Project Architecture

This project is built using the Impulse Framework.

  • Zenject is used for DI, binding, memory pool, and event system (signals). To see how the scene is wired, look at the GameInstaller component attached to SceneContext.
  • Input handling is done by InputListener. It listens to input from the CrossPlatformInput manager and fires events accordingly.
  • Player is set up using a Model-View-Controller pattern (MVC), where the model and controller are in Scripts/Player and the views are in Ships/PlayableShips. PlayableShip is the abstract class for player-controllable ship views. Note that there is only one playable ship, but the structure allows for adding more views easily - just extend PlayableShip and put the new script on a new ship object.
  • Weapons implement IWeapon and must have an impact damage property. See MissileWeapon, ScoutShipView, and PlayerController for how the impact damage amount is passed via event.
  • Rails gameplay is driven by Timeline. The player path runs at 0.8 speed since I originally made it too fast. Each 'wave' of enemy ships is tuned to run at a different speed for a more smooth gameplay experience.
