layer Mask at the top of the Forward/Universal Renderer asset
	to determine which objects should be rendered to the depth texture. This feature can be used to render objects on other layers into the depth texture as well.

	Setup:
	1. Index buffer containing N quads (each 2 triangles), where N is the max amount of spheres. Repeating pattern of {0,1,2,1,3,2} + K*4.
	2. No vertex buffer.

	Render N*2 triangles, where N is the number of spheres you have.

	Vertex shader:
	1. Sphere index = N/4 (N = SV_VertexId)
	2. Quad coord: Q = float2(N%2, (N%4)/2) * 2.0 - 1.0
	3. Transform sphere center -> pos
