Fruit Ninja 2 Tech Talk: Creating with data-driven components
summary
Halfbrick builds a small MVVM-like system that lets artists and designers wire UI to player data without code: DataBinding component uses reflection to target component properties (Sprite, Color, Text, SetActive) and pulls values from scriptable-config-backed data sources, updating in real time. An Animator bool param helper drives animation state. Demo shows unlocking events, timers, icons and progress populated instantly from the data array — workably simple, editor-driven, and fully functional in the demo.
