Project: Inventory design

Learn how to design an inventory system in this project.

Inventory System Design

An inventory system allows the player to store and manage collected objects in an organized way. Before implementation, decide which information will be stored and how objects will be added or removed. In a simple system, item name, quantity, and inventory capacity can be basic requirements.

Inventory
  Items
  Add Item
  Remove Item
  Display Items

Basic Inventory Responsibilities

An inventory system can have separate responsibilities. Storing item data, accepting a new item, removing an existing item, and displaying its contents are examples. Organizing these operations into separate methods improves code readability.

StoreItemData()
AddItem()
RemoveItem()
DisplayInventory()

Exercise Create the Inventory Class Skeleton

Create a C# class named InventorySystem to represent the inventory system. Inside the class, define a public Initialize method that can be implemented later without performing any operation yet.

Show example solution

using UnityEngine;

public class InventorySystem : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void Initialize()
    {
    }
}
