Using Unity 3D 2.6 with MonoDevelop
Since I want to dive into C# and code most of my game in that language, I was searching for a tool to make my life a bit easier – I just love stuff that writes for me ...
Since C# is, once again, a rather Microsoft-centric thingy, there aren't that many editors out there – except for MonoDevelop, which works like a charm on many systems.
Add the factor, that MonoDevelop supports VisualStudio files – and that Unity actually can export those. With a snap you have set up MonoDevelop to work with Unity. Now add some documentation – and presto, nothing keeps me from outputting nice XML files with statistical data about the whereabouts of the player.
Well ... nothing except my apparent inability to wrap my head around the XMLWriter ...

XML writing
Take a look at LINQ-to-SQL or dynamic features of C# to simplify your XML writing.
Thanks for the tip, I will
Thanks for the tip, I will look into it. Right now, I solved it using a combination of StreamWriter and XMLWriter; and referencing a XML fragment from another XML file due to the fact that I have a log-like structure in which data has to be appended on a regular basis.
