Question How would you approach a puzzle manager for an adventure game?

    Hi there folks,

    I'm trying to build a little point and click adventure. But I am not sure how to do this in a clever way.
    My solution so far would be a couple of If-Statements:

    if a==1 && b ==1 open the door
    If c==1 || d==1 do this

    maybe encased in an IEnumerator.

    Does someone has a better idea to translate a dependency chart into code?

    Think in less of terms of a puzzle 'manager' and just design specific components to accomplish specific puzzles.

    Once you notice a pattern or have repeat mechanics you can start to generalise them.

    No need for coroutines either. You only have to check when the player clicks something interactable.
