Hi All,
in the last batch of work, finally I got to implementation of 'level building' elements or 'prefabs'. In previous showcases things were a bit hardcoded. E.g. when pressed specific button, moved specific piece of wall from here to there with special piece of code. This is of course not suitable for further development.
For building levels, I need functional prefabs, so I can just place them in editor and things will automatically work. E.g. place switch here, door there, link them, so in game by pressing switch, linked door will automatically open/close. Same for operating lights, elevators, etc..
In this batch I started with some basic stuff:
- doors
- switches which can now operate doors or lights (or any element that will implement IToggleable interface, programmatically speaking )
- switches can be 2-states (on/off) for IToggleable elements or 1-state (one time actions)
- elevator
In following short animations, there's one level with doors and switches. I just walk around, not spoiling solution (even if this is easier level). Another level is showcase of 'color mixing' puzzle (this is very easy one, almost tutorial, so I can spoil I think).
RTG aka The-Ray Traced Game v0.1.3 - First 'level building' elements (prefabs)

A bit of "liminal space" from the central level in the game RTG, a sci-fi puzzle/platformer using "software ray-tracing" technology for rendering. Available for wishlists. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG/
I started works on RaTrac, engine with editor which is using software ray-tracing for rendering. Its primary goal is ability to create simple ray-traced games. It's still prototype but available for download. Here's showcase of the very first version.

Dev Flashback - Jan '22 Another flashback! In January 2022, I had majority of puzzles already done. Despite that, big amount of work was still before me (80/20 rule). In animation you can see one of later levels in the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RaTrac doesn't have many uses yet, the project is still in its infancy, but I can do some 3D ray-traced pixel art already. :P
