Circular p5 jump

← Notes

Tags: [todo][software][game]

Goal: A new version of p5-jump but in a circular track.

Ideas:

The track should be circular.
The player starts at an angle of 0 and the goal is to make as many full cycles as possible.
The progress detection could be:

• Start at angle 0
• On each frame check the current angle
  • If it's larger than the previous max value update it
  • If it's larger than 2 pi, add 1 turn to the counter and reset with the difference to zero
  • Make sure to handle <0 angle to avoid counting "reverse" turns

The obstacles could be generated either from the angle 0 or directly behind the player and starting in the opposite direction.

The player should be able to control forward/backward and jump

In a v2 it would be interesting to work on graphics: Using a sprite of a stick-person running and jumping, maybe animating the obstacles too.
