Create Game BootScene

[jChicote]

Description

There needs to be a seperate boot scene to handle all the setup and game configuration logic. Currently they are attached to the first scene. Meaning that if we do need any of these managers in a production environment, it requires the scene UI to exist.

Acceptance

• UI menus only exist within the UI screen
• Game menus only exist within the Game screen
• Management layer along with persistent services are migrated to the boot scene
• Game initialisation is decoupled from the scene specific initialisation
• The bootstrap scene is made additive over the existing scene.
• Can be opened from any scene and the bootstrap is automatically included.

Implementation

• [x] Move Game Management layer to the boot scene
• [x] Move construction and initialisation of overall game to the boot scene
• [x] Create a bootstrap setup logic class to handle the proper initialisation and handling of the setup (This might be the GameStartupHandler
• [ ] Add validation and logic to ensure that all the required services exist
• [x] Add debug UI to validate navigations to scene from the bootstrap (Ensures that these scenes can operate with the persistent scene)

  • [x] All globals in the GameManager to determine whether the game is in 'Development' mode. (This enables specific debug features to exist during gameplay [OUTSIDE OF THE EDITOR])
  • [ ] This screen can only exist if opened from the Persistent scene.

• [x] Create a custom controller within a scene to ensure persistent services exist before gameplay.

Next work after 22nd September

• [x] Convert the UserInterfaceManager to get the active controllers of the user interfaces from the scene
• [x] Remove the UserInterfaceScreenStateManager
• [x] Modify the UserInterface manager to resolve the dependencies of each of the scene controllers after transition
• [x] Configure the Loading bar to be a global specific user interface screen

Fixes needed

• [x] The screens and implementations relying on the UserInterfaceState manager needs to be changed to use the IUserInterfaceControllers instead.

Next work after 29th September

• [x] Ensure proper validation when running from scene, mainmenu and when two debug scene support classes are active at he same time.
• [x] Remove the UserInterfaceStateManagement files
• [x] Validate the usage of the GameState manager when 'IN_DEVELOPMENT' is active.

  • I suspect that the MainMenu GameState may be active when opened from the 'Gameplay' scene
  • Some further validation may be needed
