Reflection

Language Used: C#

Software Used: Unity Game Engine

Back in Year 2’s Hangry Guardians project, I was coding the tutorial for the beginner levels and I hesitated at the idea of coding each tutorial levels manually. There, I made a prototype Tutorial Event Manager script which allowed me to modularize certain blocks of code which did certain things in a linear order.

Seeing how unoptimized and ugly it was, I took it upon myself to learn to make it into a node editor and wanted to use it in my next project.

LEM 1 was more or less completed on June of 2020 where I learnt design patterns like the Command Pattern and how to write a custom Unity’s EditorWindow class.

However, that was not enough, LEM 1 was still unoptimized and hard to add custom code thus making it hard for me to use in a project where I may need to write custom effects.

Thus, I started my second iteration of LEM on September 2020 and completed it more or less on October 2020 where I made the node blocks more organized and simple to reuse and customize its code.
