# Color Book — Architecture Guide
A toddler-targeted (ages 26) 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 **hybrid Sprites + Canvas** 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
```
App launch
└─ Boot scene (RootLifetimeScope)
└─ MainMenu scene
├─ Press "Play" → ColorBook scene
│ ├─ Drawing catalog (grid of templates)
│ ├─ Select drawing
│ ├─ Shape Builder panel (drag pieces → snap to slots)
│ ├─ ↓ on assembly complete
│ ├─ Color panel (tap color → tap region)
│ ├─ Undo / Redo any time
│ ├─ "Capture" → save to Gallery with paper background
│ └─ "Next" → auto-save + load next drawing
└─ Press "Art Book" → ArtBook scene (gallery viewer)
├─ Grid of saved artworks
├─ View / share / delete
└─ Save to device camera roll
```
---
## 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.

### Per-feature folder layout
Every feature follows the same internal shape:
```
Features/[Name]/
├── Installers/ IInstaller — VContainer registrations
├── Systems/ Controllers, services (pure C#)
├── Repository/ In-memory state holders
├── Commands/ ICommand implementations (if feature mutates undoable state)
├── UI/

## 5. Namespaces
`Darkmatter.[Layer].[Module]`
- `Darkmatter.Features.Coloring`
- `Darkmatter.Features.ShapeBuilder`
- `Darkmatter.Services.Gallery`
- `Darkmatter.Services.Capture`
- `Darkmatter.Core.Drawing`
- `Darkmatter.Lib.CommandStack`
Each maps 1:1 to a `.asmdef`.
---
## 6. Scenes & Lifetime Scopes
| Scene | Scope | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| `Boot.unity` | `RootLifetimeScope` | All Services + `IEventBus`. Persists forever. |
| `MainMenu.unity` | `MainMenuLifetimeScope` | Menu presenter, art book entry. |
| `ColorBook.unity` | `ColorBookLifetimeScope` | DrawingCatalog, ShapeBuilder, Coloring, History, Capture, ColorBookFlow. |
| `ArtBook.unity` | `ArtBookLifetimeScope` | Gallery presenter, viewer, share. |
Scopes nest: `Root → (MainMenu | ColorBook | ArtBook)`. Services resolved from the root parent. Scene scopes only register their own features.
### Boot chain
`AppBoot` runs once, in order:
1. Initialize `IAssetProviderService` (Addressables init).
2. Preload essential bundles (palettes, UI sounds).
3. Load `IProgressionService` from disk.
4. Load `MainMenu` scene.
Failures show a child-friendly retry screen; never crash.
---
## 7. Rendering Strategy
Hybrid: **Sprites for artwork, Canvas for HUD**.
### Cameras
| Camera | Type | Culling Mask | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ArtCamera` | Orthographic | `Artwork`, `PaperBackground` | Renders the drawing only. Source for capture. |
| `UICamera` | Overlay (or screen-space) | `UI` | HUD canvas, palette, buttons. |
### Layers
| Layer | Used by |
|---|---|
| `Artwork` | Drawing region sprites, shape pieces, paper bg |
| `UI` | All Canvas elements |
| `Effects` | Particle bursts, sparkles on completion |
### Why hybrid
| Need | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Per-region tap-to-fill | Sprites + `PolygonCollider2D` | Clean `Physics2D.OverlapPoint`; deterministic; no shader work for the toddler region count (520). |
| Drag/drop shape pieces | Sprites + Physics2D | Natural world bounds, easy snap distance checks. |
| Capture to PNG with paper bg | Sprites under dedicated Camera | `RenderTexture` from `ArtCamera` excludes HUD automatically. |
| Color palette, buttons | Canvas | Anchors handle aspect ratios. Buttons + ScrollRect free. |
| Drawing catalog grid | Canvas | `GridLayoutGroup` + ScrollRect, async thumbnail loader. |
---

## 9. Feature Responsibilities
### `DrawingCatalog`
- Loads the catalog manifest (list of available template IDs + thumbnail addresses).
