Game System

Game Manager

The game manager has 3 part:

1. Game Manager gameObject: that is launched at startup.
2. Game Manager ScriptableObject Singleton: that is instantiated by the gameObject
3. Game Manager ScriptableObject

Game Task Subsystem

• lists of game tasks
• Game tasks are scriptable objects that can be synchronous or async

For example: at the start of the game, the only initiated process is the Game Manager.
It then starts a list of game tasks:
* Start the first scene
* Load other subsystems
* Initialise the saving mechanisms
* etc. until the game menu waits for player input.

Game Events Subsystem

Same as gametasks but player driven

• Game Event are scriptable object defining what the event is. One SO for each Game Event
• Game Event Listener are things that react to a trigger.
• Game Event Trigger are things that trigger an event.

Collectible

Collectibles are a sub-class of Events. They are :

• Consumed on collision
• They have an associated sprite (mostly for the UI, but may be for other use cases)
• They have a temporary cache system for the ones who can be lost when the player gets hurt
• Have two events:
  • OnCollect
  • OnLoss
• Can be respawned on loss (for PowerUps for example)

Save System

• Affects:
  • Player Preferences

Local save

• Save Redundancy (date, and backups / 5 slots backups)

Game State

Game Map

Main Scene containing GameObjects as proxies for a biome.

Game Restoring Parameters

Level System

Game Map

Contains informations relative to a Biome :

• The reference scene, made up of proxies
• The ingress points (in what checkpoint do you spawn depending on where you come from)

Level State

The level state is a accumulation of

• The Collectible state
• The GameEvents State

Event System

Deals with game events as Scriptable Objects

Localisation System

Current Langage

The current langage is defined in the Player Preference. Default langage is the English (hard coded).

Langage Scriptable Object

Is basically two synchronised lists:

• Key list for TextMeshPro items in the game
• Value list for Strings that is the translation to the langage of the original TextMeshPro

Langage Component

Has a player preference hard-link to know what the current langage is. On Awake, langage component interrogate the langage scriptable object to get

Utility - Scene Translator Window

On Opened, will look for all the TextMeshPro component without a langage component and add it. Then offers window with two panels:

1. Original text
2. Translated text
