Titled &#8216;Rube Goldberg Hail Boat,&#8217; this proof of concept incorporated animation through physics, gravity, and rigidbody components. This hail boat will have triggers on each rail, tallying up points. This game includes moving boats, falling hail, and a time limit, challenging players to catch as much hail as possible, before time runs out and the storm ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color:#ec008c\"><strong>CREDITS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\"><sub><strong>LOWPOLY BOATS<\/strong><\/sub><br>Rajat Verma (UAS)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ec008c;color:#ec008c\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A physics experiment in Unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,49],"tags":[39,40,38],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20889"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20889"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22975,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20889\/revisions\/22975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visualchemist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
