Final Game #3: Friction Resistance, Momentum and Local Platforms

Friction Resistance:
In my game, I have included some sloped platforms which are affected by a friction resistance. Friction is a force which resists the movement of an object. A force is added to my player's velocity which is calculated by the Cross Product between normal of surface, and the downwards Vector.

Momentum:
In my game, I have included a series of bouncing spherical objects which can lose momentum over time. In the animated clip, you can see a red object slowing down and losing momentum over time, before stopping completely.

Local Friction on Harmonic Motion Platforms
In my game, I was keen to add a feature to allow the player to be able to jump onto a harmonic motion platform, and allow them to move freely on it. 

The game has been programmed, so the player becomes a parent object of any harmonic motion platform. This means the player can keep the movement and velocity going, but means the player is restricted to moving on a harmonic motion platform.

Week 7 Practical

For our week 5 practical, I needed to create a scene with buoyancy enabled on a water based object, following a lecture based on elastic collision and buoyancy. Buoyancy: Buoyancy is an upwards reactive force applied to liquids which counteracts the weight of an object. Gravity is pushing an object downwards (based on the mass), and the density of a liquid is pushing the object upwards. Elastic Collisions: Elastic collisions means that the collision of multiple objects are not affected by momentum (amount of motion on an object) or kinetic energy loss (loss of energy on a moving object). My Scene: In the scene, a bullet spawns on a key-press from the orange cannon. The bullet becomes affected by buoyancy, based on a random mass and volume. My Scripts: Properties Dynamic Objects Shooting

Final Game #4: Conclusion

The final game that I have produced is called Gravity Shift . The game is a 2D Platformer Game revolving around changing gravity. The player will progress through levels, avoiding obstacles to reach a checkpoint, while using the gravity switching mechanic to help. In my final game, I have included common features of platformer games, such as lives, coins, moving platforms and triggers. Introduction: I chose to produce a 2D Platform game, because I enjoy playing that genre of games, and felt I would have fun producing this. I took inspiration from games such as Super Mario Bros and Sonic the Hedgehog for concepts such as harmonic motion platforms, coin pickup, lives/hearts, and end of the level. What went well: In my game, I feel that I have been able to demonstrate a range of different physics mechanics demonstrated in class, along with another physics mechanic which was not demonstrated in class. In total, I feel that I have demonstrated ten concepts in total: Distance...
