Goal: Repair the “gearbox” before it self-destructs

</aside>

Borrowing heavily from Simon, Spaceteam and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes - this will be a reflex/precision game, where you complete tasks in an order, and within a time limit in order to win.

• A display at the top will tell you the order of “things to fix”
  • Gears: set to an “o’clock” position
  • Switches: on/off
• Set number of rounds per session (default: 3)
• Set time limit per round (default: 1 minute)
• Increase in difficulty each round (more tasks, broken components)
• Getting stuff wrong causes a time penalty/breaks the component

Implementation

Sprites

• Gears
  • Rotating
  • Malfunctioning
• Switches
  • On
  • Off
  • Disabled

Challenges

• Making it standalone: either using a Raspberry Pi (Box64) or a tablet (Android 10-inch)
• Unity + gears: I went down quite the rabbit hole on gears. TLDR; it’s a challenge to simulate them as physics objects in Unity
