World Config

[notchris]

There should be a number of 'worlds' or 'courses', with 12 holes in each. The environments (and obstacles) should change based on the world. The default configuration is a sky shader.

Example:

[circuitbone]

• [ ] Theme name
• idea element
• idea element
• idea element

### LAND BASED

FAUX CLASSIC

• [ ] learning map
• basics learn to play
• Traditional as they get.
• mechanical things.

GREEN HILLS

• [ ] learning map
• basics learn to play
• rabbits cute rabbits block your path, white bunnies

TIGERS WOOD

• [ ] Tree maze
• A maze or obstacle of trees

LLAMAS BREAD

• [ ] Llamas get scared and dash about if you trigger them

PINBALL WIZARD

• [ ] Bumpers
• bumpers like in pinball bounce the ball
• bumpers make sounds like a pinball
• hole in one rail bridge

SAND CASTLE

• [ ] Big sand trap with sand castle blocking your way
• need to smash the castle door to get past or put it through holes

TEMPLE RUN

• [ ] Aztec Temple trap
• sliding stone obstacles crush the ball

PANDUMBIC

• [ ] Zombies
• patrolling moving obstacles consume the ball

### WATER BASED

TORNADO ALLEY

• [ ] big lake or span of water
• Visible tornadoes move and block your way

JUMP THE SHARK

• [ ] big lake or span of water
• shark swims in pattern underwater
• shark jumps and takes ball if you don't watch his pattern

SHIPS AHOY

• [ ] big lake or span of water
• ships move left and right or a long path and sails block your ability to get over

KRAKEN HEADS

• [ ] big lake or span of water
• Large octopus monster with large tentacles block the ball as you see the krakens head in the middle of the water

*DRAGONS LAIR

• [ ] Mountain and dragon

### PHYSICS BASED

*MAGNET

• [ ] Magnetic magnets matneting

*POCKETS OF AIR

• [ ] Pushes ball upwards and forwards etc.

We also have this kenneys resource.

Using Kenneys straight unit as a thing of measurement for now I can create a whole bunch of classic shaped obstacles.

Mini golf Obstacles Classic Set 001

• Kenneys Scale kept in for reference
• Delivered as one large OBJ file with each object isolated to a mesh set.
• Scaling will be easier to manage as a megaset.

exercise for clarity

• stair chicane & arches
• cogs
• cones
• cyls
• ramps
• tubes
• flowers & stars misc

[circuitbone]

Next Version

• improve flower combinations

• improve star combinations

• add rails to ramps

• discuss style aesthetic to shader pipeline

Mini golf Obstacles Classic Set 002

• Kenneys Scale kept in for reference
• Delivered as one large OBJ file with each object isolated to a mesh set.
• Scaling will be easier to manage as a megaset.
• More Flower Combos
• More Star Combos
• Rails on ramps or railramps

I can derive a water trap as well if that works out.

Mini golf Obstacles Classic Set 003

Ring Cones : Array of Cones forming a pattern of obstacles.

• Intended to be around the end goal point.
• r = ring or iterations
• c - cone or cone facets
• Example structure : ring_cone_r4_c3

COURSE RESEARCH

• 16 holes

A course with 16 holes and with strict layout consistency can still produce an interesting game but loses some fun in the translation.

Save for a more strict version of the game for a more moderate or classic classic mode.
