# Color Book — Architecture Guide
A toddler-targeted (ages 2–6) coloring book game built on the same **Strict Modular Monolith** pattern as the Bus Game. Powered by **VContainer** for DI, **UniTask** for async, **Addressables** for shipped content, and a **Canvas-only UI** render strategy.
This document is the canonical reference for the Color Book game's structure. The Bus Game's [Darkmatter Architecture Guide](../Assets/Darkmatter_Architecture_Guide.md) is the parent contract; this doc only adds game-specific structure.
---
## 1. Game Flow
Four scenes. Each gets its own scope. Root services persist across all of them.
```
┌─────────────────┐
│ Boot.unity │ RootLifetimeScope — services + cross-scene singletons
│ │ AppBoot: Addressables.Init → Progression.Load → Catalog.Init
└────────┬────────┘
│ Scenes.LoadAsync("MainMenu")

└─ stays in Gameplay.unity, no scene transition
```
The user views captured drawings inside the phone's native **Photos** app — there is no in-app gallery viewer. `ICaptureService` produces PNG bytes; `IGalleryService` is a thin shim over a native plugin that writes those bytes into the device's photo library. The Save System (§13) decides *when* to capture and save.
---
## 2. Philosophy
Identical to Bus Game:
- **Vertical slices** — code grouped by Feature, not by type.
- **Strict layering** — dependencies flow downward only.
- **Composition over inheritance** — wired by DI.
- **Code vs Content** — `Code/` for logic, `Contents/` for assets.
Game-specific additions:
- **Toddler-first UX** — large hitboxes, forgiving snap radii, no fail states, no timers.
- **Stateless replay** — every action (paint, snap) is an `ICommand` so undo/redo and auto-save are trivial.
- **Capture-as-truth** — the gallery is a folder of PNGs on disk, not a serialized scene graph. What the child sees is what gets saved.
---
## 3. Dependency Graph
```
App ──────────┐
▼
Features ──► Core ◄── Services
▲
└── Libs
```
### Forbidden actions
- Services cannot reference Features.
- Features cannot reference Service implementations — only Core contracts via DI.
- Features cannot reference other Features — use `IEventBus` signals or Core contracts.
- Core may not contain logic. Interfaces, enums, DTOs, signal records only.
- Core may reference `UniTask` for async contract signatures. Nothing else.
---
## 4. Folder Structure
This section reflects the **actual project on disk today**. Empty folders that have been reserved for upcoming work are marked `(planned)`; everything else has at least one file in it. Aspirational additions for the rest of the game are listed in §4c at the bottom.

### 4b. Conventions visible in current code
- **Asmdef per Service / Lib / App / Core.** No Feature asmdefs yet (folder is empty).
- **Core sub-tree shape:** `Core/{Compatibility, Contracts, Data, Enums}` — deeply nested by Service rather than by topic. Game-specific Core types (Drawing, Coloring, Paper, Gallery, History, Progression, Signals) will be added under either `Core/Contracts//` or new top-level `Core//` — pick one convention before adding the first one.
- **Service sub-shape varies** — some are flat (`Services/Audio/*.cs`), some split (`Services/Camera/Installers/`, `Services/Camera/Service/`). The "official" per-feature shape (§4d) hasn't been validated against real code yet.
- **Installer pattern:** `MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule` with `Register(IContainerBuilder builder)`. **Not** `IInstaller.Install(...)` as older sections of this doc imply. New installers must follow `IServiceModule`.
- **No `AppBoot`** entry point exists yet. `RootLifetimeScope` only iterates a serialized `MonoBehaviour[] serviceModules` and calls `Register` on each `IServiceModule`. Boot sequence in §29 is aspirational.
- **No Persistence service.** `Libs/PlayerPrefs` (the `ProtectedPlayerPrefs` library) is in place for small-key state. JSON persistence for gallery sidecars will need a separate service when Gallery lands.
- **Camera service is a registry**, not a fitter. `ICameraService.Register/Get` only — no aspect-fit logic.
### 4c. Planned additions (not on disk yet)
All new game code follows the same nesting pattern as existing Services — `Contracts/Features//`, `Data/{Dynamic,Static}/Features//`, `Features//` — and asmdefs drop the `Darkmatter.` prefix to match `Core`, `Services.Audio`, `Libs.Observer`.
Rough landing order for ColorBook scene to be playable:
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
| `Core/Contracts/Services/Capture/ICaptureService.cs` | Capture service contract — returns PNG bytes |
| `Core/Contracts/Services/Gallery/IGalleryService.cs` | Native-gallery save shim |
| `Core/Contracts/Features/Drawing/IDrawingTemplate.cs`, `IDrawingTemplateCatalog.cs` | Drawing template contracts |
| `Core/Contracts/Features/Coloring/IColorPalette.cs` | Palette contract |
| `Core/Contracts/Features/Progression/IProgressionService.cs` | Progression contract |
| `Core/Data/Static/Features/Drawing/DrawingTemplateSO.cs` | Authored drawing data |
| `Core/Data/Static/Features/Drawing/ShapeSO.cs` | Authored shape (sprite + snap params, reusable) |
| `Core/Data/Static/Features/Coloring/ColorPaletteSO.cs` | Authored palette data |
| `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features/Drawing/ColorRegionDTO.cs` | Runtime region struct |
| `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features/Coloring/PaintCommandDTO.cs` | Runtime coloring struct |
| `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features/Signals/*.cs` (DrawingSelectedSignal, ShapeAssembledSignal, ColorAppliedSignal, PaperSavedSignal) | Cross-feature signal structs |
| `Core/Enums/Services/Camera/CameraType.cs` | Add `CaptureCamera` enum value to existing file |
| `Services/Capture/` (+ `Services.Capture.asmdef`) | `RenderTextureCaptureService` drives the disabled `CaptureCamera` |
| `Services/Gallery/` (+ `Services.Gallery.asmdef`) | `NativeGallerySaveService` — wraps the native gallery plugin |
| `Features/MainMenu/` (+ `Features.MainMenu.asmdef`) | Spine mascot + Play button |
| `Features/{DrawingCatalog,ShapeBuilder,Coloring,Capture,Progression,ColorBookFlow}/` (+ asmdefs each) | Game features |
| `App/LifetimeScopes/{MainMenu,ColorBook}LifetimeScope.cs` | Per-scene scopes |
| `App/Boot/AppBoot.cs` | Bootstrap entry point |
| `Assets/Darkmatter/Scenes/{MainMenu,ColorBook}.unity` | Scenes (no ArtBook — captures go to phone Photos) |
| `Content/Gameplay/Drawings///{Template.asset, Drawing.prefab, Regions/, PaperBackground.png}` | Authored drawings — `Drawing.prefab` holds `SlotMarker`s at slot poses with `ShapeSO` refs |
| `Content/Gameplay/Shapes/*.asset` | Reusable `ShapeSO`s (one per shape; shared across drawings) |
| `Content/Gameplay/Prefabs/ShapePiece.prefab` | The single piece prefab (`ShapePieceUI` MB on root) |
| `Content/Gameplay/Palettes/*.asset` | Color palettes |
| `Content/Audio/{UI,Coloring}/` | SFX banks |
### 4d. Per-feature folder layout (matches existing Services pattern)
Look at `Services/Camera/` (`Installers/` + `Service/`) and `Services/Analytics/` (`Installers/` + `Systems/`) — that's the convention. Features adopt the same shape, adding `UI/` or `Views/` only when there's something to put in them.
```
Features/[Name]/
├── Installers/ IServiceModule — VContainer registration
├── Systems/ (or Service/) Controllers, repositories, factories (pure C#)
├── UI/ (only if the feature has Canvas UI)
│ ├── *Presenter.cs Pure C#, listens to model, drives view
│ └── *View.cs MonoBehaviour, setters only
├── Views/ (only if the feature has world-space MonoBehaviours)
└── Features..asmdef
```
Rules of thumb pulled from current Services:
- **Use `Service/` (singular)** when the feature has exactly one main implementation class (like `Services/Camera/Service/CameraService.cs`).
- **Use `Systems/` (plural)** when there are multiple pure-C# coordinators (like `Services/Analytics/Systems/`).
- **Skip nesting entirely** when the feature has only 1–2 files at root (like `Services/Audio/AudioService.cs` + `SfxPlayer.cs` flat).
- **`Docs/` is per-folder** in current code — drop a `Docs/` inside any sub-folder that needs notes, don't make a global feature-level Docs.
---
## 5. Namespaces & Asmdef naming
C# namespace pattern is `Darkmatter..[.]` — the `Darkmatter.` prefix stays on namespaces. Examples already in code:
- `Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Services.Camera` ([ICameraService.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Core/Contracts/Services/Camera/ICameraService.cs))
- `Darkmatter.Services.Camera` ([CameraService.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Services/Camera/Service/CameraService.cs))
- `Darkmatter.Services.Camera.Installers` ([CameraServiceModule.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Services/Camera/Installers/CameraServiceModule.cs))
- `Darkmatter.Libs.Installers` ([IServiceModule.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Libs/Installers/IServiceModule.cs))
**Asmdef names drop the `Darkmatter.` prefix.** Existing pattern:
| Namespace | Asmdef |
|---|---|
| `Darkmatter.Core.*` | `Core` |
| `Darkmatter.App` | `Darkmatter.App` (one exception — keep as-is, don't churn) |
| `Darkmatter.Libs.Observer` | `Libs.Observer` |
| `Darkmatter.Libs.FSM` | `Libs.FSM` |
| `Darkmatter.Libs.Installers` | `Libs.Installers` |
| `Darkmatter.Libs.PlayerPrefs` | `Libs.PlayerPrefs` (+ `Libs.PlayerPrefs.Editor`) |
| `Darkmatter.Libs.UI` | `Libs.UI` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Audio` | `Services.Audio` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Assets` | `Services.Assets` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Camera` | `Services.Camera` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Inputs` | `Services.Inputs` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Scenes` | `Services.Scenes` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Analytics` | `Services.Analytics` |
New asmdefs follow the same convention: `Services.Capture`, `Services.Gallery`, `Libs.CommandStack`, `Features.Paper`, `Features.Coloring`, etc.
---
## 6. Scenes & Lifetime Scopes
Four scenes, each with its own scope. Root scope persists across all scene changes.
| Scene | Scope | Status | Contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| `Boot.unity` | `RootLifetimeScope` | ✅ exists | All Services + Libs + cross-scene singletons (`IProgressionSystem`, `IDrawingTemplateCatalog`). Persists forever. |
| `MainMenu.unity` | `MainMenuLifetimeScope` | ⚠️ planned | Spine mascot, single "Play" button. |
| `Colorbook.unity` | `ColorbookLifetimeScope` | ⚠️ planned | `ColorbookFlow` + `DrawingCatalog`. Catalog grid where the player picks a drawing. |
| `Gameplay.unity` | `GameplayLifetimeScope` | ⚠️ scene exists, scope empty | `ShapeBuilder` + `Coloring` + `History` + `Capture` (the feature wrapper) + `GameplayFlow`. The active drawing experience. |
Only `Boot.unity` and an empty `Gameplay.unity` exist today; the four scene scope classes need full implementation (only `RootLifetimeScope` is functional).
Scopes nest: `Root → (MainMenu | Colorbook | Gameplay)`. Services and cross-scene features (Progression, DrawingTemplate) resolve from the root parent. Scene scopes only register their own features.
**No in-app gallery** — captured drawings go to the phone's native Photos app via `IGalleryService`. The catalog grid in `Colorbook.unity` shows the user's progress by reading cached thumbnails from `IProgressionSystem`.
### Boot chain (planned)
No `AppBoot` class exists yet — today `RootLifetimeScope` only registers services and stops. When `AppBoot` is added (as an `IAsyncStartable` registered via `RootLifetimeScope`), it should run once, in order:
1. `IAssetProviderService.InitializeAsync()` — Addressables init.
2. `IProgressionSystem.LoadAsync()` — hydrate per-template state from PlayerPrefs.
