:triangular_ruler: Rube Goldberg game that challenges players to create contraptions that solve physics puzzles. Made for Oculus Rift & HTC Vive

Rube Goldberg Challenge - High Immersion Specialization

Overview

This project was a chance for me to create my first fully-functional multi-platform high-immersion VR game. The goal of this project was to create a Rube Goldberg game that challenges players to create contraptions that solve physics puzzles.

First I imported SteamVR and set up up my scene environment. Then my task was to add locomotion, grabbing physics, and a menu system. With the core components built, I then imported the Oculus SDK and created Oculus versions of my code. Lastly I used my creativity to create a number of unique objects and levels.

Some Challenges

One of my most notable challenges was preventing the player from being able to teleport outside the map.

Skills utilized

This project was about combining various ideas and skills I've been practicing throughout the course. They include:

• Adding SteamVR and the Oculus SDK to a Unity Project
• Designing gameplay for 6DOF hand controllers
• Creating teleport or similar locomotion mechanics
• Creating object grabbing and throwing code
• Creating a menu system with hand controllers and Vector2 input
• Creating seamless VR scene loading
• Designing anti-cheat mechanisms
• Integrating SteamVR and Oculus input handling in the same project
• Creating dynamic 3D objects

SDK

-SteamVR
-Oculus SDK (v1.16.0)
-Oculus Avatar SDK (v1.16.0)

Controller Scheme

rube-goldberg-challenge's Issues

We need to disable the ball

Ball must be disabled when the player in not standing on the platform. Try and see if our raycast can detect plane names. If so, only enable the ball when the teleporter button has been lifted on the platform's plane name

Teleport aimer mid air let go

For some reason, anytime we release the teleporter aimer in mid air the game crashes.

Change to !Left

Less code that we have to deal with!

Remove the following:
