SDK API Overview

The MCE SDK provides a clean, stable public API surface for interacting with the engine from your game code. All SDK interfaces live in the OpenMon.MCE.SDK namespace.

Design Principles

• Interface-based: All public APIs are exposed as interfaces, not concrete classes. This allows the implementation to evolve without breaking your code.
• Read-heavy: Most SDK methods are read-only queries. Mutations happen through the engine's internal systems (CommandGraph, Inspector, etc.).
• Event-driven: Key state changes are communicated through C# events.
• Zenject-injected: Access SDK interfaces via [Inject] attribute.

Entry Point

The main entry point is IMonsterCaptureEngine:

[Inject] private IMonsterCaptureEngine engine;

From this interface, you access all subsystems:

Property	Interface	Purpose
engine.Database	IMonsterDatabase	Query monsters, moves, items, types
engine.Battle	IBattleSystem	Battle state and events
engine.Player	IPlayerData	Player roster, money, name, badges
engine.SaveSystem	ISaveSystem	Save/load operations
engine.Version	string	Engine version string

Quick Example

using OpenMon.MCE.SDK;
using Zenject;

public class GameDashboard : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Inject] private IMonsterCaptureEngine engine;

    private void Start()
    {
        // Query database
        var allMonsters = engine.Database.GetAllMonsters();
        Debug.Log($"Database has {allMonsters.Count} monster species");

        // Check player state
        Debug.Log($"Player: {engine.Player.PlayerName}");
        Debug.Log($"Team size: {engine.Player.PlayerRoster.Count}");
        Debug.Log($"Money: {engine.Player.Money}");
        Debug.Log($"Badges: {engine.Player.BadgeCount}");

        // Listen to battle events
        engine.Battle.OnBattleStarted += () => Debug.Log("Battle!");
        engine.Battle.OnBattleEnded += (won) => Debug.Log($"Won: {won}");

        // Save/load
        if (engine.SaveSystem.HasSaveData(0))
            Debug.Log("Save slot 0 has data");
    }
}

See the individual API pages for detailed documentation of each interface.
