Grid Arena

Inspiration

Grid Arena is inspired by the classic minigames I grew up playing on Minecraft. These nostalgic experiences motivated me to recreate that joy, but with a fresh twist, in a whole new environment.

What it does

Grid Arena delivers fast-paced PvP action across multiple game modes like Spleef and Run. Players navigate layered grids in dynamic battles, blending strategic movement with quick reflexes to outsmart opponents.

How we built it

The game was built using a combination of TypeScript and Codeblocks, developed primarily in a VR headset. The process combined creative design with innovative technical implementation to craft engaging, immersive gameplay.

Challenges we ran into

  • Adopting new technologies like TypeScript while building within the unique Horizon Worlds ecosystem.
  • Overcoming performance challenges, such as managing the spawning of thousands of objects, to ensure smooth gameplay.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Offering multiple exciting game modes that capture the fun I experienced as a kid, now reimagined for VR and mobile players.
  • Pushing technical boundaries to create a stable, visually appealing, and innovative gaming experience.

What we learned

  • Creating a coherent building plan from start to finish.
  • Designing a well-thought-out game accessible to both VR and mobile players.
  • Utilizing TypeScript and other new technologies to expand my skill set.

What's next for Grid Arena

The future of Grid Arena includes:

  • Expanding with new upgrades, unlocks, and potentially additional game modes.
  • Continuously enhancing the player experience to keep the game exciting and engaging for all.
