# Profile Manager Migration Guide

## Overview of Changes

The Profile Manager has been successfully migrated from a monolithic architecture to a modular screen-based system. This provides better code organization, maintainability, and extensibility.

## Key Changes

### Architecture

**Before (Monolithic)**:
- Single large `ProfileManager` class handling all screens
- Mixed UI rendering and business logic
- Complex navigation and state management
- Large render method with screen conditionals

**After (Modular)**:
- Separate screen modules for each interface
- Clean separation between UI and business logic
- Individual screen classes with focused responsibilities
- Simplified main ProfileManager class

### File Structure Changes

```
profile_manager/
├── profile_manager.py          # Simplified main manager (UPDATED)
├── profile_data.py             # Business logic (unchanged)
├── ui_components.py            # UI components (unchanged)
├── screens/                    # NEW: Modular screen system
│   ├── __init__.py            # Screen exports
│   ├── base_screen.py         # Base screen class
│   ├── screen_manager.py      # Screen management
│   ├── main_menu_screen.py    # Main menu logic
│   ├── profile_list_screen.py # Profile list logic
│   ├── create_profile_screen.py # Profile creation logic
│   ├── edit_profile_screen.py  # Settings editing logic
│   ├── leaderboard_screen.py   # Leaderboard display logic
│   ├── profile_stats_screen.py # Statistics display logic
│   ├── example_integration.py  # Integration example
│   └── README.md              # Screen system documentation
```

### Code Reduction

The main `profile_manager.py` has been reduced from:
- **~750 lines** → **~130 lines** (83% reduction)
- Complex screen handling → Simple delegation
- Mixed concerns → Clean separation

## Running the Updated Profile Manager

### Standard Usage (No Changes)
```bash
cd /home/enne2/Sviluppo/mice/profile_manager
python3 profile_manager.py
```

The user interface and functionality remain exactly the same. All existing features work identically:
- Create profiles with virtual keyboard
- Edit profile settings
- View leaderboards
- Profile statistics
- Gamepad and keyboard controls

### Verifying the Migration

1. **Test Basic Navigation**:
   - Run the profile manager
   - Navigate through all screens
   - Verify all buttons and controls work

2. **Test Profile Operations**:
   - Create a new profile
   - Edit profile settings
   - Delete profiles
   - Switch active profiles

3. **Test Advanced Features**:
   - View leaderboards (if API enabled)
   - Check profile statistics
   - Test error handling

## Benefits of the New Architecture

### 1. Maintainability
- Each screen is independently maintainable
- Bug fixes isolated to specific screen modules
- Clear code organization

### 2. Extensibility
- Easy to add new screens
- Consistent interface pattern
- Minimal changes to main manager

### 3. Testability
- Individual screen unit tests possible
- Mock dependencies easily
- Isolated functionality testing

### 4. Code Quality
- Reduced complexity in main class
- Single responsibility principle
- Better error handling

## Adding New Screens

To add a new screen (e.g., "Settings Screen"):

1. **Create screen module**:
```python
# screens/settings_screen.py
from .base_screen import BaseScreen

class SettingsScreen(BaseScreen):
    def render(self):
        # Screen rendering logic
        pass
    
    def handle_input(self, action: str) -> bool:
        # Input handling logic
        pass
```

2. **Register in screen manager**:
```python
# screens/screen_manager.py
"settings": SettingsScreen(self.data_manager, self.ui_renderer, self)
```

3. **Add navigation**:
```python
# From any screen
self.screen_manager.set_screen("settings")
```

## Backward Compatibility

The migration maintains 100% backward compatibility:
- Same user interface
- Same keyboard/gamepad controls
- Same file formats (user_profiles.json)
- Same external API integration
- Same SDL2 rendering

## Performance Impact

The modular system has minimal performance impact:
- Slightly more memory for screen objects
- Faster rendering due to delegation
- Reduced complexity in main loop
- Better error isolation

## Troubleshooting

### ImportError: screens module
If you get import errors, ensure the `screens/` directory exists and has `__init__.py`

### Screen not rendering
Check that the screen is properly registered in `ModularScreenManager._initialize_screens()`

### Navigation issues
Verify screen transitions use `self.screen_manager.set_screen("screen_name")`

## Development Workflow

### Making Changes to Screens
1. Edit the specific screen module in `screens/`
2. No changes needed to main `profile_manager.py`
3. Test the individual screen

### Adding Features
1. Determine which screen handles the feature
2. Modify only that screen module
3. Add any new dependencies to base class if needed

### Debugging
1. Enable debug mode in individual screens
2. Test screens in isolation
3. Use screen-specific error handling

The modular architecture makes the Profile Manager much more maintainable and extensible while preserving all existing functionality.
