_Tiny modular pieces utilizing the power of Scriptable Objects_
## Influences
Unity Atoms is derived from and a continuation of Ryan Hipple's [talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raQ3iHhE_Kk&t=2787s) from Unite 2017. The original source code can be found [here](https://github.com/roboryantron/Unite2017).
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vmRwLYWNRo&t=738s) talk by Richard Fine is a forerunner to Ryan Hipple's talk during Unite 2016.
## Motivation
The general approach to building scripts in Unity often generates a code base that is monolithic. This results in that your code is cumbersome to test, non-modular and hard to debug and understand.
Unity Atoms is an open source library that aims to make your game code:
- 📦 Modular _- avoid scripts and systems directly dependent on each other_
- ✏️ Editable _- Scriptable Objects makes it possible to make changes to your game at runtime_
- 🐛 Debuggable _- modular code is easier to debug than tightly coupled code_
## Installation
### NPM
_Prerequisite: Since Unity Atoms is using the Unity Package Manager (UPM) you need to use Unity version 2018.3 >=_
Add the following to your `manifest.json`:
```
{
"scopedRegistries": [
{
"name": "NPM Registry",
"url": "https://registry.npmjs.org",
"scopes": [
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-core",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-mobile",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-mono-hooks",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-tags",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-ui"
]
}
],
"dependencies": {
...
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-core": "2.1.1",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-mobile": "2.1.1",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-mono-hooks": "2.1.1",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-tags": "2.1.1",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt": "2.1.1",
"com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-ui": "2.1.1",
...
}
}
```
Note that the core package is mandatory while the others are optional. If you don't want a subpackage, simply remove it from your `dependencies`.
### OpenUPM
The package is available on the [openupm registry](https://openupm.com). It's recommended to install it via [openupm-cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli).
```
# required
openupm add com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-core
# optional
openupm add com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-mobile
openupm add com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-mono-hooks
openupm add com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-tags
openupm add com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt
openupm add com.mambojambostudios.unity-atoms-ui
```
