Functioneel ontwerp

In je functional design beschrijf je hoe jullie product functioneel gaat werken. Naast beschrijvende teksten maak je bijvoorbeeld ook Activity Diagram(s), 1 page designs en eventueel sheets waarin duidelijk wordt hoe dingen moeten functioneren. Zorg dat je alles zodanig omschrijft dat iedereen die het lees kan begrijpen hoe de game werkt.

Game Flow Overview

1. Match-3 Phase (Preparation)

• The player has XX seconds to make matches.

• Matching tiles grants attack moves, energy, or buffs.

• Once the timer ends, the earned moves are locked in.
