GameJam [01]

A GameJam event with a team consisting of a Programmer (me) and 1 technical artist.

This GameJams theme was the exploration of destructible objects using magic.

The first goal was to code out a Telekinesis framework that uses a signle input to lift and throw physics bodies

Next was to make the same TK system affect structures connected by configurable joints.

Next I wrote a tool to automagically detect child rigidbodies and attach recursive connecting configurable joints to each parent/child combo according to a configuration set before runtime. Pain to write, but satisfying to test.

Next came alternate TK abilities and properties to achieve different features from the same framework.

Sadly we ran out of time, I learned in the future to make sure to work with a more capable team.