3. `IDrawingTemplateCatalog.InitializeAsync()` — batch-load all `DrawingTemplateSO`s by Addressables label.
4. Optional: preload UI sounds, palette assets.
5. `ISceneService.LoadAsync(MainMenu)`.
Failures show a child-friendly retry screen; never crash.
---
## 7. Rendering Strategy
**Full Canvas UI.** No `SpriteRenderer`, no `Physics2D`, no offscreen `RenderTexture` for the live view. The paper, slots, pieces, and color regions are all `Image` components on a Screen-Space-Camera canvas. Standard Unity UI eventing (`IPointerDownHandler`, `IDragHandler`) handles all input.
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PaperCanvas (Screen Space - Camera, UICamera) │
│ layer: PaperUI │
│ │
│ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ PaperPanel (RectTransform, 2048×2048 ref units) │ │
│ │ ├─ BackgroundImage │ │
│ │ ├─ SlotsPanel (slot Image outlines) │ │
│ │ ├─ PiecesPanel (draggable piece Images) │ │
│ │ └─ RegionsPanel (colorable region Images) │ │
│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HUDCanvas (Screen Space - Overlay, OR separate camera) │
│ layer: HUDUI │
│ ├─ Palette panel │
│ ├─ Undo / Redo buttons │
│ ├─ Capture / Next buttons │
│ └─ Tray panel (during build phase) │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
CaptureCamera (disabled by default, one-shot Render() on capture)
orthographic, projection cloned from UICamera
cullingMask = PaperUI only
targetTexture = temp RT allocated per capture (2048×2048)
```
### Cameras
| Camera | Render mode | Culling Mask | Render Target | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `UICamera` | Screen-Space - Camera (orthographic) | `PaperUI`, `HUDUI` | Screen | Normal display each frame. |
| `CaptureCamera` | Orthographic, disabled | `PaperUI` only | temp `RenderTexture` | One-shot `Render()` invoked by `ICaptureService.CaptureAsync()`. |
`CaptureCamera` shares `UICamera`'s position, orthographic size, and clip planes so the captured frame matches what the player sees — minus the HUD because of the culling mask.
### Layers
| Layer | Used by |
|---|---|
| `PaperUI` | `PaperCanvas` and all of its children (background, slots, pieces, regions, completion FX). Visible in capture. |
| `HUDUI` | `HUDCanvas` and tray panel (palette, undo/redo, capture button, drawing catalog grid, etc.). Excluded from capture. |
| `EventSystem` | Unity's input layer — managed automatically. |
### Why full UI
| Need | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Tap-to-paint region | `Image` + `Image.alphaHitTestMinimumThreshold` + `IPointerClickHandler` | Tight alpha-based hit shape per region. No mesh / collider authoring. Tap events route through `EventSystem` natively. |
| Drag/drop shape pieces | `Image` + `IBeginDragHandler` / `IDragHandler` / `IEndDragHandler` | Standard Unity UI drag. Pointer events come in canvas-local coords already. No screen→world math anywhere. |
| Visual transition during drag → snap | `DOAnchorPos`, `DOSizeDelta`, `DOLocalRotate` | All pose is in `RectTransform` units. The "transition" is a tween over canvas-local values — no swap of render context. |
| Capture to PNG | Dedicated `CaptureCamera` with `cullingMask = PaperUI` | One `Render()` call into a temp RT. HUD physically can't appear. |
| Multi-resolution support | `CanvasScaler` on `PaperCanvas` (Scale With Screen Size) | Reference resolution `2048 × 2048`, Match = 1 (height). All `anchoredPosition` units are constant across devices. |
| HUD layout independent of paper | `HUDCanvas` (separate Canvas) | HUD scales/anchors per its own rules without affecting the paper layout. |
| Drawing catalog grid, palette, etc. | Standard UI (`GridLayoutGroup`, `ScrollRect`, `Button`) | Anchors handle aspect ratios. Async thumbnail loader. |
### Multi-resolution rule
The paper content is **canvas-unit-stable.** Author every drawing against a fixed 2048 × 2048 reference resolution. Slot positions, piece sizes, region rects, hit shapes — all expressed in `anchoredPosition` / `sizeDelta` units. `CanvasScaler` on `PaperCanvas` does the screen mapping.
`PaperPanel` is anchored center, fixed 2048×2048 (or whatever you pick for the reference). On a wider screen, `CanvasScaler` pillarboxes the panel; on a narrower screen, it letterboxes. The panel's contents never resize relative to each other.
If you want a backdrop (wood/cloth behind the paper area), it's a sibling `Image` of `PaperPanel` (still on `PaperUI` layer) sized to fill the canvas. The backdrop *is* captured into the PNG by default — set its layer to `HUDUI` if you want it excluded.
### Tradeoff vs the old RT-paper-rig design
| Concern | RT-paper-rig (old) | Canvas-only (current) |
|---|---|---|
| Paper contracts | 2 contracts + ~80 lines of math | gone (paper is just RectTransforms in scene) |
| Input pipeline | `IInputReader` → bridge → `Physics2D.OverlapPoint` | native `EventSystem` (`IPointerDownHandler` etc.) |
| Coloring hit shape | `PolygonCollider2D` from `Sprite.Editor` physics shape | `Image.alphaHitTestMinimumThreshold = 0.5f` on the region sprite |
| Per-frame render passes | 2 (ArtCamera into RT + UICamera draws RawImage) | 1 (UICamera draws everything) |
| Capture | read persistent RT | one-shot `CaptureCamera.Render()` |
| Coordinate gotchas | mismatches between screen / RT / world | none — everything is canvas-local |
If you ever need world-space effects (particle sparkles that physically explode outside the paper, free-draw brush stroke, pinch zoom on the artwork), revisit the RT approach. For the v1 tap-to-fill + drag-to-snap design, Canvas-only is correct.
---
## 8. Core Contracts
All Core types are pure data or interfaces.
### Drawing
> Contracts live in `Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Features.Drawing`; DTOs in `Darkmatter.Core.Data.Dynamic.Features.Drawing`.
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Features.Drawing;
public interface IDrawingTemplate {
string Id { get; }
string DisplayName { get; }
Sprite DefaultThumbnail { get; } // authored fallback (used when user has no captures for this template)
Sprite PaperBackground { get; }
IReadOnlyList Pieces { get; } // shapes that get spawned in the tray for this drawing
IReadOnlyList Regions { get; }
}
public readonly struct ColorRegionDTO {
public string RegionId { get; }
public Sprite Sprite { get; } // assigned to Image.sprite
public Vector2 AnchoredPosition { get; } // canvas units, relative to RegionsParent
public Vector2 SizeDelta { get; } // canvas units
public Color InitialColor { get; } // usually white
// Hit shape comes from the sprite alpha — set Image.alphaHitTestMinimumThreshold = 0.5.
// No polygon path needed; sprite import settings ("Read/Write Enabled") provide it.
}
```
### Shape authoring (`ShapeSO` + one prefab)
Shapes are authored as ScriptableObject assets via the Project Create menu (`Assets > Create > Darkmatter > Drawing > Shape`). One asset per shape — reusable across many drawings.
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Core.Data.Static.Features.Drawing;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Darkmatter/Drawing/Shape", fileName = "Shape_")]
public sealed class ShapeSO : ScriptableObject
{
[field: SerializeField] public string Id { get; private set; }
[field: SerializeField] public Sprite Sprite { get; private set; }
[field: SerializeField] public Vector2 DefaultSizeDelta { get; private set; } = new(256, 256);
[field: SerializeField] public float SnapRadius { get; private set; } = 100f;
[field: SerializeField] public float PreviewRadius { get; private set; } = 200f;
}
```
How the runtime uses it:
1. **One piece prefab.** A `ShapePiecePrefab` in `Content/Gameplay/Prefabs/` carries `Image` + `ShapePieceUI`. The `ShapePieceUI` MonoBehaviour has a `[SerializeField] ShapeSO _shape` field — empty on the raw prefab, filled in by the controller at spawn time (or pre-assigned in inspector for testing scenes).
2. **`SlotMarker`** lives in the drawing's per-drawing scene/prefab at the slot's authored pose. Its `[SerializeField] ShapeSO _shape` field tells which shape fits this slot. The slot's `RectTransform` (`anchoredPosition`, `sizeDelta`, `localRotation`) *is* the target snap pose.
3. **Matching is by `ShapeSO` reference equality.** Piece P matches slot S iff `P._shape == S._shape`. No string-id lookups at runtime.
4. **Identity follows the asset.** Whenever `_shape` changes (inspector edit or runtime assign), `ShapePieceUI` re-applies `_shape.Sprite` to its `Image`, sets `RectTransform.sizeDelta = _shape.DefaultSizeDelta`, and exposes `PieceId => _shape.Id`. Done via `OnValidate` (editor) + `Awake` (runtime) + an explicit `Assign(ShapeSO)` method (controller-driven).
> Optional future editor tool: a wizard window for bulk-creating `ShapeSO`s from a folder of sprites — sets `Id` from filename, assigns sprite, applies sensible default radii. For v1, the plain Create-Asset-Menu is enough.
### Coloring
> Contracts in `Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Features.Coloring`; DTOs in `Darkmatter.Core.Data.Dynamic.Features.Coloring`.
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Features.Coloring;
public interface IColorPalette {
string Id { get; }
IReadOnlyList Colors { get; }
}
public readonly struct PaintCommandDTO {
public string RegionId { get; }
public Color FromColor { get; }
public Color ToColor { get; }
}
```
### Scene composition (no Paper feature)
The paper area is just a `PaperPanel` GameObject in the `ColorBook.unity` scene with child `RectTransform`s for slots, pieces, and regions. There is **no `IPaperSurface` contract** and no Paper feature. Features that need to parent UI under one of these roots read them from a small `ColorBookSceneRefs : MonoBehaviour` that the scene scope registers as a singleton:
```csharp
public sealed class ColorBookSceneRefs : MonoBehaviour {
[SerializeField] public RectTransform PaperRoot;
[SerializeField] public RectTransform SlotsParent;
[SerializeField] public RectTransform PiecesParent;
[SerializeField] public RectTransform RegionsParent;
[SerializeField] public Camera CaptureCamera; // disabled, used by ICaptureService
[SerializeField] public RectTransform HudRoot;
[SerializeField] public RectTransform TrayPanel;
}
```
Registered once via `ColorBookLifetimeScope`:
```csharp
builder.RegisterInstance(_sceneRefs);
```
Features inject `ColorBookSceneRefs` directly and read the rects they need. This keeps the scene refs visible in the inspector while avoiding a one-feature wrapper that adds nothing.
### History
> Contracts in `Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Features.History`.
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Features.History;
public interface ICommand {
void Execute();
void Undo();
}
public interface IUndoStack {
bool CanUndo { get; }
bool CanRedo { get; }
void Push(ICommand cmd); // executes + appends
void Undo();
void Redo();
void Clear();
}
```
### Capture & Gallery
Two separate, independent services. **Capture** produces PNG bytes. **Gallery** writes those bytes into the device's native photo library. Neither service knows about the other; the orchestration lives in the Capture feature.
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Services.Capture;
public interface ICaptureService {
// Renders the disabled CaptureCamera into a temp RT, ReadPixels into a Texture2D,
// encodes PNG, releases the RT. Returns the encoded bytes.
UniTask CaptureAsync();
}
namespace Darkmatter.Core.Contracts.Services.Gallery;
public interface IGalleryService {
// Saves the given PNG bytes into the device's native photo library
// under the given album. Native plugin handles platform permissions.
UniTask SaveToDeviceAsync(byte[] png, string albumName = "Color Book");
}
```
- `ICaptureService` owns the `CaptureCamera` reference (a disabled `Camera` in the ColorBook scene). The camera's `cullingMask` is set to `PaperUI` so the HUD physically cannot appear in the PNG. Paper background is just an `Image` on `PaperUI` — no compositing pass.
- `IGalleryService` is a **thin shim over a native gallery plugin** (NativeGallery, NativeShare, or a custom plugin). It does **not** save thumbnails, does **not** maintain a file list, does **not** delete entries. Everything in the device library is owned by the OS.
