AngleTri

I decided to show my latest game even if it is far from being finished. I would say most of the basic gameplay is done, but I still have to debug some issues, which is taking me some time. Anyway, while I work on it, I wanted to show you a small preview, and when the game will be more advanced you will be able to see how much it changed!

Overview

In this game, you put triangles of different sizes (and colors) together in order to make a form. This is really similar to some puzzle game (not video game) I've played before, but I can't remember how it was called. What I want to change about it is to make it more action oriented, so that the triangles are given to you randomly and you have to place them as they come. If you don't place them correctly, you can still complete the level as there are some bombs which can destroy the triangles.

Gameplay


Gameplay of Alpha Version

The final version of the game will not allow you to choose which triangle you want (in the video) but you will be given a random one. Therefore, you might not find a suitable place for it. If it is the case, you will need to use a bomb, which can destroy it later on. You get more points if you are fast, if you don't put triangles outside of the form, and if you don't use bombs.

Reflexions

As simple as it sounds like, it really is hard to program (how to tell the computer that you filled correctly the entire form, or that you put a triangle outside of it?) But I found a solution and I only need to make it work in every situation (I have some special cases related to bombs that create bugs). My other worry is that the game doesn't give so much fun. The gameplay is quite simple in the end. I need to be extra careful for the level design, as I think it is what will really make the game entertaining or not.

I will add some other "triangles" which won't have the form of a triangle, but which will fit in. That way, it will make the game harder, and will give more gameplay value. But let's make it stable before talking about new additions! :)
