RoleCore contributor, architecture and package design
Scope70 packages in use, team of 6, used in Idle Airport Manager
Highlights
  • 7 layers. Packages depend only on lower layers.
  • SDK domains (ads, IAP, tracking, remote config, consent, crash reporting) with swappable vendor adapters and a stub when no vendor is installed.
  • Data tables baked from Google Sheets through BGDatabase.
  • A pre-commit hook checks dependencies, cycles and READMEs.
  • About 2,000 automated tests.

Layers

A package can only depend on layers below it. The diagram shows the main packages in each layer.

SDK domains and vendor adapters

Game code uses domain interfaces. Each vendor is an adapter registered with one line. Without a vendor the domain uses a stub, so the Editor and tests run without real SDKs. Click a node for details.
