Simple Unity rush hour puzzle game

TODO

There are several assets that must be installed to work with the project!

• External/
  • ALINE
  • Message Dispatched (ooti)
• Plugins/
  • Odin Inspector (Sirenix)

Unity does not serialize public properties or private attributes by default, which can lead to some interesting/unexpected scenarios. Public attributes will be properly serialized and displayed in the editor.

Public properties can be displayed in the editor but will not be serialized. Instead, use a serialized private property along with a public accessor to both display and serialize the data.

Private fields can be serialized and displayed in the editor with the [SerializeField] attribute. However, without this attribute private fields will not be serialized (stored)! If wanting to serialize a private field but not display it, add both the [SerializeField] and [HideInInspector] attributes.

Due to the way Unity's "Fast Play" mode works, the "Domain Reload" option conflicts with the Message Dispatcher static fields. As Unity Manual on this topic, some additional work is needed in the MessageDispatcher class. Without these changes (including Editor tags!), the DontDestroyOnLoad object used to track events will not be present!

[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration)]
static void Init()
{
    Debug.Log("Message Dispatcher - Init");

    sStub = (new GameObject("MessageDispatcherStub")).AddComponent<MessageDispatcherStub>();
    mMessages = new List<IMessage>();
    mMessageHandlers = new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, MessageHandler>>();
    mListenerAdds = new List<MessageListenerDefinition>();
    mListenerRemoves = new List<MessageListenerDefinition>();
}
