Part of my Futurae teaching intervention. Second student project: Unity recreation of The Line Zen highlighting core programming concepts and system design.

Core Features

🔄 Game State Management

• UnityEvent-driven state transitions (Menu/InGame/Pause/GameOver)

• Singleton implementation with scene persistence

🎮 Input & Movement

• Horizontal-only control via Rigidbody.position manipulation

• Input smoothing with axis clamping and dead zones

• Continuous collision detection + interpolation for fluid motion

🌀 Procedural Generation

• Runtime obstacle spawning with prefab variations

• Object pooling for segments and physic objects

💥 Collision System

• Layer-based interactions with physics material tuning

• Tag-driven responses (e.g., "Obstacle" triggers game over)

Key Programming Takeaways

⚡ Event-Driven Design

• Decoupled systems via Event subscriptions

• State changes broadcast across components without direct references

🔧 Physics Optimization

• FixedUpdate for movement vs Update for input polling

• Rigidbody interpolation + Continuous Dynamic collision mode

📦 System Architecture

• Singleton & Observer patterns

• SOLID principles

💾 Data Flow

• JSON serialization wrapped with PlayerPref
• Prefab variant system for obstacle modularity
