All on one screen.\u00a0 So I figure the screen<\/strong> should do something interesting, and that something should be the core of the game.<\/p>\n

I decided the screen will rotate.<\/p>\n

I have a long list of possible features but my first sprint here was to get an arena that rotates when the player walks over a trigger.\u00a0 I accomplished this by rotating the camera and not the world, but of course this creates havoc with the coordinate system.\u00a0 I anticipated this but I ran into a bit of trouble re-orienting the input vector to the world vector based on the camera’s rotation.<\/p>\n

I’ve solved this issue and now I can rotate the world and still move around intuitively!<\/p>\n

The tiles were made in SPArtAn, the rest is total placeholder.<\/p>\n
