  9. Game Design Use Case Diagram Describes the sequence of events a player would encounter interacting with the game from start to finish

  10. Architectural Design • Straightforward design • Eliminates difficulty in development, debugging, and allows for speedy improvements • Simple well-established ideas • Tried and true ideas for game development allow for the rapid development and deployment required in a cross-platform game with extremely tight time constraints.

  11. Architectural Design Continued System Overview Shows the relationships between game objects, interfaces, and external sources of information.

  12. Architectural Design Continued Class Diagram Specifies the structure of how the game will be written, and how it will function, by showing its classes and associated attributes.

  13. Architectural Design Continued Sequence Diagram An interaction diagram that shows how processes operate with one another and in what order.