- There is no `SavedArtworkDTO`, no sidecar JSON, no in-app gallery file system. The user views their drawings in the phone's Photos app.
### Signals

## 9. Feature Responsibilities
### `MainMenu`
- Lives in `MainMenu.unity`. Single primary action: **Play** (→ `ColorBook` scene). There is no in-app gallery viewer — captured drawings live in the phone's Photos app.
- Hosts a **Spine character mascot** (via `SkeletonGraphic` for Canvas). Authored animations include idle loop, wave, react-to-button, victory dance.
- `MenuMascotPresenter` (pure C#) drives the mascot from code: subscribes to Play-button hover / click events and the model's idle timer, calls `IMenuMascotView.Play(animName, loop)`.
- View is setter-only. Spine-Unity's `SkeletonGraphic.AnimationState.SetAnimation(track, name, loop)` is encapsulated behind `IMenuMascotView`.
- Mascot's skeleton + atlas ship via Addressables (see §10).
### `DrawingCatalog`
- Loads the catalog manifest (list of available template IDs).
- Presents a scrollable grid of thumbnails (Canvas), one per template.
- Each cell shows `IDrawingTemplate.DefaultThumbnail` (the authored fallback sprite). The user's captured drawings live in the phone's Photos app, not in the catalog grid.
- On select → fires `DrawingSelectedSignal(templateId)` and unloads the catalog UI.
### `ShapeBuilder`
- Listens to `DrawingSelectedSignal` (raised by the Colorbook scene before scene change; resume reads `LastOpenedTemplateId` in Gameplay scope startup).
- Loads the per-drawing prefab via `IDrawingTemplateCatalog`, instantiates it under `GameplaySceneRefs.PaperRoot`. The prefab carries the `SlotMarker`s at their authored poses.
- Spawns one **`ShapePiece` MonoBehaviour** per `ShapeSO` in the template via `Instantiate(piecePrefab, tray)` and calls `piece.Setup(shape, slot, cfg, sfx, bus, trayPos, preSnapped)`. If `progress.Phase == ShapeBuilding`, pieces in `progress.SnappedPieces` are pre-snapped (start locked).
- `ShapePiece` is a single MB handling all three behaviors inline: drag (Unity UI `IBeginDrag / IDrag / IEndDrag`), reactive preview lerp when within `cfg.PreviewRadius`, snap (PrimeTween — `Tween.UIAnchoredPosition` / `UISizeDelta` / `LocalRotation`) on release inside `cfg.SnapRadius`, otherwise tween back to tray. No FSM, no factory — just the MB.
- Publishes `PieceSnappedSignal(pieceId)` on lock. Controller counts against expected; fires `ShapeAssembledSignal(templateId)` when all locked.
### `Coloring`
- Listens to `ShapeAssembledSignal`.
- Spawns one UI `Image` per `ColorRegionDTO` under `GameplaySceneRefs.RegionsParent`. Each region's `Image.alphaHitTestMinimumThreshold = 0.5f` so taps on transparent pixels pass through to the next region below.
- Each region has `IPointerClickHandler`. On click → `ColoringController.PaintRegion(view)`.
- Listens to palette selection (current color held in `ColoringStateRepository`).
- Controller builds `PaintRegionCommand(regionId, oldColor, newColor)` and pushes to `IUndoStack`. Command sets `Image.color` on Execute/Undo.
- Publishes `ColorAppliedSignal` for SFX / sparkle effects.
- **Resume:** if `progress.RegionColors` is non-empty, spawned regions are initialized with those saved colors instead of `region.InitialColor`.
- **Autosave hook:** after each `PaintRegion`, debounces 500 ms then calls `GameplayFlowController.AutosaveAsync` so the colors hit disk without thumbnail re-render. See §13.
### `History`
- Owns the scoped `IUndoStack` for the current Gameplay session.
- Cleared on Gameplay scope startup (new drawing = fresh history).
- Capped at 20 entries.
- UI: two big arrow buttons; disabled state when `CanUndo` / `CanRedo` is false.
### `Capture`
- Wraps `ICaptureService.CaptureAsync()` (one-shot `CaptureCamera.Render()` into a temp RT, ReadPixels, EncodeToPNG). Returns raw PNG bytes.
- The **Capture feature does NOT decide what to do with the bytes** — `GameplayFlowController` calls it, then routes to gallery + thumbnail cache depending on the trigger. See §13.
### `Progression`
- Single source of truth for per-template user state. Implements `IProgressionSystem`, persists `DrawingProgress` records via `Libs.PlayerPrefs` (single JSON blob under `PlayerPrefsKeys.Progression`).
- Internally stores thumbnails per template as PNG files in `Application.persistentDataPath/thumbs/{safeId}.png` (large blobs don't belong in PlayerPrefs).
- `ProgressionRepository` does the IO; `ProgressionSystem` keeps an in-memory cache and exposes a clean API.
- Exposes: `GetProgress(id)`, `SaveProgressAsync(progress)`, `SaveProgressAsync(progress, png)`, `ClearProgressAsync(id)`, `IsCompleted(id)`, `CompletedTemplateIds`, `LastOpenedTemplateId / SetLastOpened`, `GetCachedThumbnailAsync(id)`.
- See §13 for the full save matrix.
### `ColorbookFlow` (in `Colorbook.unity`)
- The orchestrator for the catalog scene.
- On scope start: calls `_drawingCatalog.InitializeAsync()` to populate the visible-IDs list.
- Subscribes to `DrawingSelectedSignal`: `_progression.SetLastOpened(id)` + `_scenes.LoadAsync(Gameplay)`.
### `GameplayFlow` (in `Gameplay.unity`)
- The orchestrator for the active drawing scene.
- On scope start: reads `_progression.LastOpenedTemplateId`, fetches its `DrawingProgress`, enters either Building (no progress / Phase==ShapeBuilding) or Coloring (Phase==Coloring) state.
- Handles all save points (§13): Back button, ShapeAssembled transition, Save button, Next button, app lifecycle pause/quit.
- Uses `Libs.FSM` (StateMachine) for `Building` ↔ `Coloring` runtime states.
---
## 10. Addressables Strategy
Mirror the Bus Game pattern via `IAssetProviderService`.
### What ships through Addressables
| Asset | Why |
|---|---|
| `DrawingTemplate` ScriptableObject (per drawing) | Many; load on demand. |
| `ShapeSO` assets | Reused across drawings; load once per drawing batch. |
| Region sprites | Heavy; loaded per drawing. |
| Paper backgrounds | Per template, sometimes shared. |
| Color palette SOs | Swap per theme. |
| Audio clips (tap, snap, complete, sparkle) | Shared SFX bank. |
| Spine mascot (`SkeletonDataAsset` + atlas) | Heavy textures; load with `MainMenu` scene, release on scene exit. |
### What does NOT use Addressables
- HUD prefabs (palette button, undo icon) — always loaded with scene.
- Core UI canvases.
- Boot scene assets.
- User-saved gallery PNGs — those live in `Application.persistentDataPath`.
### Group layout
```
Drawings_Animals (label: drawing, animals)
Drawings_Vehicles (label: drawing, vehicles)
Drawings_Shapes (label: drawing, shapes)
Shapes_Library (label: shape) — reusable ShapeSO assets
Palettes (label: palette)
Audio_UI (label: sfx, ui)
Audio_Coloring (label: sfx, coloring)
Spine_MainMenu (label: spine, menu) — mascot skeleton + atlas
```
### Lifecycle
- Catalog loads **thumbnail handles only** (cheap).
- On select → full template loads (pieces + regions + paper).
- On "Next" or scene exit → previous template `Release`d before next loads.
- This bound matters on toddler tablets with limited RAM.
### Remote groups (future)
Drawing packs ship as remote bundles. New theme packs (Christmas, Dinosaurs) update without an app store release.
---
## 11. Persistence
Only one in-app persistent store — small settings + progression. Captured drawings go to the device's native photo library (managed by the OS, not by the app).
### Settings + progression via `Libs.PlayerPrefs`
`ProtectedPlayerPrefs` (in `Libs/PlayerPrefs/`) is a lightweight encrypted-string wrapper around Unity's `PlayerPrefs`. Used for:
- Completed template IDs (JSON-encoded list).
- Last opened drawing.
- Audio volume, simple toggles.
A higher-level `IProgressionService` reads/writes these keys; consumers never touch `PlayerPrefs` directly.
### Native photo library (gallery)
Captured PNGs go to the phone's Photos app via `IGalleryService.SaveToDeviceAsync(bytes, albumName)`. The app does **not**:
- Write `.png` files to `persistentDataPath`.
- Generate or store thumbnails locally.
- Maintain any sidecar JSON / index.
- Provide list / load / delete operations.
The user opens the phone's Photos app to view, share, or delete their drawings. iOS / Android handle permissions and album organization.
---
## 12. Capture Pipeline
A dedicated `CaptureCamera` lives in the ColorBook scene, disabled by default. It renders only the `PaperUI` layer into a temp `RenderTexture` when capture fires. The PNG bytes are then handed to the native gallery plugin — no local file IO.
```
[Save button or Next button]
│
▼
CaptureController.SaveAsync(templateId)
│
▼
ICaptureService.CaptureAsync()
│
├─ rt = RenderTexture.GetTemporary(2048, 2048, 0, ARGB32)
├─ _captureCam.targetTexture = rt
├─ _captureCam.Render() (one-shot; cullingMask = PaperUI only)
├─ _captureCam.targetTexture = null
├─ prev = RenderTexture.active
├─ RenderTexture.active = rt
├─ tex = new Texture2D(2048, 2048, RGBA32, false)
├─ tex.ReadPixels(full rect, 0, 0); tex.Apply()
├─ RenderTexture.active = prev
├─ RenderTexture.ReleaseTemporary(rt)
├─ bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG() (on worker via UniTask.RunOnThreadPool)
├─ Object.Destroy(tex)
└─ return bytes
▼
EventBus.Publish(new PaperCapturedSignal(templateId))
│
▼
IGalleryService.SaveToDeviceAsync(bytes, "Color Book")
│
├─ native plugin handles platform permissions
├─ writes PNG into the device's Photos album
└─ (no return — fire and forget; throws on failure)
▼
EventBus.Publish(new PaperSavedSignal(templateId))
```
Notes:
- HUD never appears in capture because `CaptureCamera.cullingMask` excludes `HUDUI`. Layer mask, not coincidence — even if you accidentally parent a HUD element under `PaperPanel`, putting it on the wrong layer keeps it out.
- Paper background is just an `Image` on `PaperUI`. Already in the right layer; no special compositing.
- Saved PNGs are 2048×2048 on every device. `CaptureCamera` has fixed `orthographicSize` and aspect, independent of screen size.
- `CaptureAsync` is safe to call repeatedly. The CaptureCamera's transform / projection are set once at scene start and never modified.
- The temp RT is allocated via `RenderTexture.GetTemporary` so successive captures don't leak GPU memory.
- `IGalleryService` and `ICaptureService` are independent — `IGalleryService` knows nothing about the camera; `ICaptureService` knows nothing about the native plugin. The chain is the `CaptureController`'s sole responsibility.
---
## 12b. Save System
Everything the user does that affects their drawing state must end up persisted. `GameplayFlowController` is the **single owner** of all save calls — feature controllers expose getters; the flow controller assembles the `DrawingProgress` record and hands it to `IProgressionSystem`.
