Monopoly

A 2D Monopoly-style board game inspired by 'Bankroll' from the Plato platform. Designed for a 2-player local multiplayer experience, this project features dice rolls, property acquisition, rent mechanics, chance events, jail system, and a full user interface with live transaction logs.

Project Summary

This project was developed for the Unity Game Developer Assignment. It replicates core Monopoly-style gameplay mechanics with a clean UI and object-oriented structure, entirely in Unity using C#.

🧱 Game Architecture Overview

This Monopoly-style board game is built in Unity 6 using C#, following clean architecture principles with design patterns like Singleton and Observer for maintainability and scalability.

📂 Main Systems Overview

1. Game Manager (Singleton)

• Controls overall game flow: turn management, dice rolling, player switching.
• Emits game events using the Observer pattern (OnTurnChanged, OnDiceRolled).
• Handles rules such as:
  • Jail turns
  • End of turn logic

2. Player

• Handles:
  • Movement logic using IEnumerator to animate player steps
  • Money adjustments (rent, rewards, buying)
  • Jail state and turns
  • Overlapping logic when two players are on the same tile
  • Owns a list of purchased properties

3. Tile System

• Tile.cs holds:
  • Tile type: Property, Start, Jail, GoToJail, Chance, etc.
  • Owner ID, cost, rent
• TileType enum defines the board logic

4. UI Manager (Singleton)

• Reacts to game events (observer) and updates:
  • Current turn indicators
  • Player info (money, property count)
  • Transaction log
  • Buy/Pass popup panel
  • Property detail panel
  • Handles user input for buying/passing properties

5. Dice System

• Animates and rolls dice via coroutine
• Communicates result back to GameManager

6. Event System (Observer Pattern)

• Allows decoupled communication between systems
• UI listens to GameManager events to update turn UI, logs, and panels

🧩 Design Patterns Used

Pattern	Used For
Singleton	GameManager, UIManager
Observer	OnTurnChanged, OnDiceRolled
Coroutine	Player movement & animations

⚙️ Key Features Implemented

• Turn-based gameplay with 2 players
• Buying and owning properties
• Paying rent (with jail exceptions)
• Jail system with 3 missed turns
• Chance tile with probabilistic reward/penalty
• Passing "Start" gives $200
• UI panels for property and player info
• Game log of actions

🧠 Future Improvements

• Property trading
• Online multiplayer or AI
• Smarter turn options
• Multilingual support
