Pooling System

In the initial stages of development, our aim was to craft a game that truly stood out from the crowd of other projects. The inspiration for this endeavor struck me when our teacher revealed a novel enemy spawning and management system. It was a fresh and exciting concept that I eagerly embraced, setting the course for our project's distinctive approach.

This marks my initial attempt at crafting a pooling system for our game project. Looking back, I can truly appreciate how chaotic and messy the code appears. I've decided to keep it as a memorable piece, a reminder of the progress I've made.

The script takes in a maximum number of enemies and determines the events in which these enemies should spawn. Despite its messy appearance, I thought this approach would simplify the process of placing event calls. This script was particularly significant as I was in charge of our day and night cycle.

Day and Night Cycle event System

This marked an exciting turning point for me. I took on the role of one of the programmers responsible for implementing a Day and Night Cycle. This cycle not only adds a dynamic element to the game but also serves as the backdrop for spawning enemies integrating seamlessly with the EnemyPool script.

I really now love using ScriptableObject! I did not use much in my spare time projects. However it woke me up to utilize ScriptableObjects! The Day and Night Cycle is made of using ScriptableObject as a Data Asset

This is the messy script that handle events for days and night. It was truly a great learning experience to understand how to write and refactor cleaner code. This script allowed the artist to place their colors for the night sky to change alongside the environment.

How it looks like on day time.

Summary

I found myself much more comfortable working on this project compared to the previous one in Unity. It seems I've leveled up a bit in my skills.

The experience was enjoyable as I collaborated closely with my group members. We worked together, reaching out for help and assistance when needed. My motivation to improve my craft remained high throughout the project.
