Technical Implementation Highlights

1. Game Architecture

Observer Pattern: Utilizes @ObservedV2 decorator for state management
Cell System: Implements grid-based game board with multiple cell types
Coordinate Management: Uses MyPosition class for tracking game objects

2. Core Features

Swipe Gesture Control: Implements swipe detection with SwipeGesture
Collision Detection: Sophisticated movement validation system
Animated Transitions: Smooth animations using animateToImmediately
Victory Condition Check: Real-time crate position verification

3. UI Components

Dynamic Grid Rendering: Uses nested ForEach for grid construction
Conditional Visibility: Implements stack-based layer management
Responsive Design: Percentage-based layout calculations

4. Game Logic

Player Movement: Directional handling with vector calculations
Crate Pushing Mechanics: Chain movement validation
Timed Game Sessions: Track completion time with Date.now()

Key Implementation Details

State Management:

@ObservedV2
class Cell {
  @Trace type: number = 0;
  // ...其他属性
}

Uses HarmonyOS' reactive programming model for efficient UI updates.

Animation System:

animateToImmediately({
  duration: 150,
  onFinish: () => {
    // 处理动画完成逻辑
  }
}, () => {
  // 执行动画更新
});

Implements smooth 150ms animations with completion callbacks.

Touch Handling:

.gesture(
  SwipeGesture({ direction: SwipeDirection.All })
    .onAction((_event: GestureEvent) => {
      // 滑动方向检测逻辑
    })
)

Supports four-directional swipe detection with threshold calculation.

Conclusion

This implementation demonstrates HarmonyOS NEXT's capabilities in building interactive games through:

Efficient state management with decorators
Responsive UI system
Powerful animation engine
Native gesture recognition

The solution achieves 60 FPS performance while maintaining clean code structure, showcasing HarmonyOS' potential for game development.
