Getting the globe to spin (Gudbrand 03)

The idea of the app is to pick a starting country and complete all the dishes on the globe staring in your selected country. And we though it would be very cool to have a globe the user can spin around when picking a country. After doing some googling I found a way to rotate a mesh by pressing and dragging on the screen. This left me with one problem, how do I implement buttons on the globe. The answer ended up being quite simple indeed. By putting a mesh under the globe as a child of the globe in the editor I was able to place out meshes representing the countries where they would be on the globe in real life, and they would spin together with the globe. I then created events for when these meshes where clicked on. I had overlooked a big problem. I can click on countries when I’m in other menus, to fix this I created a bool variable that would be set to false whenever I load a widget that’s not the campaign and set to true when the campaign is loaded.

With this all figured out we were ready to start working on the countries and the dishes they will include.

The game is inspired by rpg-games so we had to have a leveling system The players “Level” is therefor the first item. But now we need a way to gain levels. We get levels when we “Complete tasks” and earn exp (experience points), this is an action. When we level up, we unlock more difficult tasks. “Task Difficulty” is a control because it will control how likely the player is to complete a task. Our ide was to have a daily task and maybe some smaller tasks every day so we have to store our tasks in the item “Available Tasks” and to replenish the tasks we have the action “Give new task”; I then made the table for the learning CLD. The table this tame is the same but with a 3 rd item. “Cooking skills and knowledge” is a measure of the skills and knowledge acquired through completing cooking tasks in our app. The las...
