globalgamejam2018pipes's Issues

Introduction needed

We need some kind of instruction to the game. At least there needs to be a help site. But perhaps better would be a small/short guided tutorial through the system. Suggestion are welcome!

Cursor shows the pipe on a tile with a pipe

It shouldn't display it. It works when you hover over the pipe, but if you hover over the tile it displays the pipe in the cursor.

Level advancement should be looked into

At the moment the user just can deliver but nothing is really happening. We should look into giving the player some feedback and prices. Also need to reset the level and increase the difficulty over time. Probably by requesting more difficult to achieve mixtures over time. Perhaps even introduce a time limit during singleplayer?

We should also cooperate with the other team as this is also a feature that should be available in multiplayer.

Can we replace the cursor with the hammer and use it as a pointer?

You have to click with your mouse on a pipe while having the hammer selected to destroy the pipe. The hammer is centered on the cursor. Thus the head of the hammer isn't usually near the pipe. This can be quite confusing and should be fixed. At least the hammer head should be at the mouse cursor position.

When clicking somewhere on a tile without any selection a turn is built

Shouldn't happen...

Building code should be revisited

We saw some edge cases where the game went nuts during building and destroying of pipes. It seems to be related to holding down the mouse button. Additional investigation is needed.

Should it be possible to deposit a hammer on a tile?

Instead of returning it to the table? Should we allow more than one hammer? Just throwing out an idea.

Rotation on the table isn't the same as when selecting that pipe

The cursor currently keeps rotation information when switching pipes. Thus the pipe has a different rotation than the one that was picked up. Looks kind of weird.
