Connect The Dots

Connect the dots is a simple game where you must move the camera around to connect the dots in the correct order to create a pattern.

Goal

I wanted to start a game where you could move the screen around and based on where you were looking you were able to accomplish a goal.

Method

I first started by making it so the camera would follow the cursor. Then I decided on making some spheres which you would have to cycle between to make a pattern. I then created some levels to go through. Lastly, I worked on some UI issues, such as an inability to see where your center of vision was or which was the next spot that you had to look at.

Novelty

The innovation of this game was a game where you solved puzzles by looking around.

Results

I think this game worked, but has a lot of room for improvement. I like how the screen moves in relation to your mouse movements and the way the graphics look. I would have liked to add more graphical power and more complicated patterns. I would have also liked to make it so that you would have to follow lines to something that was not on screen, but was having trouble creating and keeping track of objects which were off screen. Lastly, I would have liked to make this game incorporate my original novelty, which was clicking to switch between view points, but this turned out to be more complicated to create and even harder to really incorporate into a game without putting a lot more time into the actual game play.
