Maze Escapers

Game Engine: Unity 5

Platform: PC

Scripting Language: UnityScript

Maze Escapers is my second school project to learn about 3D game development. It is a 3D local multiplayer game made with a partner. The game is made in 2 months. Maze Escapers require players to cooperate as they fight through enemies and solve puzzles to escape into safety. The controls of the game allow both the keyboard and controllers. I am mainly the programmer for the game.

Scope of Work:

Puzzle design and its functionality
Door animation and its functionality.
Enemy spawning system.
Camera setting up.
Shotgun firing functionality.
In-game UI

Programming

Pseudo code for Light Puzzle

//Generate Sequence Script

//At start-up, find all 6 cylinders of the puzzle with the light, put them in arrays and set the color of the light to black (which "offs" the light).

//Rearrange the sequence with SequenceGenerator() function and set other variables.

//Wait for player interaction with the box.

//Once the player touches the box, it checks for the tag, whether it has collided recently and its lockdown mode (will explain later).

//It triggers the LightUpSequence() function which reset variables to allow the sequence to restart including making Triggered true.

//In the Update function, it waits for Triggered to be true to lights up the first sequence.

//Using delayTime set by the difficulty of the puzzles in the editor reduces the time and changes to the next sequence when it reaches 0 till it reaches the end of the sequence. The light is "off" again in each change of sequence.

//Allows the player to solve the puzzle.

//The SequenceGenerator() function

//for each element in the sequence (which are integers)

//store the integer by using random from current element to end of the array.

//store the first element in a temp variable

//switch the elements with each other

//return the generatedArray which is the sequence

//In LightUp script,

//when the player collides with button, it checks whether it is the correct sequence.

//if it is correct, it lights up green and switches to next sequence.

//if it is wrong, it starts the lockdown which lights up all red until the lockdown time ends.

//the sequence is then reset with LightUpSequence() function and start playing the sequence again.

Pseudo code for Shotgun firing mode

//When the player press the fire button.
//check for the current firing mode selected by the player.
//play the Fire() function for default single projectile firing
//or else play the Blast() function for shotgun firing

//In Blast() function,
   //for the number of pellets the shotgun is supposed to fire as set in the editor.
       //instantiate a new pellet and generate a random rotation of x and y within a specified range.
       //make the pellet rotate to the rotation and add speed to it
       //destroy the object based on the range of the shotgun specified in the editor

       //using ray cast hit, check if it had hit an enemy.
       //reduce that enemies health based on the shotgun damage
       //if the enemy health reaches 0,
           //remove it from scene.
           //add an explosion prefab and increase the score of the player.
