Welcome to the repository for the Gravity Dash game! This 2D platformer project features dynamic player mechanics, diverse pickups, and an engaging level progression system.
The Gravity Dash game is a 2D platformer developed in Unity. The project includes various gameplay mechanics, UI elements, and level design features that enhance the overall player experience.
- Player Mechanics: Responsive movement, gravity switching, and collision interactions.
- Level Progression: Dynamic unlocking of levels based on player progress.
- Interactive UI: Elements for level completion, player death, and level selection.
- Diverse Pickups: Unique effects such as extra lives, checkpoints, and mass increase.
- Code Structure: Modular scripting, scene transitions, and data persistence.
- Gameplay Enhancement: Engaging mechanics, level design, and interactive elements.
The project follows the MVC architectural pattern, which separates the application into three interconnected components:
-
Model: Represents the game's data and business logic. Includes classes for the player, pickups, and game state.
-
View: Handles the visual aspects of the game, such as UI elements, player animations, and rendering. The
PlayerViewscript, for example, manages the player's visual components. -
Controller: Controls the game's behaviour and user input. The
PlayerControllerscript, for instance, manages the player's actions and interactions.
Several components in the project, such as the GameManager, EventService, and UIService, implement the Singleton pattern:
-
GameManager: Manages game state, scene transitions, and game elements such as platforms and pickups.
-
EventService: Handles game events like player death, pickup collection, and level completion using events and delegates.
-
UIService: Manages user interface elements and their interactions, including restart buttons, lobby buttons, and level completion UI.
The Observer pattern is utilized through the EventService. It allows decoupled components to subscribe to and respond to events triggered by other parts of the game. For instance:
- Subscribing to the
PlayerDiedevent displays the player death UI. - Subscribing to the
PickupCollectedevent updates UI elements and triggers game effects. - Subscribing to the
LevelCompletedevent displays level completion UI.
Scriptable Objects are used to store and manage game data and configurations:
- PlayerScriptableObject: Contains player-related configuration data such as speed, mass change, and increased mass duration. This allows for easy tuning and balancing of player mechanics.
