3D bowling in space. The main challenge was the implementation of the scoring system compliant with official ten-pin bowling rules. Personal project.

Overview

• Written in C#
• Engine: Unity
• Platform: PC/Mac, Android/iOS
• Camera: follow-cam
• Character: none (ball)
• Controls: Touch, Mouse

Details

• Implemented architecture, fully compliant with official ten-pin bowling rules, using test-driven development (TDD) with unity testing tools:
  • GameManager class holds game state.
  • GameManager requests next appropriate action from static action system class.
  • GameManager requests current score from static scoring system class.
  • Realtime scoring system takes possible bonuses from future attempts into account.
• Animations with sub-state machines.
• Manipulation of Unity’s physics engine.
• Touch control system with swipe input for launching the ball.
• Camera chases the ball until in front of the pins.

Scoring the first ball…

…the second ball adds to a frame score.

The first ball of the frame hit nine pins, now we hit this last pin with the second ball of the frame…

…which adds up to a spare.

The last frame is special. Had we managed to bowl a strike or spare with the first two balls, a bonus ball would have been rewarded.
