Devlog #11 - Point distribution and new loading screen (?)

Progress

TLDR: I finished a ground detection system that sees when the ball hits the ground and gives appropriate pts. I’m also working on a new pre-menu/splash screen!

• The ground detection system uses a collider check that looks for when the ball hits the ground and sees where the ball was last and the last player to touch the ball, giving points accordingly
• There were issues with ground hits giving double points because the ball would bounce, so I had to add a cooldown that prevented this
• The ground hitting detection made me realise the bots kept letting the ball hit the ground first, so I had to fix that up by getting bots to hit earlier which I did by reducing hit cooldown (idk why it worked)
• I’m also working on a new splash screen! (check below)

What’s next?

• Hopefully I can get the splash screen done fairly quickly now that I think I’ve finalised a design
• I want to make a menu screen and a tutorial
• I’m going to add some kind of animations for the characters
• I’ll also eventually add some sort of score-keeping graphics and animations
