Cool little idea I came up with

This game involves sonic-style movement, but also includes the ability to rotate the world.

If you press space, the world around you rotates by 90 degrees

2

I don’t know why, but the player never moves to the area he was when the world rotates, it’s always the starting point

3

the game idea is very cool but have a lot of bugs haha

it reminds me of a indie game called “fez” i bet you know it

4

Ok, so if the object is not moveable, keep it at an once. But if not. Make sure to remove the once and connect the input into the extractors

5

I actually already had a game example for Fez years ago. I’ll try this game out later, see if it is the same concept.

6

Nice! Would’ve never imagined it.

Feel free to use this in your works. This was just a proof-of-concept.

Now that I think about this, this would be a SWEET mechanic for Starblast - too bad the playing field isn’t square

How did you get him to gain speed? @jegthree

@nkbulider I simply used a motor

11

I can’t believe I didn’t see this before - that 90 degree rotate logic is fantastic!

@grazer me paying attention in math class finally paid off I think. Lol

So here’s the formula, which is pretty simple- take the coordinates, swap 'em (so now X is Y and vice versa), Then make one negative, depending on which way you want it to rotate.

I just went the extra mile and used eases to make it rotate visually instead of just teleporting (which, believe me, was miserable)

If you want it to rotate 180 degrees, I think you make both negative

13

that is awesome
