Paddle Ball | ScriptableObject Sample Project

The Paddle Ball sample project demonstrates how ScriptableObjects can be used to create modular, scalable, testable, and designer-friendly game systems.

Designed to accompany the free e-book Create modular game architecture in Unity with ScriptableObjects, the project combines focused design pattern examples with several playable paddle and ball mini-games.

Core Features:

• ScriptableObjects as data containers
• ScriptableObject-based enums
• Delegate objects for reusable logic
• Event channels for communication between systems
• Runtime sets for tracking objects and components
• Classic, Hockey, and Foosball mini-game examples
• Educational code examples designed for clarity

Requirements

• Unity 6000.5.10f1 or newer, in a Universal Render Pipeline project. Import into the Universal 3D or 2D (URP) template.
• Required packages: Input System, 2D Sprite, Visual Effect Graph. Tools > GameSystems > Check Required Packages installs what is missing.

Supporting Guides:

• Get started with the ScriptableObjects demo
• Separate game data and logic with ScriptableObjects
• Use ScriptableObject-based enums
• Use ScriptableObjects as delegate objects
• Use ScriptableObjects as event channels
• Use a ScriptableObject-based runtime set

Getting Started:

Open the Bootloader_Scene scene to explore the examples and mini-games.
