Project explanation

The Space game is a unique game design in VR by using unity and C#. The models and objects designed in by using unity assets and some basic geometrical shapes. Filled up with elegant textures and colors. Placing the camera and directional lights from multiple angles gives a responsive, robust and consistent game design. The major idea behind the game design is a space craft moving here and there is space. The space is filled up with dangerous asteroids and planet volcano. The space craft is loaded with a lot of arms to use up and has ability to fire. The objects available and moving in the space are 3D models. The space craft has to destroy the asteroids and planets which are coming towards the space craft. By touching any asteroid or planet will explode the space craft and game over.

Implementation

For the implementation I use some unity assets and textures. In order to design the 3D models I use basic geometrical shapes connected with each other with different sizes and x, y and z values. Filling up the shapes with right texture results in an elegant 3D model. For the angles view I place camera at different angles and put directional lights which gives a broader view of the game surface. For game surface I used space background image which is flickering again and again giving a consistent game surface look. On the top of surface texture I put asteroids objects at random positions and planets objects at different positions with different angles. For controlling the movement is program the c# codes and track the movement of space craft and asteroids by using little math knowledge. I put play and exit button of the main menu screen in order to start the game and exit the game. I added little sound animations when space craft fires and when any collision occurs. The C# code scripts handles mouse hovering movements by simple if else conditions and handling keyboard keys in order perform the right action during game playing.

Problem faced

I faced the problem during controlling the movement of objects for example space craft, asteroids and planets. The movement is going on in all directions so I faced a little problem during coding the scripts in c#. One more problem that I faced during the development of the game is while adding camera and directional lights from different angles because the space surface that I built is very large I have to display the objects movement from all directions.

Interesting about project

The interesting thing about the project is we can control the space craft from outer or from inside the space craft. Simple key press controls open doors to use the space craft from inside. We can either roll the space craft to the left or right by using keyboard keys. These keyboard keys are programmatically controlled and transform the 3D model object movement in the specified direction with specified velocity which is calculated by using some mathematic formulas.

Future improvement

Further we add features in the game to land the space craft on different planets. We can add more objects in the space for example rockets, satellites and other 3D model objects.
