DOTS Physical Force-Based Movement v2.0

Release v2.0

Release is compatible with windows 64 architecture. Input devices such as a mouse and keyboard is needed.
This version will include all features of previous versions in either the same or improved ways.

Working angular force control

Features

• Measurement direction (+ / -) will be updated as long as reset is not needed
• Once reset is needed direction will be taken from last measurement
• Same direction will used for control until reset on axis is finished
• added control speed (rotation force should be reasonably fast even if measurement difference is minimal but still in need of control) -> therefore, control speed is depending on measurement difference
  • case A: measurement difference is big -> control speed will be (close to) =1
  • case B: measurement difference is small -> control speed will be (close to) =3 (upper bound of control speed)
• Control measuring is done continuously
• Once measurement reaches a certain threshold, control force is given permission to control axis needed
• Control is directed by the difference in radiance between surface normal and player normal / up vector

First Release: Force based movement

How to test / play

Unpack release file (realease_v1.0.zip). Opening the executable 'Physics Based Movement.exe' will start the game.

Compatibility

Playable on windows x64 architecture.

Input devices needed

• Keyboard
• Mouse

Features

Physical force based movement working including:

• movement (related to camera direction)
• turning / rotation of player (on y-axis only depending on player input)
• jumping (maximum of 2 jumps possible, without touching another object)
• WIP: control force applying to player to keep entity up-right

3rd person camera view:

• Following player on an orbit with added offset around the player
• rotation of the camera will be depending on screen coordinates received by the turn input of the player
• camera holds thresholds for min (x- and y-axis) and max rotation (x-axis)