- Presents a scrollable grid of thumbnails (Canvas).
- On select → fires `DrawingSelectedSignal(templateId)` and unloads the catalog UI.
### `ShapeBuilder`
- Listens to `DrawingSelectedSignal`.
- Loads template via `IDrawingTemplateLoader`, instantiates shape pieces at random off-slot positions.
- Per piece: drag with `ShapePieceView` (sprite + collider). On drop, check distance to `SlotPosition` against `SnapRadius`; if within, snap and lock.
- Fires `ShapeAssembledSignal` when all pieces locked.
### `Coloring`
- Listens to `ShapeAssembledSignal`.
- Spawns one `ColorRegionView` per `ColorRegionDTO` (sprite + polygon collider on Artwork layer).
- Listens to palette selection (current color held in `ColoringStateRepository`).
- On region tap: builds `PaintRegionCommand(regionId, oldColor, newColor)`, pushes to `IUndoStack`.
- Command sets `SpriteRenderer.color` on undo/redo.
- Fires `ColorAppliedSignal` for SFX / sparkle effects.
### `History`
- Owns the singleton `IUndoStack` for the current ColorBook session.
- Cleared on `DrawingSelectedSignal` (new drawing = fresh history).
- Capped at ~20 entries (memory + cognitive simplicity).
- UI: two big arrow buttons; disabled state when `CanUndo / CanRedo` is false.
### `Capture`
- Bound to the "Capture" button.
- Calls `ICaptureService.CaptureAsync(artCamera, template.PaperBackground)` → PNG bytes.
- Hands bytes to `IGalleryService.SaveAsync(...)`.
- Fires `ArtworkCapturedSignal` then `ArtworkSavedSignal`.
- Shows a quick "saved!" toast with a thumbnail of the new entry.
### `Progression`
- Tracks completed template IDs and the in-progress draft.
- On "Next" button: silently runs Capture pipeline (auto-save), marks current as completed, calls `IDrawingTemplateCatalog.NextUnseen()`.
- Persists JSON via `IPersistenceService`.
### `ColorBookFlow`
- The only orchestrator inside ColorBook scope.
- Subscribes to flow-relevant signals and toggles UI panels (catalog → builder → coloring).
- Coordinates "Next" sequence: `IProgressionService.MarkCompleted``ICaptureService` autosave → `IDrawingTemplateLoader.Release(currentId)` → load next.
- Built as a small FSM (`Catalog → Building → Coloring → Done`).
### `ArtBook`
- Separate scene.
- `GalleryPresenter` calls `IGalleryService.ListAsync()` → grid of thumbnails.
- Tap → fullscreen view, share-sheet button, delete.
- Saved-to-device-camera-roll uses an optional platform plugin behind `IExternalShareService` (Core contract).
---
## 10. Addressables Strategy
Mirror the Bus Game pattern via `IAssetProviderService`.
### What ships through Addressables
| Asset | Why |
|---|---|
| `DrawingTemplate` ScriptableObject (per drawing) | Many; load on demand. |
| Shape piece sprites | Only needed when active. |
| Region sprites + polygon paths | 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. |
### 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)
Palettes (label: palette)
Audio_UI (label: sfx, ui)
Audio_Coloring (label: sfx, coloring)
```
### 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
Two distinct stores, each behind its own Core contract.
### `IPersistenceService` (JSON / PlayerPrefs)
Holds:
- Completed template IDs.
- Last opened drawing.
- Audio volume, simple settings.
Path: `Application.persistentDataPath/save.json`.
### `IGalleryService` (file IO)
Holds user artworks:
```
persistentDataPath/Gallery/
├── {guid}.png full-res render (~2048×2048)
├── {guid}.thumb.png 256×256 for grid
└── {guid}.json SavedArtworkDTO sidecar
```
- Writes are atomic (`.tmp` → rename).
- `ListAsync` enumerates sidecar JSONs sorted by `CreatedUtc desc`.
