Elephant Trail

Inspiration

I was inspired by a variety of other "lemming" style platformer puzzle games.

What it does

This game gives the ability to place wooden creates at the cursor with a left mouse click. The elephants will manuever through the level using the placed crates to exit the level. The game will automatically progress from the 1st level to the second level if all elephants are rescued. The game will automatically quit after all elephants are rescued on the second level. There is currently no support for failing a level.

How I built it

I used Unity V5

Challenges I ran into

I spent 8 hours working on the code to make the elephants turn around when encountering an obstacle. I finally settled on use of raycasting. Methods using colliders and navmeshes did not work.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of this project as a whole, this project offered a deep learning experience for me and made me more comfortable with the basics of C#.

What I learned

I learned that there are many ways to tackle a problem and some ways are much easier than othes.

What's next for Elephant Trail

I will continue o develop Elephant Trail during MCA weekly meetings.
