For my final project, I wanted to create a game with a fun ambiguous character. In a way, the game is like a fight between an organic shape and geometric shapes. It’s slightly different from my proposal but I like the way it turned out. It uses a modified version of the generative landscape functions, making the terrain (falling objects) fall downwards instead of sideways. It was difficult to modify the code so that the shapes would fall in a way that was relatively even, and not in lines or waves. The character is done using a heavily modified version of the soft body code found on the p5.js examples.

The objective of the game is to clear the screen! The rings pop whenever the character touches them, but the character’s own color must match up with the color of the squares to eat them. To change the character’s color, the player must select Q, W or E on their keyboard.
