🎯 Badge Notification System

This system adds badge notifications to UI elements in Unity, showing numbers or symbols to indicate updates.

🛠️ Setup Instructions

1️⃣ Add the BadgeManager

1. Create an empty GameObject in your scene.
2. Attach the BadgeManager script to it.
3. You can also drag and drop the badmanager prefab from the BadgeNotificationSystem folder into the scene.

2️⃣ Attach BadgeComponent to Button UI Elements

1. Add the BadgeComponent script to any UI element (e.g., buttons).
2. Set the BadgeID to match the badge type (Shop, Quests, Inbox, etc.).
3. Assign a symbol image to the image variable.

3️⃣ Initialize Badges in BadgeMappingInitializer

1. Attach BadgeMappingInitializer to a GameObject in the scene.
2. Configure child mappings in the Inspector.
3. The system will initialize badges and propagate changes automatically.

4️⃣ Trigger a Badge Update

To set a badge (e.g., shop):

BadgeManager.Instance.SetBadge(BadgeID.Shop);

To clear a badge (e.g., remove badge on shop):

BadgeManager.Instance.ClearBadge(BadgeID.Shop);

You can customize the system to support numerical notifications as well by modifying the BadgeType enum to include more types of badges.
