Digital Recreation of Classic Playground Game
A digital recreation of the classic playground game Hopscotch, featuring interactive graphics, physics-based stone throwing, accurate jump mechanics, and a comprehensive scoring system. The game captures the nostalgic feel of the playground classic while adding modern gaming features like achievements and multiplayer support.
The game uses a component-based architecture with separate systems for different mechanics:
Solution: Implemented parabolic trajectory equations with drag coefficient to make stone throwing feel natural and predictable while maintaining game balance.
Solution: Created a sprite animation system with interpolation between frames to ensure fluid hopping motion across squares.
Solution: Built a state machine to track valid moves and automatically detect rule violations like line stepping or improper hopping patterns.
