Architecture

The game uses an event-driven architecture via GameEventManager.cs:

• OnStartGame - Initialises all systems
• OnPlayerDestroyed - Triggers game over
• OnUpdateHealthBar - Shield updates
• OnIncrementScore - Score additions
• OnRespawnPickup - Pickup respawn

Systems subscribe to events rather than holding direct references, enabling loose coupling.
