alfonshister ONLINE (10/30/2015) [-] I would hihgly recommend another game with similar "what-the-heck-physics"
Look up "Monument Valley"

thehumanidiot ONLINE (10/30/2015) [-] Everything is based off of the initial distance/scale the object was picked up at versus the area behind it. Pseudo-code could look something like this-
>Pickup Object
>Check Initial Scale(size)
>Move Object to furthest point in visible space
>Scale Object Based on distance moved so that size appears same
(Would be based on a formula using original scale, roughly like
newScale = newDistance * startScale)
>Tada
Usually the most out of the box concepts like this are pretty easy to tackle

bminous (10/30/2015) [-] It actually isn't that crazily complicated (I am most likely making a similar project for my graphics class).
The way your GPU renders the game is by converting objects in your game's 3D world space into 2D screen space using a bunch of matrices. One of these matrices is dependent upon how far away the object is from the camera (called the perspective matrix), which makes sense since objects that are farther away appear smaller.
If you take an object's coordinates in screen space and use the inverse of all of the matrices you just used to convert it there, it changes them back into world space. However, if you change the z-value of this perspective matrix, it'll change the object into 3D world space at the given z-distance and with a size that makes it look the same from the camera's perspective.

bubblesbubble (10/30/2015) [-] I'm also in a computer graphics class (University of Wisconsin) and this is ******* cool, and it's amazing how easy the math is. We have to do a final projects before the end of the semester, I'm thinking of selecting one that does something similar to this.

trollczar (10/30/2015) [-] UW-Platteville here, can attest for quality professors. Many of my Engineering professors graduated from Madison, but came here due to the quality of the undergrad program. Ive been told time and time again, that if you want to get a bachelor's degree go to the other UW's, but for graduates go to UW-Madison.

bminous (10/30/2015) [-] Due to the way perspective works, a small object that's close and a large object that's far away both look the same size on your screen.
Take 3D object in world
Change it into 2D object on-your-screen-size
Change that back into a 3D object in world at a different distance, but with a size that is still the same when it is changed into 2D object-on-your-screen size

kokkoderrisch (10/30/2015) [-] It provides quite the contrast to the prog rock and hip hop I listen to.
I usually listen to French classical music when I'm reading books by Proust, Flaubert and other French authors.

huntertde (10/30/2015) [-] No, it's not. It's two songs: "LIghts of San Francisco" by **** Sazonoff , and "You'll Never Be Mine" by Dmitry Lukyanov.

This is what Erik Satie's Trois Gymnopedies sound like:

They do sound similar, but Satie didn't compose for the sax, double bass, and drums.

ampharosrules (10/30/2015) [-] Nice ode to Portal 2, seeing as there is definitely some (or a lot of) inspiration from the series.

assdoreponyfucker (10/30/2015) [-] Puzzle game using unique way of getting from one place to another? Doors not allowing items through? The moon? Did you not play Portal?

ketiw ONLINE (10/30/2015) [-]
man did you really just say MOON as a reason? I concur on the doors thing but other two are just nonsence... also did you play SP? it look almost like it, i mean take a look, long hallways a LOT of door... i think it looks more like SP... if there would be portals i would say portal but there is none

assdoreponyfucker (10/30/2015) [-] I never played SP, it's like Portal for the gameplay and mechanics not the looks

ampharosrules (10/30/2015) [-] So in Portal 2 (spoilers I guess but whatevs) the finale you shoot a portal at the moon. Look at the walls in the moon part of this game. That's the ode part. My simplest objection to your argument is why would the creator of this game put a huge reference to Portal 2 if they didn't draw inspiration from it? I'd like to think they aren't so simple as to just put it in there because "Portal was cool and memes and **** ."
As far as inspiration, you don't have to have portals just to be inspired by Portal. That's more along the lines of copyright. The gameplay of this is very similar to Portal. As assdoreponyfucer said it utilizes a unique method to solve puzzles and get to the exit. Portal was a great game to challenge your way of thinking (a.k.a your perspective) and stretching your problem solving skills. This game does the same thing in a similar fashion. The Stanley Parable, while also having hallways and doors, which is as **** of a relation as if not more than using the moon as one; c'mon man it's like you're not even trying that's more of a guided narrative that stretches your way of thinking about reality rather than your way of finding solutions. Stanley Parable doesn't have an "objective" is the traditional video game sense, whereas this game and Portal do.

ampharosrules (10/31/2015) [-] Ohhhhh okay. I think we may have been misunderstanding each other. I didn't mean the entire game was an ode to Portal 2. I meant the moon scene was a nice ode to Portal 2. Sorry for the confusion!

DrollHumor (10/30/2015) [-] No, I don't think it's that.
It looks like the whole objective of each room is to get to the next room by solving a puzzle that makes you utilize a new feature of physics and think about space differently.
Plus there's even emancipation grids!

And Portal is nice too.
