Working with Mobile Games
This project stood out from all others due to being targeted towards mobile devices. While it was entertaining with something completely different, it also came with its fair share of issues such as performance, UI scaling, and playtesting in an .APK emulator.
Nonetheless, it was a fun project made together with fun people and we overcame the problems that stood in our way.
Overall I'm proud of our work, we achieved such a grade on the Project that we were allowed to upload it to the Google Playstore. Thereby immortalizing it by making it publicly available.
Collision Logic
One of the main features I made was how we detect and handle collision.
Pictured above is the Raycasting system the Player, Ghosts and Blocks use to detect walls and pushable objects. The system works by checking recursively in the direction that the player is pushing towards, seeing if any of the rays reaches a wall or a block that they can't push. This data was then returned to the player, containing if they could or couldn't push in the desired direction and what blocks they should push.
If the push was allowed, we move all the relevant pushables in that direction, and if not; we play a denied animation and make all of the pushables that led to a wall shake for a small duration.
