Nova Needs to Tolerate Script Edits Run-time with Re-compile! Null Errors Galore.

REWROTE THIS -- I was mistaken about our own app... it's not fully supporting Edit/Continue yet, and may never get there.

Does NovaUI have a plan to enable this? (Edit-and-Continue without it throwing incessant Null errors.)

I was mistaken about how difficult this is to achieve. Looks like everything that is part of our game state needs to be full serializable, else it also becomes null. Yeesh.

I'm thinking of giving "Hot Reload" a try. The continual stop/restarting of Unity is painful. Need to find a way to reduce the amount of restarting.

Hot Reload helps, but is currently a bit lacking. Once you make your first code edit, it'll compile/run it without restart... (and this works with NovaUI) -- BUT, it doesn't allow you to set the BP's anymore until restart... So it's useful for one-free-edit without restart. After that, you can continue to edit -- and it'll apply, but you can no longer set BP's and stop/inspect variables.

It's a new product, and may be improved soon. This does seem to make things a bit better -- at least it cleanly allows one-free-edit and continue.
