The Canvas view is Nitrode's original project management interface with three core values:
- Visualization of topological relationships: Display all game objects and their interaction logic in the form of node relationship diagram, which is more intuitive than the traditional hierarchical view.
- global search locator (GLL)Semantic search (e.g., "find all objects that triggered the door opening event") is supported, which is 40% more efficient than filename search.
- Real-time dependency analysis: When modifying any asset, highlight the other components affected to avoid chaining errors.
In teamwork, Canvas views enable members to:
- Color coding to distinguish the modules that different members are responsible for
- View modification history and current lock status
- Add annotated sticky notes for asynchronous communication
- One-click generation of architecture documents for progress reporting
Empirical data shows that team communication costs are reduced by 351 TP3T with Canvas views, which is especially suitable for small development groups of 3-5 people.
