1.About OOForm
OOForm is a lightweight, simple, wonderful, powerful and easy to use table (maybe you call it
sheet or form) editor tools for Unity3d.
OOForm can help you to create tables for your games easily. For example game
configuration table, role attribute table, localized string table etc.
OOForm provides an easy solution for creating and editing tables inside of Unity's interface
as well as solutions to read/write and modify tables easily with scripting.Although not as
powerful as database system, but for small and medium sized games is already enough.
OOForm uses paging to support large tables. So do not worry about your tables are too
large.
OOForm's table data format compatible with MS Excel ('\t' for columns and '\n' for rows). So
OOForm can be used in conjunction with MS Excel.
Simple but wonderful, this is OOForm. Hope you can love it.
