Boating Through

Boating Through is a fast-paced, infinite runner-style arcade game built in Unity.

Gameplay

Guide your boat through a procedurally generated path of tiles. The path zig-zags, and one wrong turn sends you sinking into the abyss.

How to Play

1. Start: Click anywhere to begin.
2. Steer: Click (or tap) to switch direction. The boat alternates between moving Forward and Left.
3. Goal: Survive as long as possible and beat your high score.

Features

• One-Tap Controls: Simple, addictive gameplay mechanics.
• Dynamic Path: The course is generated as you play.
• Graphics: Features a vibrant cel-shaded art style and stylized water rendering for a unique visual aesthetic.

Project Structure

• Assets/Scripts/GameManager.cs: Handles game state (Menu, Playing, Game Over), scoring, and time manipulation.
• Assets/Scripts/Player.cs: Manages boat movement, input handling, and "sinking" physics.
• Assets/Scripts/TileManager.cs: (Inferred) Likely handles the spawning of new path tiles.

Script Reference

Core Logic

• GameManager.cs: The central singleton. Manages high-level game states (Menu, Playing, GameOver), coordinates the slow-motion death effect, and handles the auto-restart timer.
• Player.cs: Controls the boat. Handles the "tap-to-turn" input logic, constant forward movement, and the raycast-based ground check that triggers the sinking mechanic.
• TileManager.cs: Procedural generation system. Uses Object Pooling (Stack<GameObject>) to efficiently recycle path tiles (Top/Left variants) and randomly spawns pickups.

Systems

• UIManager.cs: Updates the HUD (Score) and Game Over screens (Restart countdown).
• AudioManager.cs / Sound.cs: A custom audio system for playing SFX and Music.
• Pickups.cs: Handles the floating collectibles, adding score upon collision with the player.
• Tile.cs: Logic for individual path segments (e.g., attach points).