### What is saved
| Field on `DrawingProgress` | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `templateId` | Which drawing this record is about |
| `phase` | `ShapeBuilding` or `Coloring` — where to resume |
| `snappedPieces` | Pieces locked into slots (relevant in ShapeBuilding) |
| `regionColors` | Per-region color (relevant in Coloring) |
| `hasThumbnail` | Whether a thumbnail PNG exists on disk for catalog display |
| `hasBeenCompleted` | Flipped true on first Next; never flips back |
| `completionCount` | Number of times Next was pressed (optional stats) |
| `updatedUtcIso` / `firstCompletedUtcIso` | Timestamps (ISO 8601 strings for JsonUtility) |
### Save matrix
| Trigger | Phase saved | Snapped pieces | Region colors | Thumbnail? | Native gallery? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **ShapeAssembledSignal** (Building → Coloring transition) | `Coloring` | all | empty | **yes** (bare-assembled paper) | no |
| **Each paint** (debounced 500 ms) | `Coloring` | all | current | no | no |
| **Save button** | `Coloring` | all | current | **yes** | **yes** |
| **Next button** | `Coloring` | all | current | **yes** | **yes** |
| **Back button (during Building)** | `ShapeBuilding` | current | empty | no | no |
| **Back button (during Coloring)** | `Coloring` | all | current | **yes** | no |
| **OnApplicationPause(true) / OnApplicationQuit** | current phase | current | current | no | no |
Two design principles drive the matrix:
- **Thumbnail capture is expensive** (render + ReadPixels + PNG encode). Skip it on partial-assembly saves and per-paint autosaves. Only generate a thumbnail when the user takes an explicit save-style action.
- **Defensive saves never block UX.** App pause/quit saves whatever is in memory without capturing — fast path, no awaitable IO holding up shutdown.
### `Next` adds two extras
- Flips `hasBeenCompleted = true` (preserves first `firstCompletedUtcIso`); increments `completionCount`.
- Plays completion animation, then calls `AdvanceToNextDrawing` → `Catalog.NextUnseen(currentId)` → reload Gameplay scope for the new drawing.
### Storage layout
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| `DrawingProgress` records + `lastOpened` | One JSON blob in `ProtectedPlayerPrefs[PlayerPrefsKeys.Progression]` (see `ProgressionRootDto`) |
| Thumbnail PNGs | `Application.persistentDataPath/thumbs/{safeId}.png` (one file per template that has a thumbnail) |
`safeId` replaces `/` and `\` with `_` so `animals/elephant` becomes `animals_elephant.png`.
### Resume / load decision
On Gameplay scope startup:
```csharp
var id = _progression.LastOpenedTemplateId;
var progress = _progression.GetProgress(id); // null if untouched
if (progress == null || progress.Value.phase == DrawingPhase.ShapeBuilding) {
fsm.Go(Building); // spawn pieces in tray, pre-snap any in progress.snappedPieces
} else {
fsm.Go(Coloring); // skip ShapeBuilder; auto-snap pieces; spawn regions with progress.regionColors
}
```
### Catalog cells reflect saves automatically
The Colorbook scene reloads on Back. Its presenter calls `_progression.GetCachedThumbnailAsync(id)` per cell → returns the most recent save's PNG. Drawings the user touched display their progress; untouched drawings fall back to `IDrawingTemplate.DefaultThumbnail`. No live-update plumbing needed — re-entry is the refresh.
### Files touching the save system
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
| `Core/Contracts/Features/Progression/IProgressionSystem.cs` | Contract |
| `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features/Progression/DrawingProgress.cs` | The struct |
| `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features/Progression/ProgressionRootDto.cs` | JSON root (records + lastOpened) |
| `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features/Progression/RegionColorEntry.cs` | Flattened color entry (JsonUtility-friendly) |
| `Core/Enums/Features/Progression/DrawingPhase.cs` | Phase enum |
| `Features/Progression/Systems/ProgressionSystem.cs` | In-memory cache + write serialization (SemaphoreSlim) |
| `Features/Progression/Systems/ProgressionRepository.cs` | PlayerPrefs JSON + thumbnail file IO |
| `Features/Progression/Installers/ProgressionFeatureModule.cs` | Registers `IProgressionSystem` as Singleton in Root scope |
### Single rule
> Only `GameplayFlowController` calls `_progression.SaveProgressAsync(...)`. Feature controllers expose getters; they never touch the tracker themselves. This means there is exactly one place to audit when save behavior changes.
---
## 13. Communication Rules
| Use case | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Load template, return result | Direct DI call (`IDrawingTemplateCatalog.LoadAsync`). |
| Capture → save chain | Direct DI calls, sequenced. |
| Notify HUD that a region was painted | `IEventBus` signal. |
| Notify Progression that a drawing was completed | `IEventBus` signal. |
| Tell ColorBookFlow that pieces are assembled | `IEventBus` signal. |
| Tell Coloring which color is currently selected | Direct DI on `ColoringStateRepository`. |
**Never** use signals for request/response. If you need a return value or guaranteed single handler, define a Core interface.
---
## 14. UI (MVP — Passive View)
Identical to Bus Game.
- **Model** — controller / repository, fires C# events.
- **View** — `MonoBehaviour`, only setters (`SetColors(IReadOnlyList)`).
- **Presenter** — pure C#, subscribes to model events, calls view setters.
### Inspector bridge
For palette icons, undo buttons, region prefabs:
```csharp
[SerializeField, RequireInterface(typeof(IColorButtonView))]
private MonoBehaviour[] _colorButtons;
```
---
## 15. Toddler UX Constraints
These shape several design decisions and are **non-negotiable**:
- **No fail states.** Drawings cannot be "wrong".
- **No timers.** Nothing decays or runs out.
- **No tiny hitboxes.** Drag tolerance ≥ 40 canvas units; snap radius ≥ 80 canvas units for shape pieces. (Canvas reference resolution is 2048×2048 — these are anchored-position deltas, not screen px.)
- **Auto-snap on near-miss.** If a piece is dropped within `1.5 × SnapRadius`, snap anyway and play a happy sound.
- **No text-heavy UI.** Icons everywhere. Single-word labels max.
- **Loud, immediate feedback.** Every tap plays a sound; every fill bursts a small particle effect.
- **Undo cap = 20.** Toddlers will mash undo. Bound the memory.
- **Long-press = quick menu off.** Avoid surprise modals.
---
## 16. Testing
| Layer | Test type | Location |
|---|---|---|
| `Libs/CommandStack` | EditMode unit tests | `Libs/CommandStack/Tests/` |
| `Core` DTOs | EditMode | rarely needed; mostly type-only checks. |
| `Services/Gallery` | EditMode w/ temp directory | mocks `Application.persistentDataPath`. |
| `Services/Capture` | PlayMode | requires a Camera in the test scene. |
| `Features/*/Systems` | EditMode w/ DI test container | inject fakes for `IUndoStack`, signals captured by a fake `IEventBus`. |
| Full flow | PlayMode smoke test | one drawing → assemble → color → capture → assert gallery has 1 file. |
---
## 17. "Where do I put this?" Checklist
1. **Is it a cross-assembly interface / enum / DTO?** → `Core/`
2. **Is it a generic, sellable utility?** → `Libs/`
3. **Is it infrastructure (input, audio, file IO, addressables, capture)?** → `Services/`
4. **Is it gameplay logic specific to coloring books?** → `Features/`
5. **Is it composition / scene wiring?** → `App/`
When in doubt, ask: *would deleting this feature break Core?* If yes, the dependency is wrong.
---
## 18. Open Questions / Future Work
- **Pencil/brush mode** — currently the design is tap-to-fill regions. A free-draw brush mode would need a `BrushStrokeCommand` and a dynamic texture per region; out of scope for v1.
- **Multi-child profiles** — single-profile for v1; multi-profile would slot in behind `IProgressionService` and `IGalleryService` keyed by `profileId`.
- **Cloud sync** — gallery sync would happen behind `IGalleryService` (decorator pattern); local-first stays the source of truth.
- **Sticker / decoration layer** — additive sprite layer above coloring, also `ICommand`-driven so it integrates with undo/redo cleanly.

## 19. Quick Reference — Feature ↔ Signal Map
| Feature | Subscribes to | Publishes |
|---|---|---|
| `MainMenu` | — | — (Play tap loads a scene directly) |
| `DrawingCatalog` | — | `DrawingSelectedSignal` |

## 20. Assembly Definition Map
Every Lib / Service / Feature is its own `.asmdef`. The `Darkmatter.` prefix is **only** on the App asmdef; everything else uses bare `.` names. References follow the layer rules.
### On disk today
| Asmdef | Path | References |
|---|---|---|
| `Darkmatter.App` | `App/` | All Services, Libs, Core (Features when they land) |
| `Core` | `Core/` | (none — `UniTask` allowed in async signatures) |
| `Libs.FSM` | `Libs/FSM/` | `Core` |
| `Libs.Installers` | `Libs/Installers/` | (VContainer only) |
| `Libs.Observer` | `Libs/Observer/` | `Core` |
| `Libs.PlayerPrefs` | `Libs/PlayerPrefs/Runtime/` | (standalone) |
| `Libs.PlayerPrefs.Editor` | `Libs/PlayerPrefs/Editor/` | `Libs.PlayerPrefs` |
| `Libs.UI` | `Libs/UI/` | `Core` |
| `Services.Analytics` | `Services/Analytics/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Services.Assets` | `Services/Assets/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Services.Audio` | `Services/Audio/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Services.Camera` | `Services/Camera/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Services.Inputs` | `Services/Inputs/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Services.Scenes` | `Services/Scenes/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
### Planned (not on disk yet)
| Asmdef | Path | References |
|---|---|---|
| `Services.Capture` | `Services/Capture/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Services.Gallery` | `Services/Gallery/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Features.MainMenu` | `Features/MainMenu/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Features.DrawingCatalog` | `Features/DrawingCatalog/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Features.ShapeBuilder` | `Features/ShapeBuilder/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Features.Coloring` | `Features/Coloring/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Features.Capture` | `Features/Capture/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers` |
| `Features.Progression` | `Features/Progression/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers`, `Libs.PlayerPrefs` |
| `Features.ColorBookFlow` | `Features/ColorBookFlow/` | `Core`, `Libs.Installers`, `Libs.FSM` |
> `Libs.CommandStack`, `Features.ArtBook`, and `Features.Paper` were previously planned but cut. Undo lives inside `Features.History` (already on disk). Art-book is removed because captures save to phone Photos. Paper is just RectTransforms in the scene — no contract needed. `ICommand` / `IUndoStack` live in `Core`, so `Features.Coloring` reaches the undo stack without referencing `Features.History`.
**Hard rules:**
- No Service asmdef references any Feature asmdef.
- No Feature asmdef references another Feature asmdef.
- All Services and Features depend on `Libs.Installers` so they can implement `IServiceModule`.
- The compiler enforces this — if a `using` won't resolve, the dependency is wrong.
---
## 21. LifetimeScope Concrete Sample
All scopes use the same pattern: a serialized `MonoBehaviour[]` list of `IServiceModule` installers. Each installer is a MonoBehaviour on a child GameObject of the scope. Scope iterates and calls `Register`. **No hardcoded registrations in the scope itself.** This is exactly what [RootLifetimeScope.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/App/LifetimeScopes/RootLifetimeScope.cs) already does today.
### `RootLifetimeScope` (Boot scene, persists forever) — actual code
```csharp
using Darkmatter.Libs.Installers;
using UnityEngine;
using VContainer;
using VContainer.Unity;
public class RootLifetimeScope : LifetimeScope {
[SerializeField] private MonoBehaviour[] serviceModules;
protected override void Configure(IContainerBuilder builder) {
foreach (var module in serviceModules) {
if (module is IServiceModule serviceModule)
serviceModule.Register(builder);
}
}
}
```
The inspector lists the installer MonoBehaviours in `serviceModules[]`. Drag the children of the Boot scope GameObject (e.g. `AudioServiceModule`, `CameraServiceModule`, `InputServiceModule`, `AssetProviderServiceModule`, `AnalyticsServiceModule`, `SceneServiceModule`) into that slot. Each is a `MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule`.
### `ColorBookLifetimeScope` (per-scene, child of Root) — same pattern
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.App.LifetimeScopes;
public sealed class ColorBookLifetimeScope : LifetimeScope {
[SerializeField] private MonoBehaviour[] sceneModules;
protected override void Configure(IContainerBuilder builder) {
foreach (var module in sceneModules) {
if (module is IServiceModule serviceModule)
serviceModule.Register(builder);
}
}
}
```
Drag the scene's installer MonoBehaviours into `sceneModules[]`:
- `DrawingCatalogModule`
- `ShapeBuilderModule`
- `ColoringModule`
- `HistoryModule`
- `CaptureModule`
- `ProgressionModule`
- `ColorBookFlowModule`
Each registers its own classes via `IServiceModule.Register(IContainerBuilder)`.
