experimenting with webvr.

Thanks to @borismus and his fantastic work on webvr-polyfill

Show, Don't tell

• game
• boilerplate

WebAR

• modify webvr-polyfill to provide positional tracking with jsartoolkit
• video in the back
• works in mobile web. so android and google glass
• makes ar as easy to code as normal 3d

Game idea

• like a game in a foire
• little gltf duck are pumping up
• you hit them with a hammer

Reticle

• TODO THREEx.Reticle.signals.nearingStart/nearingStop signals
  • signals triggered when the reticle is near a potential target
  • Reticle UI is using it to make the reticle smaller when it isnt near a target
• make the reticle close to the target - thus no focus trouble
• dispatch the intersecting object in signals
  • thus people can code feedback on intersecting object too

TODO

• make a start screen - get a instruction screen

• remove font-awesome and put svg icon

  • https://github.com/encharm/Font-Awesome-SVG-PNG/tree/master/black/svg

• have a player death leading to a instruction screen ?

• make game.html playable

  • aka able to shoot at enemy, die if enemy touch
  • thor hammer as enemy
  • stop sound when reseting enemy position
  • handle state via Promise
  • minimap
  • make score

• make it tell a story

  • zombies running into you
  • you squashing kittens with a horrible guns
  • something with kitten and heart

• TODO what is the state automata for player/enemies/game

  • game state automata
  • instruction screen -> wait for use to start
  • startGame (loading resource) -> gameStarted()

• THREE.Reticle could be useful in three.js

  • API similar to raycaster
  • signals mouseEnter/mouseLeave/click

• pointerlock while on desktop - https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/examples/misc_controls_pointerlock.html <<<<<<< HEAD

  • seems more like a webvr-polyfill ui issue =======
  • immersive-web/webvr-polyfill#115

b95f90417db7b78c6f16a11035025503c46bc4ce

• ipad issues

  • cant go fullscreen
  • cant come back from stereo

• DONE find a good way to position minimap+score

  • RayCaster to compute the ray from the camera position and mouse position
    • https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/src/core/Raycaster.js
  • Ray.IntersectPlane https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/src/math/Ray.js#L310
  • make a THREE.Plane with .setFromNormalAndCoplanarPoint http://threejs.org/docs/index.html#Reference/Math/Plane
  • normal+coplanarPoint obtained from camera
  • normal (0,0,1) is from camera.worldToLocal
  • coplanarPoint camera.worldToLocal(0,0,cameraToUiDistance)

Changelog

• added toggle mute function
• added icons with font awesome - not too nice icons - but easy and free
• cloned webvr-polyfill example - https://github.com/borismus/webvr-polyfill
