DEFRAGMENT VR

Warning: Requires VR

(Tested on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, unknown if other VR systems will work)

Story

You are a Defragmentation Program. Data is coming into your storage medium in the form of data blocks, and you must make efficient use of the available space to store as much data as possible before your space completely runs out!

How to play

• Data blocks (each worth 1 MB of data) appear in the area periodically; this will speed up very gradually over time.
• Use the trigger on the left and right controllers to pick up data blocks, and release the trigger to drop them.
• While holding two cubes of the same color, you can touch them together to merge them; they take up the same volume, but can still make more efficient use of space.
• If any block touches the barrier above the play area, the game ends, and your score is displayed (the number of megabytes of data you managed to store).

Notes

• Try not to push blocks through each other, as it can launch one of them, typically resulting in an immediate loss when it crosses the barrier.
• It's possible to push blocks through walls, but don't do it. At worst, the block will stay in the play area but become completely uninteractable. At best, the game will realize a block has left the play area, resulting in an immediate game over.
• This has not been tested with any VR system other than the HTC Vive. That's not to say it won't work, however, so if you have another VR system and can test it, let me know the results in the comments. Update A user has tested it on the Rift and confirms that it works fine!

• Programming: Unity 2018 (uses SteamVR assets from Unity Asset Store only for VR setup)
