When using this repo a game can be started from the Unity Editor,
by starting the GameManagement scene from the Assets/Scenes folder.
The GameManager is a sort of bootloader, which sets up all the
other managers and orchestrates the match start process.
Once the main menu is loaded, the only real option for now is to start a local 1v1 match.
I'm using the free SlimUI store asset as the main menu.
Starting this match (using the button in SlimUI) sets off the async scene loading,
transition to the arena camera and match setup in the GameManager.
The GameManager provides a method which invokes an event once a specific scene has been loaded.
Here I'm using that to trigger a camera transition once the arena scene was loaded.
After the camera transition the InGameUI scene is loaded additively, after that
the match setup process in the GameManager is started.
To look into this process see:
Assets\SlimUI\Modern Menu 1\Scripts\Managers\SlimUIMainMenu Line 162 onwards
Assets\Scripts\Managers\GameManager Line 176 onwards
Also noteworthy is the ship movement logic in which I change the flying behavior and gravity
for the ship depending which zone it is in
and also the shader for the ripple effect of the inner/green/nimble zone, which is an older BRP
ripple shader converted to URP in ShaderLab/HLSL, featuring up to 5 simultaneously animated ripples.
