Introduction

The Structure Service implements the Observer design pattern and creates the following functionality described below. The Structure Service is critical to the game, as it provides a uniform way of accessing all Structure objects. Furthermore, it also provides the foundation upon which map state grid is based, which allows developers to quickly determine whether a 'tile' in the grid is occupied.

Facilitates the:

• Registration of structure objects
• Return of a list of all registered entities
• Access to grid containing game state for all objects
• Disposal of registered structures
• Integration with UI display elements
• Integration with the StructureFactory to create structures
