_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` (which is located under your project location in the folder `Packages`):

```
{
"scopedRegistries": [
{
"name": "NPM Registry",
"url": "https://registry.npmjs.org",
"scopes": [
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-core",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-base-atoms",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-fsm",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mobile",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mono-hooks",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-tags",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-ui",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-input-system"
]
}
],
"dependencies": {
...
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-core": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-base-atoms": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-fsm": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mobile": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mono-hooks": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-tags": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-ui": "4.5.0",
"com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-input-system": "4.5.0",
...
}
}
```

Note that the core and base atoms packages are mandatory while the others are optional. If you don't want a subpackage, simply remove it from your `dependencies`.
Note that subpackages may have additional 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.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-core
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-base-atoms

# optional
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-fsm
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mobile
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mono-hooks
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-tags
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-ui
openupm add com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-input-system
```
