PEAK LAYOUT

1. Problem Statement

Struggling to connect several game mechanics when a change in one component affects the entire system? You’re not alone: as the number of rules, states, and dependencies grows, the logic structure may become difficult to follow. An event from one module can activate unwanted reactions in another, while shared variables create hidden connections. A small rule adjustment may then require the review of many related scenarios. Without an architecture map, it is difficult to determine where information should be stored and which component should handle each decision.

2. Solution

This course will teach you how to divide a detailed game system into connected logic components. You will explore architecture layers, module boundaries, event channels, and data-sharing rules. The materials demonstrate how to reduce direct dependencies and document communication between mechanics. Practical assignments help you examine the effects of a change before it influences other areas of the system. By the end of the course, you will create an architecture model containing several modules connected through defined rules and data flows.

3. What’s Inside

Module 1: Game Logic Architecture

Examine game logic as a system made of separate layers and components. This module explains how to separate control rules, object states, events, data, and reactions.

Module 2: Component Boundaries

Define the responsibility of each logic component. The practical exercise asks you to divide a large mechanic into at least six separate modules.

Module 3: Communication Between Systems

Explore how components can exchange events and values without creating too many direct connections. You will prepare a table of incoming and outgoing signals for each module.

Module 4: Shared Data Rules

Study information used by several systems. You will define the source of each value, its update rules, and the components permitted to read or modify it.

Module 5: Dependency Mapping

Build a dependency map and identify components that are too closely connected. The exercise helps replace selected direct dependencies with clearly documented events and conditions.

Module 6: Change Impact Analysis

Learn how to determine which scenarios should be reviewed after a rule, state, or data structure is changed. This module contains exercises that examine the effects of changes across several connected mechanics.

Module 7: Peak Layout Architecture Project

Create an architecture map for a detailed game system. The final project includes modules, data flows, event connections, a responsibility table, and a collection of interaction-review scenarios.

4. Who Is This For?

✅ Suitable if you:

• already work with states, events, variables, and dependencies;
• want to combine several mechanics into one coordinated system;
• want to define clear responsibilities for separate components;
• would like to examine how changes affect connected rules;
• are prepared to create architecture maps and technical tables.

❌ Not for you if you:

• are beginning to study game logic;
• need a brief introduction to basic concepts;
• do not plan to work with detailed diagrams;
• expect materials centered on a named program;
• do not want to complete a final architecture project.
