Hamster ball locomotion #1630

Open thestonefox opened 6 years ago

thestonefox commented 6 years ago

The ability to move around by rolling a hamster ball

Like this: https://gfycat.com/OpulentExhaustedGoldenretriever

I'll try and contact the author on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/Reil

If anyone else wants to try and implement it, then I'd suggest the easiest way would be to have a spherical collider surround the play area, and attach spring joints from the controllers to the rigidbody on the play area. they should just rotate the play area when pulled.

I've implemented this (Quite fun to use, btw). I plan to work on it a bit tomorrow to better comply with your coding standards. I also need to learn how to 'correctly' commit to the alpha branch. Is there a way you could assign this to me so another contributor doesn't double up on the work?

thestonefox commented 6 years ago

Doesn't look like I can assign you to the task, your name doesn't show up in the assignee list

bddckr commented 6 years ago

You can only assign members of the repo AFAIK.

A good workaround would be to just some labels and add one like already taken | WIP or something 😄

Thanks for trying!
