Woah! Two posts in two days?!? ...Somehow, yes. All kidding aside, I've been working hard on the game, perfecting the building system in every way I can. It's now ready enough that quickly and accurately building large structures is not only possible, but super fun! You can build fortresses, trap enemies, and more! Techy Stuff: While building was possible before yesterday, there was one major problem: You could only rotate blocks flat or facing away from you. (In other words like this: __ and like this: | -- Sorry if that doesn't make any sense! I currently don't have any visual aids at the moment.) On the player's left hand, if they touch the touchpad, a little radial menu shows up with three directions: Up, Left and Right. (The "Up" direction puts the block flat, making it useful for floors and ceilings.) For the left and right directions I just kept adding 90 degrees to the Y quaternion, in hopes of just having it turn 90 degrees each time, but this wasn't working. I ended up writing two methods, as shown below: This worked exactly as I had hoped. Now all I gotta do is add sound effects, stylize the cursor a bit more and it should look pretty great!
Thanks for reading! - Judah
