It's a Hard Cloth Life

Welcome to the game! In "It's a Hard Cloth Life," you play as our hero, the couth and nondescript Clothman! It is his mission add some whimsy to his companions, the orbs of plainness. Go after them by using 'wasd' to move in preset directions, leftclick and drag to move the camera, and 'j' to do a flippant jump. By flimsily striking each orb, you can rack up points. Try to get as many points as you can in a timely manner - and challenge your friends to beat your time!

Now, Clothman's will is his strongest asset, making up for his fragile and thin frame. If you don't land just right, the magic holding his cloth frame together becomes twisted. By pressing 'r,' you can reset the stage, which also allows you to get more points after each strike knocks you both out. Clothman also possesses some special time-space powers! By pressing the spacebar, you can pause all motion to halt in its place. The 'u' and 'i' can also manipulate gravity, as seen by the multiplier at the bottom of the screen. An unruly power to be sure, but it might just get you a quick point or two!


Techniques involved:
Sparse matrices
Implicit Euler
Physics manipulations (sometimes tempermental)
Cloth physics adjustments to keep it together more often

CPE474 Lab 13 used as a base.
