Developer Story

As a developer, I want to be able to use hand drawn ui elements so that I can create a unique look and feel for the game.

Description

Add forked wired_elements code to the project. Over time improve the quality of the widgets to match the needs of the game.

In the future these changes can either be upstreamed to the original project or the project can be forked and maintained separately.

• Make button below in the rough style using this tool
• Also prepare android version

User Story

As a developer of the game, I want to be able to track the rotation of the device, so that I can use it to control the character

Description

The main premise of this game is to make it possible to control your character using unconventional means. The first of these is to use the rotation of the device to control the character.

No libraries are support directly, so it needs to be implemented from scratch.

Track rotations using the gyroscope and accelerometer via sensors_plus.

The tracking should support two modes:

• With the phone face up on a surface, a full rotation would involve rotating the phone 360 degrees flush with the surface.
• With the phone face up on a surface facing you (in portrait mode) a full rotation would involve rotating the phone along the long edge (left → right or right → left) so it's face down on the surface and then doing so again, so it is face up on the surface.

There is another rotation type, but it's a very difficult motion to accomplish.

Description

Decided on the tech stack for the game.

The choice is between:

Godot

Positives

• Option to use rust for the game logic, which would allow using rust across the stack.
• Provides a user interface for putting the game together.
• Used in many games, so very stable and well-supported.

Negatives

• Slow build times
• No hot reloading
• Annoying to deploy to mobile (requires a lot of setup)
• Not good for the general game UI.
• Very hard to build native iOS and Android apps functionality (e.g. rotation tracking).
• gdnative uses a lot of unsafe code.
• Creating a UI is difficult

Flutter

Positives

• Hot reloading.
• Very intuitive native plugin API.
• Huge community.
• User interface design is straightforward and well documented.
• Fast build times.

Negatives

• No user interface for flame (the game engine).
• No 3D support.

Decision

I've decided to work with flutter due to the speed of iteration at this point. Although I've set up a godot sample project, I won't use it for the first 2D game.

In the future, I plan to work on a 3D version of SpinnyBox and this is where godot may shine. I'll also be monitoring the progress of gdextension.

Description

Port the fundraising contract from soldons.

Description

Player should be visible with a character and a simple background.

Description

The core of this game is the idea that rotating the phone to move the character is fun and works consistently across phones.

I've been able to get a basic version working on my phone, but I'm not certain that it works on all devices.

• create a "Test Rotations Screen"
• on this screen show a record button to track recognizable gestures
• walk users through checking that their phone can recognize the valid gestures
• record the data that is produced (with permission) and track the level of support across devices

Descriptions

The user should be able to avoid obstacles in the game.

Obstacles are generated based on the random key the game was generated with.

Each player motion should fire an action that can be sent to the server so that games are fully replayable (this also opens the possibility of multiplayer and spectator mode).

Base the design on skribble.dev

• Transparent with blurred background when scrolling
• Mobile menu uses sidebar

Something simple will suffice.

User Story

As a user
I want to rotate my phone to the left and right
So that the character moves to the left and right

Description

The player should move to the left and right in response to rotation gestures from a user.

Description

Deploy the fundraising program to devnet for testing.

Description

Add support to the solana program for fundraising. Donation thresholds unlock a special nft character.

Description

Create an Audio class which is used throughout the app and game.

• Rough edges and a hand-drawn background using SVG filters
• Support different button sizes

Description

Work to set up the fundraising platform, which should make it possible to fund the development of the game.

Description

If possible setup codemagic for automatic builds on every push.

There should be a background component for the home page.

• It should be able to take child components.
• It should be full width and have a minimum height of a full page.

Description

Write a fundraising client in rust that can be used to interact with the fundraising contract.

Description

I want to use spinnybox.com as the domain name, but the current domain registrar doesn't support top level CNAME domains.

Rather than use www I'll switch the DNS to cloudflare and setup the railway deployment to use spinnybox.com.

Description

• integrate games_services support for iOS
• add a riverpod Provider to the app to consume the API

Description

Currently the configuration uses the CodeMagic dashboard.

• use the codemagic.yaml

• Implement accordion
• Add hand-drawn borders

Description

This would be nice to look into.

• install
• integrate
• enhance
• check if it impacts build / iteration speed

Description

• codemagic builds should only be triggered if the CI passes
• add flutter lint and format checks to the github workflows build

Description

There are no atomic CSS tools built for rust.

I want to revisit skribble as I'm becoming increasingly frustrated styling the website with other tools.

Description

For the MVP there will only be one character, however it should be designed in a way that is extensible and can be updated later on.

Description

As an alternative to tailwind which doesn't support deno.

Check if this method works.

• Blurb for the game

Description

Add support for dark mode.

Description

Create an SEO package based on next-seo.

Description

Create a showcase route.

Use the section component to display each component that is being worked on, as it is worked on.

User Story

As a user, I want to be able to update my settings, like sound volume, music volume and tutorial visibility so that I can customise my game experience.

Screenshots

Description

This setup looks simple enough, but I ran into a few problems last time.

Description

This is the tracking issue for the game mvp.

The first version of the game will target iOS.