- Thumbnail generation happens once at save time on a worker thread.
---
## 12. Capture Pipeline
```
[Capture button or Next button]
ICaptureService.CaptureAsync(artCamera, paperBg)
├─ Allocate RenderTexture (2048×2048, ARGB32)
├─ artCamera.targetTexture = rt
├─ Force render (artCamera.Render())
├─ ReadPixels into Texture2D
├─ Composite paperBg underneath (single shader pass or CPU blend)
├─ Encode PNG (Texture2D.EncodeToPNG)
├─ Release RT + temp texture
└─ return byte[]
IGalleryService.SaveAsync(bytes, templateId)
├─ Write .png atomically
├─ Generate + write thumbnail
├─ Write sidecar JSON
└─ return SavedArtworkDTO
EventBus.Publish(new ArtworkSavedSignal(dto))
```
Notes:
- HUD never appears in capture because `ArtCamera` only renders the `Artwork` layer.
- Paper background can either be already present in the scene (cheap) or composited at capture time (lets the same drawing be saved with different papers).
---
## 13. Communication Rules
| Use case | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Load template, return result | Direct DI call (`IDrawingTemplateLoader.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<Color>)`).
- **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 px; snap radius ≥ 60 px for shape pieces.
- **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, but for `SavedArtworkDTO` serialization, yes. |
| `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 |
|---|---|---|
| `DrawingCatalog` | — | `DrawingSelectedSignal` |
| `ShapeBuilder` | `DrawingSelectedSignal` | `ShapeAssembledSignal` |

Maintained alongside the [Darkmatter Architecture Guide](../Assets/Darkmatter_Architecture_Guide.md). Do not break the dependency arrows.
---
## 20. Assembly Definition Map
Every folder under `Code/` is its own `.asmdef`. References follow the layer rules exactly.
| Asmdef | Path | References |
|---|---|---|
| `Darkmatter.App` | `App/` | All Features, all Services, Core, Libs |
| `Darkmatter.Core` | `Core/` | (none — `UniTask` allowed in async signatures) |
| `Darkmatter.Lib.CommandStack` | `Libs/CommandStack/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Lib.EventBus` | `Libs/EventBus/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Lib.FSM` | `Libs/FSM/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Audio` | `Services/Audio/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Inputs` | `Services/Inputs/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Assets` | `Services/Assets/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Scenes` | `Services/Scenes/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Persistence` | `Services/Persistence/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Gallery` | `Services/Gallery/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Services.Capture` | `Services/Capture/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Features.MainMenu` | `Features/MainMenu/` | `Darkmatter.Core`, Libs |
| `Darkmatter.Features.DrawingCatalog` | `Features/DrawingCatalog/` | `Darkmatter.Core`, Libs |
| `Darkmatter.Features.ShapeBuilder` | `Features/ShapeBuilder/` | `Darkmatter.Core`, Libs |
| `Darkmatter.Features.Coloring` | `Features/Coloring/` | `Darkmatter.Core`, `Lib.CommandStack` |
| `Darkmatter.Features.History` | `Features/History/` | `Darkmatter.Core`, `Lib.CommandStack` |
| `Darkmatter.Features.Capture` | `Features/Capture/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Features.Progression` | `Features/Progression/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `Darkmatter.Features.ColorBookFlow` | `Features/ColorBookFlow/` | `Darkmatter.Core`, `Lib.FSM` |
| `Darkmatter.Features.ArtBook` | `Features/ArtBook/` | `Darkmatter.Core` |
**Hard rule:** No Service asmdef references any Feature asmdef. No Feature asmdef references another Feature asmdef. Compiler enforces the architecture.