> If a scope needs a non-installer reference (e.g. a `ColorBookSceneRefs` MB holding camera + roots), expose it as a separate `[SerializeField]` and `builder.RegisterInstance(...)` it inside the scope's `Configure`. Don't put scene refs inside an installer — keep installers stateless across scenes.
---
## 22. Installer Pattern — Concrete Coloring Sample
Mirrors the existing [CameraServiceModule.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Services/Camera/Installers/CameraServiceModule.cs) and [InputServiceModule.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Services/Inputs/Installers/InputServiceModule.cs) — a `MonoBehaviour` implementing `IServiceModule.Register`.
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Features.Coloring.Installers;
public sealed class ColoringModule : MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule {
[SerializeField] private ColoringConfig _config;
public void Register(IContainerBuilder builder) {
builder.RegisterInstance(_config);
builder.Register(Lifetime.Scoped).AsSelf();
builder.Register(Lifetime.Scoped)
.As()
.AsSelf();
builder.Register(Lifetime.Scoped).AsSelf();
builder.RegisterEntryPoint();
}
}
```
Convention:
- One `IServiceModule` per feature, named `Module` (matches `CameraServiceModule`, `InputServiceModule`, `AnalyticsServiceModule` already in the project).
- `MonoBehaviour` lives on a GameObject under the scope's hierarchy; dragged into the scope's `serviceModules[]` / `sceneModules[]` inspector list.
- Method name is `Register`, not `Install`. There is **no `IInstaller`** in this project — uses `IServiceModule` from [Libs.Installers](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Libs/Installers/IServiceModule.cs).
- Registers only its own types. Never touches another feature's types.
- If the installer needs to wire scene-bound MonoBehaviours into DI, expose them as `[SerializeField]` fields on the installer itself and `builder.RegisterInstance(_foo)` them. `ColorBookSceneRefs` (§32.13) is registered this way directly from the scope's serialized field.
---
## 23. Command Pattern — `PaintRegionCommand`
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Features.Coloring.Commands;
internal sealed class PaintRegionCommand : ICommand {
private readonly ColorRegionView _view;
private readonly Color _fromColor;
private readonly Color _toColor;
private readonly IEventBus _bus;
public PaintRegionCommand(ColorRegionView view, Color from, Color to, IEventBus bus) {
_view = view;
_fromColor = from;
_toColor = to;
_bus = bus;
}
public void Execute() {
_view.SetColor(_toColor);
_bus.Publish(new ColorAppliedSignal(_view.RegionId, _toColor));
}
public void Undo() {
_view.SetColor(_fromColor);
_bus.Publish(new ColorAppliedSignal(_view.RegionId, _fromColor));
}
}
```
Usage in controller:
```csharp
public void PaintRegion(ColorRegionView view) {
var current = _state.CurrentColor;
if (view.Color == current) return; // no-op
var cmd = new PaintRegionCommand(view, view.Color, current, _bus);
_undoStack.Push(cmd); // Push executes + records
}
```
Same pattern applies to `SnapPieceCommand` if shape-builder steps should be undoable (optional for v1).
---
## 24. CommandStack — `Libs/CommandStack`
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Lib.CommandStack;
public sealed class BoundedUndoStack : IUndoStack {
private readonly Deque _undo = new();
private readonly Stack _redo = new();
private readonly int _capacity;
public BoundedUndoStack(int capacity = 20) => _capacity = capacity;
public bool CanUndo => _undo.Count > 0;
public bool CanRedo => _redo.Count > 0;
public void Push(ICommand cmd) {
cmd.Execute();
_undo.AddLast(cmd);
if (_undo.Count > _capacity) _undo.RemoveFirst();
_redo.Clear();
}
public void Undo() {
if (!CanUndo) return;
var cmd = _undo.Last;
_undo.RemoveLast();
cmd.Undo();
_redo.Push(cmd);
}
public void Redo() {
if (!CanRedo) return;
var cmd = _redo.Pop();
cmd.Execute();
_undo.AddLast(cmd);
}
public void Clear() {
_undo.Clear();
_redo.Clear();
}
}
```
`Deque` keeps the oldest entry cheap to evict when the cap fires.
---
## 25. View / Presenter Pair — Color Palette
### View (MonoBehaviour, setters only)
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Features.Coloring.UI;
public sealed class ColorPaletteView : MonoBehaviour, IColorPaletteView {
[SerializeField, RequireInterface(typeof(IColorButtonView))]
private MonoBehaviour[] _buttonsRaw;
private IColorButtonView[] _buttons;
public event Action OnColorButtonClicked;
private void Awake() {
_buttons = _buttonsRaw.Cast().ToArray();
for (var i = 0; i < _buttons.Length; i++) {
var idx = i;
_buttons[i].OnClicked += () => OnColorButtonClicked?.Invoke(idx);
}
}
public void SetColors(IReadOnlyList colors) {

_buttons[i].SetVisible(i < colors.Count);
for (var i = 0; i < colors.Count; i++)
_buttons[i].SetColor(colors[i]);
}
public void SetSelected(int index) {
for (var i = 0; i < _buttons.Length; i++)
_buttons[i].SetSelected(i == index);
}
}
```
### Presenter (pure C#)
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Features.Coloring.UI;
public sealed class ColorPalettePresenter : IStartable, IDisposable {
private readonly IColorPaletteView _view;
private readonly ColoringStateRepository _state;
public ColorPalettePresenter(IColorPaletteView view, ColoringStateRepository state) {
_view = view;
_state = state;
}
public void Start() {
_view.SetColors(_state.Palette.Colors);
_view.SetSelected(_state.SelectedIndex);
_view.OnColorButtonClicked += OnClicked;
_state.SelectedIndexChanged += OnIndexChanged;
}
private void OnClicked(int index) => _state.SelectColor(index);
private void OnIndexChanged(int index) => _view.SetSelected(index);
public void Dispose() {
_view.OnColorButtonClicked -= OnClicked;
_state.SelectedIndexChanged -= OnIndexChanged;
}
}
```
Same shape repeats for every feature's UI.

## 26. ShapeBuilder — Snap Algorithm
All math is in canvas-local space — `anchoredPosition`, `sizeDelta`, `localRotation`. No world coords. Behavior lives inline in `ShapePiece : MonoBehaviour` — no FSM, no factory, no state classes. Three behaviors expressed across three Unity drag handlers.
### `OnDrag` — reactive preview lerp
```csharp
public void OnDrag(PointerEventData e)
{
if (_locked) return;
var pointerLocal = ScreenToLocal(e.position) + _grabOffset;
var slotPos = _slot.RectTransform.anchoredPosition;
float dist = Vector2.Distance(pointerLocal, slotPos);
if (dist <= _cfg.PreviewRadius)
{
if (!_inPreview) { _inPreview = true; _sfx.Play(SfxId.ShapeHover); }
ApplyPreviewLerp(pointerLocal, dist);
}
else
{
_inPreview = false;
RectTransform.anchoredPosition = pointerLocal;
RectTransform.sizeDelta = _traySize;
RectTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity;
}
}
private void ApplyPreviewLerp(Vector2 pointerLocal, float dist)
{
float t = Mathf.Clamp01(1f - dist / _cfg.PreviewRadius);
if (_cfg.PreviewCurve != null) t = _cfg.PreviewCurve.Evaluate(t);
var slot = _slot.RectTransform;
RectTransform.anchoredPosition = Vector2.Lerp(pointerLocal, slot.anchoredPosition, t);
RectTransform.sizeDelta = Vector2.Lerp(_traySize, slot.sizeDelta, t);
RectTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(Quaternion.identity, slot.localRotation, t);
}
```
### `OnEndDrag` — snap or return
```csharp
public void OnEndDrag(PointerEventData e)
{
if (_locked) return;
float dist = Vector2.Distance(
RectTransform.anchoredPosition,
_slot.RectTransform.anchoredPosition);
if (dist <= _cfg.SnapRadius) Snap();
else ReturnToTray();
}
private void Snap()
{
Lock(); // reparent + raycast off + _locked = true
var slot = _slot.RectTransform;
Tween.UIAnchoredPosition(RectTransform, slot.anchoredPosition, _cfg.SnapDuration, Ease.OutBack);
Tween.UISizeDelta (RectTransform, slot.sizeDelta, _cfg.SnapDuration, Ease.OutBack);
Tween.LocalRotation (RectTransform, slot.localRotation, _cfg.SnapDuration, Ease.OutBack);
_sfx.Play(SfxId.ShapeSnap);
_bus.Publish(new PieceSnappedSignal(_shape.Id));
}
```
### Four things worth noting
1. **Reparent on lock** — `Lock()` calls `RectTransform.SetParent(_slot.RectTransform.parent, false)`. The piece moves from the HUD-side tray to the per-drawing slot parent so it travels with the paper and gets included in the captured PNG.
2. **Three parallel PrimeTween calls** — position, size, rotation. Tweens start together so the piece visually snaps as one motion. Zero allocations per tween.
3. **`SnapRadius` is in canvas units** (from `ShapeBuilderConfig`, e.g. 80–120), not world units. Same `CanvasScaler` reference resolution across devices = same hit feel.
4. **Preview hover sound fires once per drag**, on the boundary cross into the preview radius. `_inPreview` flag resets on `OnBeginDrag`.
### Pre-snapped resume
If the user closes the app mid-assembly (or after completing the drawing), the saved `DrawingProgress.snappedPieces` lists which pieces were locked. On resume, the controller passes `preSnapped: true` to `Setup` for those, and `ShapePiece.SnapInstantly()` puts them straight into their slots — no tween, no input. The user can keep snapping the remaining pieces.
```csharp
private void SnapInstantly()
{
Lock();
var slot = _slot.RectTransform;
RectTransform.anchoredPosition = slot.anchoredPosition;
RectTransform.sizeDelta = slot.sizeDelta;
RectTransform.localRotation = slot.localRotation;
}
```
### Spawn loop in `ShapeBuilderController.BuildAsync`
```csharp
var preSnappedIds = progress?.snappedPieces;
foreach (var (shape, idx) in template.Pieces.Select((s, i) => (s, i)))
{
var go = Instantiate(_piecePrefab, _refs.TrayPanel);
var piece = go.GetComponent();
var slot = FindSlotForShape(slots, shape);
var trayPos = _trayLayout.GetSlotPosition(idx, template.Pieces.Count);
var preSnapped = preSnappedIds != null && preSnappedIds.Contains(shape.Id);
piece.Setup(shape, slot, _cfg, _sfx, _bus, trayPos, preSnapped);
_alive.Add(piece);
}
```
Controller listens for `PieceSnappedSignal`, counts against expected piece count, fires `ShapeAssembledSignal` when complete → `GameplayFlowController` captures bare-assembled thumbnail, transitions to Coloring (see §13).
---
## 27. Rendering Order & Sorting
Canvas-only — order is sibling index inside `PaperPanel` (front-most is last in hierarchy). No URP 2D sorting layers.
`PaperPanel` children (bottom → top):
```
PaperPanel
├─ BackgroundImage (paper texture)
├─ RegionsPanel (colorable region Images)
├─ SlotsPanel (slot outline Images — under pieces so snapped pieces hide them)
├─ PiecesPanel (draggable / snapped piece Images)
└─ EffectsPanel (sparkle / particle UI for completion FX, optional)
```
`HUDCanvas` is a separate Canvas at a higher sorting order (or Screen Space - Overlay). It never sorts against `PaperCanvas` because they're different canvases.
`CaptureCamera` renders only the `PaperUI` layer. The HUD physically cannot leak into the saved PNG because of the culling mask, regardless of sibling order.
> If you ever need particles outside the canvas (e.g. confetti falling across the full screen on completion), use a separate Canvas above the HUD with its own sub-tree of UI particles. Don't add `ParticleSystem`s under PaperPanel — they don't render in UI canvases without `UIParticleSystem` or similar packages.
