Phase 4 (Puzzle)

This game is similar to the classic puzzle - ball in the maze. The underlying reason that leads to a happier state of mind is similar to how people feel while learning the technique of Origami. When the participant’s hands are engaged in the process of folding the paper, there are impulses being sent to the brain and, in turn, release serotonin as one progresses gradually.

In this game, the ball has to be dragged using fingers to find the way and get the ball out of the maze. Initially, the idea was to move the ball by simply changing the orientation of the phone i.e. using the phone’s accelerometer, but chose to drag for lesser complexity with the game development.

Problems Faced

The ball disappeared or fell out on the ground while we were building this part. So, we had to rebuild the entire section. This happened even after we made a new game, and the only solution was to remove them as children of the Ground Plane Stage. As a result, the game started even before scanning the plane.
