Seek The Light

The Original Project

"Seek The Light" is a labyrinth game made in Unity 3D, strongly inspired by classics like Pac-Man, originally developed for the Advanced Computer Graphics course in the Computer Science program at UFSM.

In terms of academic activity, some topics addressed in the project were state machines for AI agents, two movement modes, one based on tiles and another with steering behavior, shaders (created with Shader Graph and HLSL), and geometry optimization using the Greedy Mesh Algorithm.

Current Version (2023)

After the end of the course, I decided to develop additional features in the project, including:

• Sound effects
• System for creating and selecting stages
• Validator for created stages
• Pause menu
• Along with bug fixes and code refactorings

How-To-Play

The goal of each stage is to collect all the score orbs, being careful not to be caught by the enemies. The player can also find power orbs, which make the enemies vulnerable for a certain time.

The controls consist of WASD for movement and Esc to pause the game.

New Stages

Since this is a project I only work on in my spare time, I ended up not creating many stages, leaving only a few simple ones available that demonstrate the gameplay of the game.

Feel free to suggest new stages; just submit an image .png related to a level in the comments of this post, and I will add it to the game as soon as possible, obviously giving proper credit to the user.

Future Updates

I am satisfied with the current result of the game. The main motivation of this project was my learning, and I see the final product only as a consequence. I don't consider the current state of the game perfect; bugs exist, and I intend to fix them as they are pointed out. However, I have no plans to continue developing new features for the game.