## 21. LifetimeScope Concrete Sample
### `RootLifetimeScope` (Boot scene, persists forever)
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.App.LifetimeScopes;
public sealed class RootLifetimeScope : LifetimeScope {
[SerializeField] private AudioServiceConfig _audioConfig;
[SerializeField] private InputReaderSO _inputReader;
protected override void Configure(IContainerBuilder builder) {
// EventBus
builder.Register<IEventBus, EventBus>(Lifetime.Singleton);
// Services
builder.RegisterInstance(_inputReader).As<IInputReader>();
builder.Register<IAudioService, AudioService>(Lifetime.Singleton)
.WithParameter(_audioConfig);
builder.Register<IAssetProviderService, AddressableAssetProviderService>(Lifetime.Singleton);
builder.Register<ISceneService, SceneService>(Lifetime.Singleton);
builder.Register<IPersistenceService, JsonPersistenceService>(Lifetime.Singleton);
builder.Register<IGalleryService, FileGalleryService>(Lifetime.Singleton);
builder.Register<ICaptureService, RenderTextureCaptureService>(Lifetime.Singleton);
// App entry
builder.RegisterEntryPoint<AppBoot>();
}
}
```
### `ColorBookLifetimeScope` (per-scene, child of Root)
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.App.LifetimeScopes;
public sealed class ColorBookLifetimeScope : LifetimeScope {
[SerializeField] private ColorBookSceneRefs _sceneRefs; // ArtCamera, panel roots, prefabs
[SerializeField] private IInstaller[] _installers; // assigned in inspector
protected override void Configure(IContainerBuilder builder) {
builder.RegisterInstance(_sceneRefs);
// Each feature ships an IInstaller
foreach (var installer in _installers) installer.Install(builder);
// Scene-scoped orchestrator
builder.RegisterEntryPoint<ColorBookFlowController>();
}
}
```
Drag these installers in the inspector:
- `DrawingCatalogServiceModule`
- `ShapeBuilderServiceModule`
- `ColoringServiceModule`
- `HistoryServiceModule`
- `CaptureFeatureModule`
- `ProgressionServiceModule`
---
## 22. Installer Pattern — Concrete Coloring Sample
```csharp
namespace Darkmatter.Features.Coloring.Installers;
[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Darkmatter/Installers/Coloring")]
public sealed class ColoringServiceModule : ScriptableObject, IInstaller {
[SerializeField] private ColoringConfig _config;
public void Install(IContainerBuilder builder) {
builder.RegisterInstance(_config);
builder.Register<ColoringStateRepository>(Lifetime.Scoped).AsSelf();
builder.Register<ColoringController>(Lifetime.Scoped)
.As<IColoringController>()
.AsSelf();
builder.Register<ColorPalettePresenter>(Lifetime.Scoped).AsSelf();
builder.RegisterEntryPoint<ColoringInputBinder>();
}
}
```
Convention:
- One `IInstaller` per feature.
- `ScriptableObject` so it can be referenced by scene scope inspector.
- Registers only its own types. Never touches another feature's types.
---
## 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<ICommand> _undo = new();
private readonly Stack<ICommand> _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<T>` 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<int> OnColorButtonClicked;
private void Awake() {
_buttons = _buttonsRaw.Cast<IColorButtonView>().ToArray();
for (var i = 0; i < _buttons.Length; i++) {
var idx = i;
_buttons[i].OnClicked += () => OnColorButtonClicked?.Invoke(idx);
}
}
public void SetColors(IReadOnlyList<Color> colors) {
for (var i = 0; i < _buttons.Length; i++)
_buttons[i].SetVisible(i < colors.Count);
for (var i = 0; i < colors.Count; i++)

public void SetSelected(int 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
```csharp
// In ShapePieceView.OnPointerUp:
public void OnDragEnd(Vector2 worldPos) {
var slot = transform.position; // assigned target slot
var d = Vector2.Distance(worldPos, slot);
if (d <= _piece.SnapRadius) {
SnapToSlot();
} else if (d <= _piece.SnapRadius * 1.5f) {
// Toddler grace zone — snap anyway, play happy sound
SnapToSlot();
_audio.PlayOneShot(_clips.NiceTry);
} else {
ReturnToTrayAnimated();
}
}
private void SnapToSlot() {
_locked = true;
transform.DOMove(_piece.SlotPosition, 0.25f).SetEase(Ease.OutBack);
_audio.PlayOneShot(_clips.Snap);
_bus.Publish(new PieceSnappedSignal(_piece.PieceId));
}
```
Controller listens for `PieceSnappedSignal`, counts against expected piece count, fires `ShapeAssembledSignal` when complete.

