THEO FARNOLE

▶️ MY TASKS

• Designing of a mobile game interface.
• Programming of the localization system
• Tools programming

▶️ WHAT I LEARNED / IMPROVED

• Use interfaces while designing the architecture to respect the ISP SOLID principle.
• Understand the main programmer's needs to provide tools.
• Special care to performance: the lighter the application is, the more we can have users 👍
• Development of units tests.

▶️ INTERFACE DEVELOPMENT

1. Learning about UX:
   • Usability
   • Ergonomy
   • Gestalt principles
   • Mobile heatmap
2. Gathering several references of mobile games UI
3. Wireframing in draw.io software
   • post mortem: I should have used a more appropriate tool like Figma or Adobe XD
   • I reused the UI from Clash Royale for two reasons:
     • Gamers are familiar with Clash Royale's UI: We don't have to teach them our UI
     • Supercell is a studio with a lot of budgets: they must have tester several versions of their UI, and keep the best.
4. UI programming in Unity
   • Focus on readability, maintainability, and performance
   • Making of a UML

▶️ TOOLS I HAVE CREATED OR IMPROVED

• 👀 The Watch Window

  • Objective: Make easier the game configuration
    
  
  
  • The tool: Gather every setting in the game on only one window.
    
    • Read all ScriptableObjects in the game and list them in the window
    • Creation of filters

• 🎨 JSON Prettifier

  • Problem: To verify if the save system was working well, the main programmer had to time-consuming steps.
  
  
  • Objective: Eliminate those painful steps to save the main programmer's time
  
  
  • The tool: Create a JSON prettifier into windows
    • Find a JSON prettifier algorithm on StackOverflow to save me time
    • Make an EditorWindow with a read-only text area with the JSON file prettified

• ❌ Errors detectors

  • Problem It is easy to introduce bugs while configuring the ScriptableObjects.
  
  
  • Objective: Detect errors in one click
  
  
  • The tool: A window with a custom framework C# tests
    • Creating a framework to test the ScriptableObjects.
    • To create a new test, we just had to inherit a certain class and implement the test() method.

▶️ LOCALIZATION SYSTEM

• Read a csv file, and store them in a dictionary.
• To translate a text, we either add a component to a text component or by calling a method
• Unit tests writing
