This is the Workshop area for the latest project development updates.  For the complete listing of released games, please see '''[https://ldsmith.games LDSMITH GAMES]'''.


== Updates ==
== Updates ==


=== October 2023 ===
* Migrated site to new server.  Working on getting website components working again. (main site, workshop wiki, leaderboards).
* Thinking about putting the leaderboard scores on its own subdomain (such as scores.levidsmith.com), but want to avoid having to update URLs compiled into game projects.
* Removed many of the old game wiki pages with little information.  Current plan is to use the workshop (wiki) for development documentation for new projects, then have the "official" pages on the main levidsmith.com site.  That should keep a clear separation between development and release information for projects.


=== December 2022 ===
=== April 2026 ===
* '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/christmas-tree-simulator/ Christmas Tree Simulator]''' - Updated user interface.  New tree model and collision mesh.

=== January 2022 ===
* '''VR Putt''' - Three holes completed.  First hole is an L shape.  Second hole is the windmill.  Third hole is the circular ramp.
* '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/nomis/ Nomis]''' - Added leaderboards for Nomis.  Uploaded new web build and posted new desktop build to Itch.io and GameJolt.
* Resolved access management issue with leaderboard management for game
* '''VR Putt''' - Got club and ball collisions working properly.  The trick is to add a rigidbody to the club and freeze all constraints (position on three axes and rotation on three axes).  If the club does not have a rigidbody, collision events with the ball will frequently miss.  When the club collides with the ball, disable the collider on the club (until the next turn or reset).  Otherwise, the club may collide with the ball multiple times, which will feel janky.  Manually apply physics to the ball using AddForce and the normal from the collision between the club and ball.  This makes the hit feel clean but somewhat "arcadey", since there is only one impact point and unrealistic amount of force.  However, it prevents the user from having to swing like a real golf club since only touching the ball with the club is required.  I'm thinking the amount of force the player wants to use can be calculated by how far the grip button is pressed in (if that value is easily accessible).  The physics from the club is essentially eliminated, which was terrible anyway because moving the club with the VR controller doesn't make it act like a "normal" Unity physics object.  Also added HUD display showing number of strokes (recorded by the GameManager) and debug information.  Tried using two cameras (with the HUD camera set to not clear) so that the HUD text is always on top, but it didn't appear to work.  Added two physics materials, one for the ball and one for the ground with friction settings reduce from 0.8 to 0.1.
* '''VR Putt''' - Worked on VR Putt minigolf game using Oculus Quest.  Got new VR project created in Unity using new VR template.  Learned how to get an event when a VR controller button is pressed to reset the ball.  Created club out of two Unity cubes and a ball with Unity sphere.  Parented club to VR controller to make club move with right controller.  Collision between club and ball works, but does not give expected velocity to ball when hit.  This may not be an easily solved issue, so may just detect the collision and add velocity manually so that the club does not have to be swung quickly.
* '''[https://levidsmith.com/games/mutant-veggie-arena/ Mutant Veggie Arena]''' - Updated Mutant Veggie Arena to the latest version of Unity (2020.3.23f1) and Playmaker (1.9.4f2).  Web build now works again (collision issues resolved).
[[File:Nomis 20220108 001.jpg|200px|frameless|Nomis - Leaderboard added]] [[File:Vrputt 20220103 01.jpg|200px|frameless|VR Putt - New club model and HUD]] [[File:Vrputt 20220102 01.jpg|200px|frameless|VR Putt - Initial VR integration]]


* New Game '''[https://ldsmith.games/details/easter-egg-crash Easter Egg Crash]'''


- In this puzzle game, colored eggs (red, green, yellow blue) fall in pairs. You must crash the easter eggs using gems of the same color. Crash the number of eggs specified in the goals to move to the next level.
