Motivation

We created this project with the goal to develop a software project that showcases our passion for gaming and challenges us to create something engaging and fun. It's an opportunity to learn and grow while sharing our love for games with others.

Build Status

The game is currently in progress and not fully completed. While additional features can and may be added in the future, the game is currently playable. The core and most important functionalities have been implemented and are operational, providing a functional gameplay experience despite the ongoing development.

Code Style

Our Unity game follows a consistent and standardized code style to ensure readability and maintainability. We adhere to the widely-accepted Unity coding conventions, which include clear and descriptive variable and function naming, consistent indentation using tabs, and concise yet informative comments to explain complex sections of code.

Tech/Framework used

We chose to use the Unity engine for our game project due to its user-friendly interface and powerful capabilities. Unity employs the C# programming language, which enables us to code and design our game with ease. This, along with its extensive resources and community support, makes Unity the perfect choice for our school project.

API reference

We have implemented Unity's Netcode for the networking aspect of our game. This powerful feature allows us to create a seamless and interactive multiplayer experience, enhancing the overall gameplay and enabling players to connect and enjoy the game together.

Tests

For testing our game project, we used the Unity Testing Framework. There are two different types of testing: tests in "EditMode" and tests in "PlayMode". Each of these requires its own assembly definitions, which are then linked with the assembly definition of the scripts so that the test functions can access the project's classes.
