Game5: Walking Simulator

Game5 is about building a game that uses a WalkMesh to allow a player to navigate a Scene.

NOTE: The phone-bank.blend-derived scene/walkmesh assets are included for testing. If you use them in your game, please make substantial, additive changes or I will deduct up to 0.5pts.

Your goal is to start with a fork of the game5 base code and develop a new game which involves moving around a Scene using a WalkMesh.

I say "move" rather than "walk" since games that allow the player's avatar to slide, hover, roll, or otherwise move on the surface of a mesh are all okay, as long as their positions are constrained by a 2D manifold of valid positions.

What You Need To Do

• [1pt] Tell me what you are making (due by 10pm, Friday, September 30th) -- use this google form.
• [2pt] Turn in what you made (due before class, Thursday, October 6th) -- use this google form.

How To Do It

The challenge of this assignment is in finishing the implementation of the WalkMesh class and in actually building a game.

1. Fork the base5 code as a starting point.
2. Refer to the WalkMesh lesson for guidance [and debug visualizations] related to filling the in the missing walkmesh code.
3. Create a new scene and author a new walkmesh for it. (Or, at least, substantially modify the phone-bank.blend scene.)
4. Fill in the missing sections in README.md to document your project; replace screenshot.png with a screenshot of your game. (The base code is already set up to capture a screenshot whenever you press the PrintScreen key.)
5. Turn in the game using the form linked above.

The official inspirational song of game5 is "Take a Walk" by Passion Pit.
