Rat Maze project for Cabrillo CIS35 Class

Team Members:

Description:

The player is an albino lab rat part of a cognitive psychology experiment. He finds himself inside a maze with obstacles and challenges that he must overcome in order to find the coveted cheese at the end!

Team Roles:

Chuck:

  • Rat Model/Animations
  • Maze/Level Generation
  • UI

Clara:

  • Electricy FX
  • Obstacle Mechanics
  • Obstacle Generator Algorithm (given time)
  • Timer

Dave:

  • Sound Effects
  • iOS Deployment
  • Skybox
  • Textures/Materials

Features:

  • Mouse Trap/Stuffed Mouse
  • Electric Floor/Lever
  • Rolling Ball/Spider (Timing a trip on a hallway)

Contextual Ideas:

  • Light
  • Water Bottle
  • Sugar Pellet Dispenser

Maze Designer Automation

  • Randomly generate maze
  • Randomly select coordinates outside wall to be StartTile and EndTile (with Rat and Cheese Prefabs spawning with these tiles)
  • Use a Maze Solver algorithm so find shortest route from StartTile to EndTile
  • Create an obstabcle along the route determined MazeSolver
  • Use disjointed sets to make sure that the "key" is placed in the same set as the StartTile and Obstacle
  • Consider the Key-Obstacle a "Mini Maze" with a sub-StartTile(obstacle) and sub-EndTile(key)
  • Can repeate steps within the minimaze to combine obstacles as mazes get more complicated
  • We then won't have to design by hand
