## What it is
Unity Atoms is an open-source C# library for Unity built around Scriptable Objects, providing tiny composable 'Atoms' (variables, events, lists, functions) inspired by Ryan Hipple's Unite 2017 talk. It helps decouple game code into modular, runtime-editable, and debuggable pieces.

## Use cases
- decouple Unity game scripts from each other
- create Scriptable Object architecture for my game
- make game state editable at runtime in Unity
- replace monolithic Unity scripts with modular events and variables
- build loosely coupled game systems in Unity
- manage game events without hard dependencies between scripts

## When to choose
- you build Unity games and want a Scriptable Object architecture
- you need modular, testable, decoupled game code
- you want runtime-editable variables and event channels in Unity

## When to avoid
- you don't use Unity or its Scriptable Object workflow
- you prefer a different dependency injection or messaging framework
- your project targets Unity versions older than 2022.2