## 27. Rendering Order & Sorting
URP 2D with a single `ArtCamera` ortho cam.
| Sorting Layer | Order | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| `PaperBackground` | 0 | Paper bg sprite (under everything) |
| `ArtworkRegions` | 100 | `ColorRegionView` sprites (the colorable shapes) |
| `ArtworkPieces` | 200 | `ShapePieceView` sprites (during build) |
| `Effects` | 300 | Particle bursts, sparkles |
| `UIWorld` | 400 | World-space prompts (rare; mostly Canvas) |
Canvas HUD lives on `UICamera` (Overlay), never sorts against `ArtCamera`. Capture renders only `ArtCamera`'s layers → HUD physically cannot leak into saved PNG.
---
## 28. SavedArtwork JSON Schema
```json
{
"id": "f3a8e2d4-...",
"templateId": "animals/elephant",
"createdUtc": "2026-05-26T16:42:11Z",
"imagePath": "Gallery/f3a8e2d4-....png",
"thumbnailPath": "Gallery/f3a8e2d4-....thumb.png",
"regions": [
{ "regionId": "body", "color": "#FFB347" },
{ "regionId": "ears", "color": "#FF6961" }
]
}
```
`regions[]` lets the gallery reopen an artwork for further edits in a future version (out of scope v1, but the schema reserves the field now to avoid migration later).
Paths are **relative** to `persistentDataPath`. Never store absolute paths — they change between OS updates on some platforms.

## 29. Boot & Error Handling
```
AppBoot.StartAsync()
├─ 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 `Bus Game.sln` (color book lives in same repo / Unity project per plan).
2. Verify Addressables groups exist: `Drawings_*`, `Palettes`, `Audio_*`.
3. Open `Boot.unity` → confirm `RootLifetimeScope` references the right configs.
4. Open `ColorBook.unity` → confirm `ColorBookLifetimeScope._installers[]` is fully populated.
5. Hit Play from `Boot.unity` (entry scene). Never start mid-flow — DI parent scope must exist.
6. To author a new drawing: duplicate `Animals/elephant/`, edit `Template.asset` (pieces + regions), add to the appropriate Addressables group.
7. Run `Tests > EditMode` and `Tests > PlayMode` before pushing.

## 31. Quick Reference — Class ↔ Layer ↔ Asmdef
| Class | Layer | Asmdef |
|---|---|---|
| `IDrawingTemplate`, `ShapePieceDTO`, `ColorRegionDTO` | Core | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `ICommand`, `IUndoStack` | Core | `Darkmatter.Core` |
| `BoundedUndoStack` | Libs | `Darkmatter.Lib.CommandStack` |
| `AddressableAssetProviderService` | Services | `Darkmatter.Services.Assets` |
| `FileGalleryService` | Services | `Darkmatter.Services.Gallery` |
| `RenderTextureCaptureService` | Services | `Darkmatter.Services.Capture` |
| `ColoringController`, `PaintRegionCommand` | Features | `Darkmatter.Features.Coloring` |
| `ShapeBuilderController`, `ShapePieceView` | Features | `Darkmatter.Features.ShapeBuilder` |
| `HistoryController` | Features | `Darkmatter.Features.History` |
| `ColorBookFlowController` | Features | `Darkmatter.Features.ColorBookFlow` |
| `GalleryPresenter`, `GalleryGridView` | Features | `Darkmatter.Features.ArtBook` |
| `ColorBookLifetimeScope`, `AppBoot` | App | `Darkmatter.App` |
If a class's natural home doesn't match its asmdef, the architecture is bent — fix the placement, don't add a reference.