---
## 28. Native Gallery Integration
`IGalleryService.SaveToDeviceAsync(byte[] png, string albumName)` is the only operation. Implementations wrap a native plugin — recommended packages:
| Platform | Library |
|---|---|
| Cross-platform | [Native Gallery for Android & iOS](https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityNativeGallery) |
| iOS-only fallback | `PHPhotoLibrary` direct bindings |
| Android-only fallback | `MediaStore` direct bindings via `AndroidJavaClass` |
Permission handling:
- **iOS** — `NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription` in `Info.plist`. iOS prompts on first save.
- **Android 13+** — no permission required for writes that target a public collection via the plugin.
- **Android 11–12** — `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` declared but not requested at runtime; plugin uses scoped storage.
- **Android ≤ 10** — `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` runtime permission requested by the plugin.
`NativeGallerySaveService` (the planned concrete) catches plugin permission denials and either silently no-ops (toddler app) or surfaces a child-friendly retry prompt via the HUD.
No app-side data is persisted about saved drawings. Once `SaveToDeviceAsync` returns, the PNG is the OS's responsibility.
---
## 29. Boot & Error Handling
> **Status: not implemented.** No `AppBoot` class exists. Today, [RootLifetimeScope.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/App/LifetimeScopes/RootLifetimeScope.cs) only iterates installer MonoBehaviours and registers them — nothing runs after that. The block below is the *target* sequence when `AppBoot` is added as an `IAsyncStartable` entry point under `App/Boot/`.
```
AppBoot.StartAsync() (planned — Features/Boot/AppBoot.cs, registered via builder.RegisterEntryPoint())
├─ try Addressables.InitializeAsync()
│ fail → show "Tap to retry" splash
├─ try preload palette + UI sounds (Addressables labels)
│ fail → log + continue (non-fatal)
├─ try _persistence.LoadAsync()
│ fail → start with empty progression (don't crash)
├─ _scenes.LoadAsync("MainMenu")
└─ done
```
Toddler-mode error UI:
- One large smiling icon.
- One big "tap" button.
- No text, no error codes.
- A small upper-right gear opens a parent-only diagnostic screen (long-press 3 s to unlock).
---
## 30. Setup Checklist (new dev, day one)
1. Open `Colorbook.sln` at the repo root.
2. Verify required Unity packages are installed (check `Packages/manifest.json`): VContainer, UniTask, Addressables, Input System, URP, **Spine-Unity runtime** (`com.esotericsoftware.spine.spine-unity`) for the main-menu mascot, DOTween (for snap/return tweens).
3. Open `Assets/Darkmatter/Scenes/Boot.unity` (currently the only scene wired).
4. Inspect the `RootLifetimeScope` GameObject — confirm its `serviceModules[]` list references the child installer MonoBehaviours (`AudioServiceModule`, `CameraServiceModule`, `InputServiceModule`, etc.).
5. Hit Play from `Boot.unity`. Other scenes (`MainMenu`, `ColorBook`) don't exist yet — they're listed in §6 / §4c as planned work.
6. When new scene scopes land, the same rule applies: never start a scene mid-flow, always enter from `Boot.unity` so the root scope exists.
7. When drawings are authored: duplicate the template folder under `Content/Gameplay/Drawings///`, edit `Template.asset` (pieces + regions), add to the appropriate Addressables group.
8. Run `Tests > EditMode` and `Tests > PlayMode` before pushing (test infra not set up yet — see §16).

## 32. Class Reference (Detailed)
> **Status: target spec, mostly unimplemented.** Existing on disk: `AddressableAssetProviderService`, `AudioService` / `SfxPlayer`, `CameraService`, `SceneService`, `InputReaderSO`, `FirebaseAnalyticsSystem`, plus the History feature (`UndoStack`, `HistoryServiceModule`, `ICommand`, `IUndoStack`). Everything else (MainMenu, DrawingCatalog, ShapeBuilder, Coloring, Capture, Gallery, Progression, ColorBookFlow, AppBoot, scene scopes) is the target shape for when those classes are written. Treat this section as a contract for new code, not documentation of current state.
Canonical breakdown of every concrete class and interface. For each: **purpose**, **public surface** (signatures), **injected dependencies**, and **collaborators** (signals or interfaces it talks to).
> Convention used below
> - `// fields:` = constructor-injected dependencies
> - `// pub:` = events / signals fired
> - `// sub:` = events / signals consumed
> - All async returns are `UniTask` unless noted.
> - Folder labels follow the actual nesting pattern: `Core/Contracts/Features//`, `Core/Contracts/Services//`, `Core/Data/Dynamic/Features//`, `Features///`, `Services///`.
---
### 32.1 Core Contracts
Pure interfaces and DTOs. Zero logic.
#### `IDrawingTemplate` *(Core/Contracts/Features/Drawing — planned)*
Immutable view of a single drawing's authored data.
```csharp
public interface IDrawingTemplate {
string Id { get; } // e.g. "animals/elephant"
string DisplayName { get; } // user-facing
Sprite DefaultThumbnail { get; } // 256×256 authored fallback for the catalog grid
Sprite PaperBackground { get; } // image under all paper content
IReadOnlyList Pieces { get; } // shapes spawned in tray (reusable across drawings)
IReadOnlyList Regions { get; } // for Coloring
}
```
Implemented by `DrawingTemplateSO` (ScriptableObject) loaded via Addressables. The per-drawing slot positions live in the drawing's authored scene/prefab as `SlotMarker` MonoBehaviours, not in the template SO.
> The catalog grid always uses `DefaultThumbnail`. The user's captured drawings live in the phone's Photos app, not the catalog cell.
#### `IDrawingTemplateCatalog` *(Core/Contracts/Features/Drawing — planned)*
Authority on which drawings exist, completion state, and "next" selection.
```csharp
public interface IDrawingTemplateCatalog {
UniTask InitializeAsync(); // pulls manifest from Addressables
IReadOnlyList AllTemplateIds { get; }
UniTask GetThumbnailAsync(string id); // cheap; for grid
UniTask LoadAsync(string id); // expensive; full template
void Release(string id); // Addressables ref count down
string NextUnseen(string currentId); // progression hint
}
```
#### `IColorPalette` *(Core/Contracts/Features/Coloring — planned)*
Set of colors offered to the child. Authored as `ColorPaletteSO`.
```csharp
public interface IColorPalette {
string Id { get; }
IReadOnlyList Colors { get; } // 6–10 entries typical
}
```
#### `ICommand` & `IUndoStack` *(Core/Contracts/Features/History — planned)*
Already shown in section 8. Each undoable user action is one `ICommand`; the stack is bounded.
#### `IGalleryService` *(Core/Contracts/Services/Gallery — planned)*
Thin shim over a native gallery plugin. Saves PNG bytes into the phone's Photos app. **Does not** track files, thumbnails, or sidecar metadata — the OS owns the file once it's saved.
```csharp
public interface IGalleryService {
UniTask SaveToDeviceAsync(byte[] png, string albumName = "Color Book");
}
```
- No list / load / delete operations. The user uses the phone's Photos app for those.
- Implementation (`NativeGallerySaveService`) wraps a third-party native plugin and handles platform permission prompts.
#### `ICaptureService` *(Core/Contracts/Services/Capture — planned)*
Snapshots the paper area to a PNG blob. No arguments — implementation owns the disabled `CaptureCamera` reference.
```csharp
public interface ICaptureService {
UniTask CaptureAsync();
}
```
- Independent of `IGalleryService`. Returns raw PNG bytes; what happens next is the caller's call (save, share, discard).
#### Removed contracts
- `IPaperRig`, `IArtInputBridge`, `IPaperSurface` — paper is just RectTransforms in the scene now, exposed via `ColorBookSceneRefs`. No contract.
- `SavedArtworkDTO`, `IGalleryService.ListAsync/LoadFullAsync/LoadThumbnailAsync/DeleteAsync/GetLatestThumbnailAsync` — no app-side gallery store.
- `ArtworkCapturedSignal`, `ArtworkSavedSignal` — replaced by `PaperCapturedSignal` / `PaperSavedSignal` (templateId only, no DTO).
#### `IProgressionService` *(Core/Contracts/Features/Progression — planned)*
Tracks which templates the child has completed and what they last opened.
```csharp
public interface IProgressionService {
UniTask LoadAsync();
UniTask SaveAsync();
IReadOnlyCollection CompletedTemplateIds { get; }
string LastOpenedTemplateId { get; }
void MarkCompleted(string templateId);
void SetLastOpened(string templateId);
}
```
#### `IAssetProviderService` *(Core/Contracts/Services/Assets — ✅ exists)*
Addressables wrapper. Hides handle bookkeeping from features.
```csharp
public interface IAssetProviderService {
UniTask InitializeAsync();
UniTask LoadAsync(string address) where T : UnityEngine.Object;
UniTask> LoadByLabelAsync(string label) where T : UnityEngine.Object;
void Release(string address);
void ReleaseAll();
}
```
#### `IEventBus` *(Libs/Observer — ✅ exists; note the folder is `Observer`, not `EventBus`)*
```csharp
public interface IEventBus {
void Publish(T signal) where T : struct;
IDisposable Subscribe(Action handler) where T : struct;
}
```
Signals are structs to avoid GC. Disposable subscription so presenters can unsubscribe in `Dispose()`.
---
### 32.2 Services Layer
Concrete infrastructure. One implementation each. All singletons in `RootLifetimeScope`, registered via per-service `MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule` installers.
#### `AddressableAssetProviderService` *(Services/Assets — ✅ exists)*
Implements `IAssetProviderService`.
- **Responsibility:** Wrap `Addressables.LoadAssetAsync` and ref-count handles by address.
- **State:** `Dictionary` keyed by address.
- **Notes:** `Release(address)` decrements; `ReleaseAll()` for scene teardown. Initialization must complete before any other service may load.
#### `NativeGallerySaveService` *(Services/Gallery — planned)*
Implements `IGalleryService` as a thin wrapper around a native gallery plugin.
```csharp
// fields:
// INativeGalleryPlugin _plugin (third-party native bridge)
// IEventBus _bus (optional — for failure surfacing)
public sealed class NativeGallerySaveService : IGalleryService {
public async UniTask SaveToDeviceAsync(byte[] png, string albumName = "Color Book") {
var permission = await _plugin.RequestWritePermissionAsync();
if (permission != Permission.Granted) {
// toddler app — silently skip; or publish a failure signal for HUD retry prompt
return;
}
await _plugin.SaveImageToAlbumAsync(png, albumName, fileName: $"colorbook_{DateTime.UtcNow:yyyyMMdd_HHmmss}.png");
}
}
```
- **No file IO**, no thumbnails, no sidecars. The native plugin owns everything past the call.
- **Permission flow** runs once per session; the plugin caches the grant.
- **Failure handling**: a toddler app shouldn't crash or block on denial — silently skip and let the user keep playing.
#### `RenderTextureCaptureService` *(Services/Capture — planned)*
Implements `ICaptureService`. Drives the scene's disabled `CaptureCamera` once per capture.
```csharp
// fields:
// Camera _captureCam (scene-bound, registered via CaptureServiceModule)
// int _surfaceSize = 2048
// IPathProvider _paths (only if you want to expose paths — usually not needed here)
```
- **Steps:** `RenderTexture.GetTemporary(size, size, 0, ARGB32)` → set `_captureCam.targetTexture = rt` → `_captureCam.Render()` → `ReadPixels` into a `Texture2D` → null out the target texture → `RenderTexture.ReleaseTemporary(rt)` → `EncodeToPNG` → return bytes.
- **Threading:** PNG encode happens on `UniTask.RunOnThreadPool` to avoid hitching the main thread on tablets.
- **Camera setup:** `_captureCam` has `cullingMask = PaperUI`, `clearFlags = SolidColor` (white or paper color), `orthographicSize` and `aspect` cloned from `UICamera` once at scene start. Stays disabled — `Render()` is the only call site.
