This project served as an initial introduction to our game development engine. I chose to use the Unity game engine due to its popularity, community, available assets and the overall challenge of trying to make a game that looks and plays great. Unity allows you to use several different languages to include C# which is what I used for this project.

Running the Game

Download the following compressed file and run the executable called ‘LaunchGame.exe’. bouncingball.zip

Game Instructions

The game will automatically begin and balls will be generated at a random three dimensional coordinate within the scope of the cube. Additionally, the balls will generate with a randomly set velocity however as they bounce off objects their velocity will tend to increase.

Test Plan

I took a visual approach to my testing plan along with using the current coordinates of each ball to verify proper game dynamics. When the game begins, all balls should be placed at a random position inside the cube. By looking at the X,Y,Z coordinates you can see that the balls are in fact generating randomly inside the cube. The balls also generate with a random velocity and will increase in velocity due the cubes frictionless environment. I am unsure how to properly develop test plans for Unity. There may be some sort of testing framework that exists however I don’t feel confident enough to use one yet.
