🔧 Enabling MemoryPack Support (Optional)

SaltboxGames.Core can integrate with MemoryPack for fast, zero-allocation serialization. This support is opt-in via a build flag.

---

✅ For .NET Core Projects

To enable MemoryPack, create a file named Directory.Build.props at the root of your solution (alongside your .sln file):

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <EnableMemoryPack>true</EnableMemoryPack>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

This will:

• Define MEMORY_PACK
• Add the MemoryPack NuGet package automatically

---

✅ For Unity Projects

1. Install MemoryPack-Unity
2. This will automatically define MEMORY_PACK