- **Sizing:** default 2048², overridable. Capped at device max texture size.
#### Persistence (no dedicated service)
There is no `IPersistenceService` / JSON file writer. `Libs/PlayerPrefs` (`ProtectedPlayerPrefs`) is the only persistent storage in the app. `IProgressionService` consumes it directly.
- **Backing store:** `PlayerPrefs` via the encrypted wrapper.
- **Keys:** namespaced strings registered in `PlayerPrefsKeyRegistry`.
- **Format per value:** JSON-encoded primitives (`ScriptableObject.CreateInstance` not needed at this layer).
- **Atomicity:** `PlayerPrefs` is already atomic per key on iOS/Android.
#### `SceneService` *(Services/Scenes — ✅ exists)*
Implements `ISceneService`. Wraps `SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync` with `UniTask` plus a fade-curtain.
```csharp
public interface ISceneService {
UniTask LoadAsync(string sceneName, LoadSceneMode mode = LoadSceneMode.Single);
UniTask UnloadAsync(string sceneName);
}
```
#### `AudioService` *(Services/Audio — ✅ exists; see also `SfxPlayer`)*
Implements `IAudioService`. Plays SFX clips loaded by address, mixes via Unity AudioMixer groups.
```csharp
public interface IAudioService {
UniTask PreloadAsync(string label); // e.g. "sfx,ui"
void PlayOneShot(string clipId, float volume = 1f);
void SetCategoryVolume(AudioCategory cat, float v01);
}
```
Holds an internal `Dictionary` populated at preload.
#### `InputReaderSO` *(Services/Inputs/Readers — ✅ exists)*
ScriptableObject wrapping the new Input System; exposes events.
```csharp
public interface IInputReader {
event Action PointerDown; // world pos
event Action PointerDrag;
event Action PointerUp;
}
```
- **Why an SO:** assignable in inspector and survives scene loads, but still resolvable via DI (`builder.RegisterInstance(_inputReader).As()`).
---
### 32.3 Libs
Generic, project-agnostic utilities.
#### `BoundedUndoStack` *(Libs/CommandStack — planned)*
Implements `IUndoStack`. Source already in section 24.
- **Capacity:** default 20.
- **Invariant:** `_redo` cleared on any new `Push`.
- **Edge cases:** `Undo`/`Redo` on empty stack is a no-op (never throws).
#### `EventBus` *(Libs/Observer — ✅ exists)*
Implements `IEventBus` with a `Dictionary` of `Action` per signal type.
- **Subscribe** returns an `IDisposable` that removes the handler on `Dispose`.
- **Publish** snapshots the invocation list before iterating (so handlers may safely unsubscribe during dispatch).
#### `StateMachine` / `IState` / `State` *(Libs/FSM — ✅ exists)*
Generic state machine. Current shape on disk uses `IState` / `State` / `StateMachine` (see [Libs/FSM/](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Libs/FSM/)). `ColorBookFlowController` (planned) will use this. The generic sketch below is the target shape if you decide to make it strongly-typed via an enum — verify against actual API before consuming.
```csharp
public sealed class Fsm where TState : struct, Enum {
public TState Current { get; }
public event Action Transitioned;
public void Bind(TState state, IFsmState handler);
public void Go(TState next); // calls Exit on old, Enter on new
}
public interface IFsmState { void Enter(); void Exit(); }
```
---
### 32.3b Feature — `MainMenu` *(planned)*
Lives in `MainMenu.unity`. Hosts the **Play** / **Art Book** entry buttons plus the **Spine character mascot**.
#### `IMenuMascotView` *(UI contract)*
Setter-only view interface. Hides Spine-Unity's API behind a tiny surface.
```csharp
public interface IMenuMascotView {
event Action AnimationComplete; // fires when a non-looping anim ends
void Play(string animName, bool loop);
void SetSkin(string skinName); // optional — character variants
}
```
#### `MenuMascotView : MonoBehaviour, IMenuMascotView` *(UI)*
Concrete view. Wraps a `SkeletonGraphic` component (Spine-Unity's Canvas-compatible renderer).
```csharp
public sealed class MenuMascotView : MonoBehaviour, IMenuMascotView {
[SerializeField] private SkeletonGraphic _skeleton; // Spine UI component
public event Action AnimationComplete;
public void Play(string animName, bool loop) {
var track = _skeleton.AnimationState.SetAnimation(0, animName, loop);
track.Complete += _ => AnimationComplete?.Invoke(animName);
}
public void SetSkin(string skinName) {
_skeleton.Skeleton.SetSkin(skinName);
_skeleton.Skeleton.SetSlotsToSetupPose();
_skeleton.AnimationState.Apply(_skeleton.Skeleton);
}
}
```
- `SkeletonGraphic` lives on a child of `MainMenuCanvas`. It's a `Graphic`, so it interacts with `CanvasRenderer` just like an `Image`.
- The Spine asset (`SkeletonDataAsset`) is loaded via Addressables, assigned at scene setup, and released on scene exit.
#### `MenuMascotPresenter` *(UI)* — `IStartable, IDisposable`
Pure C#. Subscribes to button events + idle timer, drives the view.
```csharp
// fields: IMenuMascotView _view, MainMenuModel _model, IInputReader _input
public sealed class MenuMascotPresenter : IStartable, IDisposable {
public void Start() {
_view.Play("idle", loop: true);
_model.PlayButtonHovered += () => _view.Play("hover_play", loop: false);
_model.PlayButtonPressed += () => _view.Play("wave", loop: false);
_view.AnimationComplete += OnAnimationComplete;
}
private void OnAnimationComplete(string anim) {
if (anim != "idle") _view.Play("idle", loop: true); // always return to idle
}
}
```
- Mascot reactions are pure presenter logic — the view never decides what to play.
- If you want randomized idle variants, add an idle timer in the model + a list of clip names.
#### `MainMenuModel` *(Repository)*
Holds menu state — current selected skin, fires hover/click events from button presenters.
#### `MainMenuModule : MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule` *(Installers)*
Registers the view (`RegisterInstance(_view)`), the presenter as a startable entry point, and the model.
> **Package dependency:** [Spine-Unity runtime](http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-unity) (`com.esotericsoftware.spine.spine-unity`). Add to `Packages/manifest.json`. The `SkeletonGraphic` component lives in `Spine.Unity` namespace.
---
### 32.4 Feature — `DrawingCatalog` *(planned)*
#### `DrawingCatalogController` *(Systems)*
Headless logic. Owns the list of template IDs visible in the grid.
```csharp
// fields: IDrawingTemplateCatalog _catalog, IEventBus _bus
public sealed class DrawingCatalogController : IAsyncStartable {
public IReadOnlyList VisibleIds { get; }
public event Action ListChanged;
public UniTask StartAsync(CancellationToken ct); // pulls catalog, refreshes list
public void OnTemplateSelected(string id); // bus.Publish(new DrawingSelectedSignal(id))
}
// pub: DrawingSelectedSignal
```
#### `DrawingCatalogPresenter` *(UI)*
Bridges controller ↔ view.
```csharp
// fields: IDrawingCatalogView _view, DrawingCatalogController _ctrl, IDrawingTemplateCatalog _catalog
public sealed class DrawingCatalogPresenter : IStartable, IDisposable {
public void Start(); // wires view.OnItemClicked → _ctrl.OnTemplateSelected
public void Dispose();
}
```
- **Thumbnail load:** `_catalog.GetThumbnailAsync(id)` per visible cell, with placeholder while loading.
#### `DrawingCatalogView : MonoBehaviour` *(UI)*
Implements `IDrawingCatalogView`. Pure setters + click event.
```csharp
public interface IDrawingCatalogView {
event Action OnItemClicked;
void SetItems(IReadOnlyList items); // vm = id + Sprite thumbnail
}
```
---
### 32.5 Feature — `ShapeBuilder` *(planned controller, MBs exist)*
The simplified post-FSM design. **No state machine per piece, no factory class.** Three roles: piece MB, slot MB, controller. Plus a tunables SO.
#### `ShapePiece : MonoBehaviour, IBeginDragHandler, IDragHandler, IEndDragHandler` *(UI — ✅ exists)*
The single MonoBehaviour that handles drag, reactive preview lerp, snap (PrimeTween), and return-to-tray. Spawned by the controller; `Setup` binds dependencies and starting pose.
```csharp
public sealed class ShapePiece : MonoBehaviour,
IBeginDragHandler, IDragHandler, IEndDragHandler
{
[SerializeField] private Image image;
private ShapeSO _shape; // bound by Setup
private SlotMarker _slot;
private ShapeBuilderConfig _cfg;
private ISfxPlayer _sfx;
private IEventBus _bus;
private Vector2 _trayPos;
private Vector2 _traySize;
private bool _locked;
public ShapeSO Shape => _shape;
public string PieceId => _shape != null ? _shape.Id : null;
public bool IsLocked => _locked;
public RectTransform RectTransform { get; }
public void Setup(
ShapeSO shape, SlotMarker slot, ShapeBuilderConfig cfg,
ISfxPlayer sfx, IEventBus bus,
Vector2 trayPos, bool preSnapped);
}
```
- Drag handlers run inline in this MB — no separate FSM class.
- `Snap()` is a PrimeTween triple (`Tween.UIAnchoredPosition` / `UISizeDelta` / `LocalRotation`); `SnapInstantly()` is the resume path that puts a pre-snapped piece directly into its slot pose without animation.
- `ReturnToTray()` builds a PrimeTween `Sequence` of three parallel tweens.
- See §26 for the snap algorithm walkthrough.
#### `SlotMarker : MonoBehaviour` *(UI — ✅ exists)*
Authored per drawing — designer places one in the per-drawing prefab at each slot location with the `RectTransform` set to the target pose and `_shape` field assigned to the matching `ShapeSO`. The `RectTransform` itself **is** the target pose.
```csharp
public sealed class SlotMarker : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private ShapeSO shape;
[SerializeField] private Image outline; // optional faint outline UI
public ShapeSO Shape => shape;
public string SlotId => shape != null ? shape.Id : null;
public RectTransform RectTransform => (RectTransform)transform;
public void SetOutlineVisible(bool visible);
}
```
**Matching is by `ShapeSO` reference equality** — the controller pairs each `ShapePiece.Shape` with the `SlotMarker.Shape` of the same SO asset.
#### `ShapeBuilderConfig : ScriptableObject` *(Static data — ✅ exists)*
```csharp
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Darkmatter/ShapeBuilder/Config")]
public sealed class ShapeBuilderConfig : ScriptableObject
{
public float SnapRadius; // 80–120 canvas units
public float SnapGraceMultiplier; // (currently unused — grace zone removed)
public float PreviewRadius; // ~2× SnapRadius
public float SnapDuration; // 0.25s
public float ReturnDuration; // 0.25s
public AnimationCurve PreviewCurve; // easing for the reactive lerp
public Vector2 DragSizeDelta(ShapeSO shape);
}
```
#### `ShapeBuilderController` *(Systems — planned)*
Spawns pieces for the selected template, tracks snap progress, fires `ShapeAssembledSignal` when complete. **Replaces the old `ShapePieceFactory` — spawning is now a 5-line inline loop, not a separate class.**
```csharp
// fields: IDrawingTemplateCatalog _catalog, IAssetProviderService _assets,
// GameplaySceneRefs _refs, TrayLayout _trayLayout,
// ShapeBuilderConfig _cfg, ISfxPlayer _sfx, IEventBus _bus
public sealed class ShapeBuilderController : IAsyncStartable, IDisposable
{
private readonly List _alive = new();
private GameObject _piecePrefab;
public async UniTask StartAsync(CancellationToken ct) {
_piecePrefab = await _assets.LoadAssetAsync(
"shapebuilder/piece", null, ct);
_pieceSnappedSub = _bus.Subscribe(OnPieceSnapped);
}
public IReadOnlyList Alive => _alive;
public IReadOnlyCollection GetSnappedPieceIds(); // for save records
public async UniTask BuildAsync(
IDrawingTemplate template,
IReadOnlyCollection preSnappedIds = null);
public void Reset(); // despawns all pieces; called by GameplayFlowController on Teardown
}
// sub: PieceSnappedSignal
// pub: ShapeAssembledSignal
```
- **Slot discovery:** after the per-drawing prefab is instantiated, `GetComponentsInChildren(includeInactive: true)` finds all slots. Each slot's `_shape` tells which `ShapeSO` it expects.
