Week 41 - VR Lab hours

 Idea

We discussed many ideas, we wanted a shooting game but decided on bowling, as it will be a better quality product than a shooting game.

There were no bowling game assets on Unity Store that were acceptable to us so we went to CGtrader and downloaded one.


Implementation

We saw a lot of tutorials on building a bowling game in VR. But we liked the tools the VRTK offers. And based out game on this tutorial.


Game

- The lane is 15 m

- The lane was rotated to 1 degree towards the Pins so it will give velocity to the ball and make the game friendlier to new players

- Usually, in bowling, the ball falls on the sides, but in our case, we decided to place borders to make it easier for the players who are not accustomed to the VR (including us :))

- When a pin falls it will disappear in 1.5 seconds

- The ball will automatically reset if it passes the pins

- There is a button to reset the pins

- There is a button to reset the ball

- You can teleport everywhere


Features not implemented

These are features that we wanted but did not manage to finish:

- Score

- Screen to show a close-up of the pins

- There is no rule that you have only two chances to get down all the pins


Bugs

Currently, if you put the ball under yourself you can go up as the game considers the ball to be the ground floor. You can continuously go up

Week 45 - VR Lab hours

 Development During the second week we were prototyping but we wee encountering a lot of bugs or stone walls, where lack of knowledge in Unity, and also lack of tutorials on our specific theme made the development a bit tough. Also the tutorials that we based our  development had some times 3 years difference and the setup for the project were different. During the last days of week we decided to change the project and take something easier. We decided to make a point shooter. Were the player will spawn in the middles of the map with some gund deffending from hordes of enemies.

Personal Reflections

 Personal reflections Dorin Chira 297125 During the semester I worked on four projects.  I enjoyed working on all four projects. On the first project I liked how easy it was to set up the project, though we did not use GitHub, that's why we had confused and could not combine the project correctly. Hadi made some awesome turrets, that could rotate and shoot and I could not integrate them into my part of the project so I used only a part of his logic, and then we had to move on to the next project. I did not like that we had no knowledge of Unity and were frustrated when we could not do simple things. The second project I liked doing not because of what it ended with, but what I discovered about AR in general. I learned how easy it is to set up. How I can easily connect to Firebase and fetch data and models to show in AR, and not oversize the app memory. The only thing I did not like in the second project is the project itself, it felt too generic for me to be proud of it. And w...
