Inspiration
-What inspired me to make this was the overall theme for RoseHack this year along with my own personal research and projects prior to the hackathon. Recently, I have been experimenting and learning about Unity, specifically how to make table top games with playing cards, so I was feeling confident enough to make a new project using my newly acquired knowledge to make a few tabletop games in a diner setting.
What it does
-My project is a game that has three smaller tabletop games in it that you can switch between at any time. The three games are Blackjack, War, and Tic-Tac-Toe. They are all single player so you are always playing against "The House" and after you move, the House will automatically move as well.
How we built it
-I built it using the Unity game engine which allowed me to import all the assets I need for the images and other art, as well as easily write the scripts for all of the game objects that would be handled and manipulated by Unity. The assets I used for this project include free pngs online such as the cards and the X's and O's while other assets like the animated sprites and the main backgrounds, I made using sprite makers such as Piskel.
Challenges we ran into
-Some challenges I ran into was how to maintain all of the cards in the database in a singular deck and easily and consistently deal cards. However, I was able to add all the cards to a separate list and manipulate that list based on what I needed to do such as dealing.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
-I am proud that I was able to finish all three parts of the game that I originally planned. They're not perfect, but I was able to get them working consistently and able to easily switch in the game so the game can keep running no matter what the user wants to do.
What we learned
-I learned more ways to use Unity and more in depth was to manipulate game objects on a canvas. I also learned how to manage and manipulate lists of a custom class type to have an easy database of all the cards and be able to deal them.
What's next for RoseHack Diner Dealings
-I would like to add more details such as little animations and sound effects for the dealing of cards. I would also like to add another simple table top game such as solitaire where the player can drag cards around.
