Curling

3D Curling Simulation Graphical Demo

At this point you can throw rocks down the ice and not much else. (I'm still working on the collisions and game state "round/end management" + tallying scores) 

Performance testing:

• GTX1660Ti: Excellent 
• RTX3070: Excellent
• HD Graphics 4600: Poor

In Progress:

• Rock throw parameters (speed, direction, curl):
  • Mostly done, but needs some tweaking to avoid "tokyo drift" effect when an extreme handle/curl (rock rotational velocity) is set
• Collision physics:
  • need to calculate the vector components at collision time to find the resultant x/y-velocities

Future TODO:

(high priority):

• improve collision physics (next item)
• round scoring/turn completion

(medium priority):

• rock removal animation
• hammer indicator

(low priority):

• Background crowd/audience
• Camera tweaks

DONE:

• Ice play area
• Low poly stadium model
• Skybox
• Lighting
• Camera View Toggle
• Camera pan restriction
• Scoreboard grid
• rock removal 
• Basic turn sequence (needs work)

Known Bugs:

• If the first stone thrown goes past the back line, the next turn isn't triggered

Interesting features:

• Ice dimensions/line positions are drawn to scale according to Curling Canada official ice dimensions as closely as possible
