Inspiration
We like outer space, we like ghosts, and we like pong. So why not add them all together?
What it does
Our game allows players to play a game of pong against a space ghost using hand gestures.
How we built it
We used Maya to design some graphic objects in the scene and Unity to handle the game physics and the 3D modeling. Scripts for the game logic were written in C# and we used Leap Motion to capture hand gestures.
Challenges we ran into
We struggled with collision detection and momentum preservation problems in Unity's physics engine. Unity assets also made GitHub collaboration really challenging with messy merge conflicts.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made a functioning game with cool graphics and we tried out hardware!
What we learned
We picked up C# and developed a game using Unity for the first time. We also had fun learning how to interact with Leap Motion and the struggles we had with these technologies were worthwhile.
What's next for Ghost Pong
Integration with Oculus Rift as well as more advanced customization features.
