Viking Races

Summary and Game mechanics

The player controls a viking racing car along a predefinite track.

The race has a timer that the player has to beat to win the race. Obstacles and the object hourglass are physical objects:

• Obstacles, if hit, decrease the timer.
• Hourglass can be collected and, like a bonus, increases the timer

The timer is set to 1 minute (for the prototype).

The game starts after a “3-2-1 Go!” starter.

Gyroscope, input, camera shake and claxon are implemented for best game experience.

When the game is first installed and run, the game checks the amount of RAM on the user's device and sets the default graphic settings accordingly. The pause menu is implemented with UMG, placed in a custom HUD, and displays device information as well as lets the user manually set graphics settings. This setting is then saved and persisted across game sessions. Most of the device information used in the game is accessed through helper functions written in C++ and uses the Java Native Interface.