- **Pre-snap on resume:** if `preSnappedIds.Contains(shape.Id)`, the spawned `ShapePiece` is initialized with `preSnapped: true` → `SnapInstantly()` lands it in the slot at scope start.
- **Snapped count:** subscribes to `PieceSnappedSignal`, counts against expected, fires `ShapeAssembledSignal` when count == `template.Pieces.Count`.
#### `TrayLayout` *(Systems — planned)*
Tiny stateless helper. Given (`index`, `total`), returns the tray slot's `anchoredPosition`. Either uses a `HorizontalLayoutGroup`'s computed positions or a hand-rolled even spacing across the tray's width.
```csharp
public sealed class TrayLayout
{
[SerializeField] private RectTransform trayRect;
public Vector2 GetSlotPosition(int index, int total);
}
```
#### Removed / not needed
- **`ShapePieceFsm`** — was a per-piece state machine. Replaced by inline drag handlers + a single `_locked` bool on `ShapePiece`.
- **`ShapePieceFactory`** — was a wrapper around `Instantiate` + FSM wiring. Replaced by a 5-line inline loop in `ShapeBuilderController.BuildAsync`.
- **Five state classes** (`InTray`, `Dragging`, `Preview`, `Snapped`, `Returning`) — gone. Their behavior maps to: `_locked = false` (idle/dragging/preview all share the same handlers), `_inPreview` flag (preview boundary detection), `Snap()` method, `ReturnToTray()` method.
- **`ShapeBuilderInputBinder`** — never needed; UI handlers on the piece are sufficient.
---
### 32.6 Feature — `Coloring` *(planned)*
#### `ColoringStateRepository` *(Repository)*
In-memory model. Owns "currently selected color" and the palette in use.
```csharp
public sealed class ColoringStateRepository {
public IColorPalette Palette { get; private set; }
public int SelectedIndex { get; private set; }
public Color CurrentColor => Palette.Colors[SelectedIndex];
public event Action SelectedIndexChanged;
public void SetPalette(IColorPalette palette); // resets SelectedIndex to 0
public void SelectColor(int index);
}
```
- **Why a repository:** presenter and controller both need to read/write current color; an event-emitting POCO is simpler than wiring two signals.
#### `ColoringController` *(Systems)* — implements `IColoringController`
Builds and pushes `PaintRegionCommand` instances; spawns `ColorRegionView` per region.
```csharp
// fields: IUndoStack _undo, ColoringStateRepository _state, ColorRegionFactory _factory,
// GameplaySceneRefs _refs, IEventBus _bus
public interface IColoringController {
// Spawn regions on the paper. Pass non-null savedColors to restore colors
// from a DrawingProgress record; null = use ColorRegionDTO.InitialColor.
UniTask SpawnRegionsAsync(
IDrawingTemplate template,
IReadOnlyDictionary savedColors = null);
void PaintRegion(ColorRegionView view); // builds command, pushes to undo stack
// Snapshot current paint state for save records (see §13).
IReadOnlyDictionary GetCurrentColors();
void Clear(); // despawn all regions
}
// sub: ShapeAssembledSignal (via flow controller, not direct)
// pub: ColorAppliedSignal (via PaintRegionCommand)
```
Spawns each region as a UI `Image` under `_refs.RegionsParent`. No `Physics2D`.
**Autosave integration:** after each successful `PaintRegion`, the controller calls a debounced `GameplayFlowController.ScheduleAutosave()` so the flow can write the new color state to `IProgressionSystem` 500 ms later (no thumbnail, cheap). The flow controller cancels and resets the timer on each paint — only the last paint in a burst triggers the write.
#### `ColorRegionView : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler` *(UI)*
UI Image with alpha-based hit detection. Tap routes through Unity's EventSystem directly to `OnPointerClick`.
```csharp
public sealed class ColorRegionView : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler {
public string RegionId { get; }
public Color Color => _image.color;
public void Initialize(ColorRegionDTO dto, IColoringController controller);
public void SetColor(Color c); // setter only; no logic
public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData e) => _controller.PaintRegion(this);
}
```
- **Required sprite setup:** sprite import inspector → **Read/Write Enabled = on**, **Generate Physics Shape = off** (not needed). `Image.alphaHitTestMinimumThreshold = 0.5f` on Initialize so taps on transparent pixels pass through to the next region below.
- **Sibling order matters** for stacked regions — top sibling gets first crack at the click; with alpha hit-test, transparent areas defer correctly.
No `ColoringInputBinder` class needed. Unity's EventSystem fires `OnPointerClick` on the topmost UI element under the pointer that consumes it — exactly what we want.
#### `PaintRegionCommand` *(Commands)*
Source in section 23. Holds `view`, `fromColor`, `toColor`, `bus`. Symmetrical execute/undo.
#### `ColorPaletteView`, `ColorPalettePresenter` *(UI)*
Sources in section 25. Presenter binds `ColoringStateRepository.SelectedIndexChanged` ↔ `IColorPaletteView`.
#### `ColorRegionFactory` *(Systems)*
Mirror of `ShapePieceFactory` for regions. Pool-friendly.
---
### 32.7 Feature — `History` *(planned)*
#### `HistoryController` *(Systems)* — `IStartable, IDisposable`
Owns the per-session `IUndoStack` (registered scoped, so a new ColorBook scene = new stack).
```csharp
// fields: IUndoStack _stack, IEventBus _bus
public sealed class HistoryController : IStartable, IDisposable {
public bool CanUndo => _stack.CanUndo;
public bool CanRedo => _stack.CanRedo;
public event Action StateChanged;
public void Undo(); // _stack.Undo() + StateChanged
public void Redo();
// sub: DrawingSelectedSignal → _stack.Clear()
}
```
#### `HistoryButtonsView : MonoBehaviour` *(UI)*
Two big arrow buttons. Setters only.
```csharp
public interface IHistoryButtonsView {
event Action UndoClicked;
event Action RedoClicked;
void SetUndoEnabled(bool enabled);
void SetRedoEnabled(bool enabled);
}
```
#### `HistoryPresenter` *(UI)*
Wires controller `StateChanged` ↔ view enable/disable; view click events → controller.
---
### 32.8 Feature — `Capture` *(planned)*
#### `CaptureController` *(Systems)*
The orchestrator behind the "Save" button. Owns the capture-then-save chain. Stateless other than guarding against concurrent captures.
```csharp
// fields: ICaptureService _capture, IGalleryService _gallery, IEventBus _bus
public sealed class CaptureController {
public bool IsBusy { get; }
public UniTask SaveAsync(string templateId);
}
// pub: PaperCapturedSignal (mid-flow), PaperSavedSignal (after native save)
```
- **Flow:** `_capture.CaptureAsync()` → publish `PaperCapturedSignal` → `_gallery.SaveToDeviceAsync(bytes)` → publish `PaperSavedSignal`.
- **Concurrency:** sets `IsBusy = true` on entry; UI binds button enabled to `!IsBusy` to prevent double-tap.
- **No camera args** — `ICaptureService` owns the `CaptureCamera` reference.
- **No file-IO awareness** — `IGalleryService` handles the native plugin handoff.
#### `CaptureButtonPresenter` *(UI)*
Wires button click → `CaptureController.SaveAsync(currentTemplateId)`. Disables button while `IsBusy`. Shows a "Saved to Photos" toast on `PaperSavedSignal`.
---
### 32.9 Feature — `Progression` *(planned)*
#### `ProgressionService` *(Systems)* — implements `IProgressionService`
The only place that knows what "completed" means.
- **Persistence:** delegates to `ProtectedPlayerPrefs` (`Libs.PlayerPrefs`) under key `"progression"`.
- **Load order:** `AppBoot` calls `LoadAsync()` early.
- **Save trigger:** after `MarkCompleted`, debounced 500 ms to coalesce a burst of "Next" presses.
#### `ProgressionRepository` *(Repository)*
Pure in-memory holder used by the service. Separated so tests can inspect state without going through file IO.
---
### 32.10 Feature — `ColorBookFlow` *(planned)*
#### `ColorBookFlowController` *(Systems)* — `IStartable, IDisposable`
**The only orchestrator inside the ColorBook scene.** Drives the panel FSM: `Catalog → Building → Coloring → Done`.
```csharp
// fields:
// IEventBus _bus
// IDrawingTemplateCatalog _catalog
// ShapeBuilderController _builder
// IColoringController _coloring
// CaptureController _capture
// IProgressionService _progression
// ColorBookSceneRefs _refs (panel roots to enable/disable)
// Fsm _fsm
```
- **State table:**
| State | On enter | Triggers exit |
|------------|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| `Catalog` | Show catalog panel | `DrawingSelectedSignal` |
| `Building` | `_builder.BuildAsync(id)` | `ShapeAssembledSignal` |
| `Coloring` | `_coloring.SpawnRegionsAsync(template)` | "Next" or "Capture" pressed |
| `Done` | Run autosave capture, mark completed, `Go(Catalog)` for next | always advances |
- **"Next" sequence:** `_capture.CaptureCurrentAsync` → `_progression.MarkCompleted` → `_catalog.Release(current)` → `_catalog.LoadAsync(_catalog.NextUnseen(current))` → re-enter `Building`.
---
### 32.12 App Layer
#### `AppBoot` *(App/Boot — planned; folder doesn't exist yet)* — `IAsyncStartable`
Single entry point. Steps in section 29.
```csharp
// fields: IAssetProviderService _assets, IProgressionService _progress,
// IAudioService _audio, ISceneService _scenes, BootConfig _cfg
public sealed class AppBoot : IAsyncStartable {
public UniTask StartAsync(CancellationToken ct);
}
```
#### LifetimeScopes
- `RootLifetimeScope` — ✅ exists ([source](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/App/LifetimeScopes/RootLifetimeScope.cs)). Iterates a serialized `MonoBehaviour[] serviceModules` and calls `Register` on each `IServiceModule`. Persists for app lifetime.
- `MainMenuLifetimeScope` — planned. Same pattern as Root (serialized installer list, no hardcoded registrations).
- `ColorBookLifetimeScope` — planned. Same pattern; installer list includes feature installers + the flow controller installer. Also has a `[SerializeField] ColorBookSceneRefs _sceneRefs;` and registers it via `builder.RegisterInstance(_sceneRefs)`.
All scope classes are thin: a serialized installer-MonoBehaviour list (+ optional scene refs as separate fields) and a `Configure(IContainerBuilder)` that iterates and calls `Register`.
---
### 32.13 Cross-cutting types
#### `ColorBookSceneRefs : MonoBehaviour` *(App — planned)*
The single source of scene-bound Unity references for the ColorBook scene. Registered in `ColorBookLifetimeScope` via `builder.RegisterInstance(_sceneRefs)` so features don't `Find` things.
```csharp
public sealed class ColorBookSceneRefs : MonoBehaviour {
public RectTransform PaperRoot;
public RectTransform SlotsParent;
public RectTransform PiecesParent;
public RectTransform RegionsParent;
public RectTransform HudRoot;
public RectTransform TrayPanel;
public Camera CaptureCamera; // disabled — used by ICaptureService
public ColorPaletteView PaletteView; // optional inline ref
public HistoryButtonsView HistoryButtons;
}
```
Replaces the dropped `IPaperSurface` contract — features that need a paper-area RectTransform read it off this MB.
#### `IServiceModule` *(Libs/Installers — ✅ exists)*
```csharp
public interface IServiceModule {
void Register(IContainerBuilder builder);
}
```
Implemented as `MonoBehaviour` per feature/service so scopes can drag them in the inspector ([CameraServiceModule.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/Services/Camera/Installers/CameraServiceModule.cs) shows the pattern). The method is `Register`, not `Install` — there is no `IInstaller` in this project.
