Cobra Settings

Cobra Settings is a easy-to-use tool designed to simplify the management of game and app settings, similar to how settings are managed in other C# projects like ASP.NET.

This tool extends the functionality of standard C# app settings, offering flexible storage and retrieval options - from remote solutions like Google Drive or custom servers to local JSON files.

This tool is compatible with a wide range of services, not just Google Drive. It's designed to work with any platform that allows you to obtain a direct download link to your file. 

For Google Drive users, it's common to encounter links that aren't in a direct download format. Recognizing this, the tool includes a feature to automatically transform Google Drive URLs into direct links.

Cobra Settings is designed to efficiently load settings, whether they are from a web service or a local file, prior to the execution of any script’s Awake method. This ensures that all necessary information is readily available right when you need it, providing a seamless and reliable setup for your scripts.

This tool benefits both developers and players. Players avoid redownloading the game for minor updates, while developers save time as they don't need to rebuild, upload, and publish the game for these small changes. It's a straightforward, useful, and essential tool in game development.
