# 2D Dungeon Exploration Prototype (Unity 6)

A top‑down 2D dungeon exploration prototype built in **Unity 6**.  

This project demonstrates clean architecture, modular systems, dynamic 2D lighting, enemy AI, and polished player controls.  

It serves as a vertical slice showcasing animation, audio, and gameplay systems working together.

## 🎮 How to Run the Game

### Requirements

- Windows PC (64‑bit)

- No Unity installation required

### Steps

1. Open the provided **build** folder.

2. Run the executable:

   - `D-Crawler.exe` (or the name provided in the build)

3. Play the game.

4. Alt-F4 to exit

### Controls

- **WASD / Arrow Keys** — Move the player

- **SPACE** - Dash the player

- Player spotlight rotates based on movement direction

- Slimes patrol, detect, chase, and forget the player

- Torches animate and emit light

No installation or setup is required — just run the executable.

## 📌 Project Overview

This project focuses on creating a small but polished dungeon environment with:

- Player movement and directional animation

- Dynamic 2D lighting using Unity 6’s updated URP

- Enemy AI with patrol and chase states

- Atmospheric props such as animated torches

- Clean, maintainable C# architecture with XML documentation

---

## ✨ Key Features

### 🧍 Player Controller & Animation

- Rigidbody2D‑based movement using Unity 6 physics

- Smooth directional idle/move animations

- Spotlight rotation tied to facing direction

### 👾 Enemy AI (Slime)

- Circular patrol using detection radius

- Explicit state machine (Patrol → Chase → Forget → Patrol)

### 🔥 Lighting & Atmosphere

- URP 6 2D lights

- Animated torch poles with flame flicker

- Optional light flicker behavior

### 🔊 Audio System

- Looping footsteps with clean start/stop logic

- Looping Ambience when game loop starts

### 🧱 Clean Architecture

- XML `<summary>` documentation

- Modular scripts

- No Update clutter

- Explicit state transitions

## 🛠 Tools & Libraries Used

- **Unity 6**

- **Universal Render Pipeline (URP 6)**

- **2D Renderer + 2D Lights**

- **C#**

- **Aseprite / Photoshop** (for sprites)

- **Audacity** (for audio cleanup)

---

## ⚠ Known Limitations

- Enemy AI does not use pathfinding (no A\* or obstacle avoidance)

- Torch animation uses only 3 frames

- Footsteps are not surface‑based yet

- No combat system

- No save/load system

- Lighting is static (no dynamic shadows or occlusion)
