🌸 The Cart

A code library of tools that I use in conjunction with game-specific code to make my game projects.

Github Link: https://github.com/CarterGames/The-Cart/

The cart is pretty much the project that I place all the code I use between projects into. The idea is to eventually have a semi-decent library that I can use part or all of in any project with ease. Ideally with decent documentation to go with it.

This is an even ongoing project that I work on when I need a break from what I’m currently working on. Once I’m happy with the library as a whole and how stable it is I do place to do proper releases like I do with my other asset store work but just on GitHub.

Some of the key systems in the library as of writing are:

• Data asset system
  • Handles storing data in scriptable objects and storing a reference to them that can be accessed via code.
  • Includes a variant to pull data from a Notion database into an asset for use.
• Events
  • A custom wrapper of an action that auto cleans up subscriptions and allows anonymous subscriptions to have ID’s that can be cleared.
• Ticks
  • A system that runs a update loop at a slower rate, handly for performance where elements only need to update ever so often and not every frame.
• Runtime timers
  • A system to let you run logic after a set delay without needing to write a coroutine or update timer.
• Time
  • A setup to let you define custom time scales, handy for game pausing or adjusting speed for certain elements independently of the normal Time.timeScale
• Panels
  • A UI setup that shows a popup with a tween using a defined easing for the in & out transitions.
• Random
  • A random number setup that avoids inclusivity issues and allows random values from a range of methods.
• Extensions
  • A large number of extension methods to make adjusting values or common logic a lot easier to write.
