Space Shooter - Modular Architecture

MVC Architecture

The Player logic is cleanly separated into three layers to avoid the "God object" anti-pattern:

• Model: Manages state (health, position) and core logic, broadcasting changes via C# delegates.
• View: Handles graphics and animations by listening to Model events.
• Controller: Processes PC/Mobile input and issues commands to the Model.

Strategy Pattern

Enemy and entity movement is governed by a dynamic strategy system. Instead of hardcoding behavior, agents use interchangeable strategies:

• Linear/Path/Target: Different movement logic derived from a base class.
• Steering: Includes Reynolds-style steering for organic motion.
• Runtime swapping of AI behaviors.

Observer Pattern

A central Event Bus (EventsManager) decouples global game systems. Systems broadcast events like GAME_OVER or WIN_GAME, allowing listeners (like UI or Audio) to react without direct dependencies.

Optimization & UI

High-performance systems to ensure a smooth experience:

• Object Pooling: Recycles bullets and enemies to prevent Garbage Collection spikes.
• UI State Machine: A stack-based system (Push/Pop) for layered menus, managed securely by the GameManager.
