Is using LINQ allowed?
I have been using LINQ in parts of my game. It is mentioned in the Oculus guide to avoid LINQ, I have the two below bits of code, both do the same job. I have done some performance tests on a 1 mil...

There is no hard rule against LINQ or any of the practices our guides discourage. Our store team only looks at the end result - does the app pass the Technical Requirements Checks (Gear VR, Rift)? We try to help you meet those requirements, but how you meet them is of course up to you.
> Any advice on the garbage created from one to the other?
Typically LINQ and foreach create more garbage than a plain for loop because they instantiate iterators that take a small amount of memory for each iteration. You can check the GC impact by watching for spikes in Unity's CPU profiler. Look for GC.Collect.
