Pretty cool concept for a game! Coding this without any starting code is quite impressive. I would recommend increasing the flag speed, as the fun of this game is trying to predict where the ball will end up and not moving there. I also would shorten the radius where you are too close to the ball, because sometimes its impossible to have the ball hit the flag because of that radius. I also think a visual indicator of that radius would be good. Great job this jam!
i really like the dedication and craft so far keep on going
The game itself might not be the best, but the fact that you coded the entire thing from scratch in just 48h is amazing! I once tried implementing custom shadows in unity. It took me a week and I failed miserably. Overall I like your take on the theme and I'm very impressed by your coding skills.
Thanks for the kind comment. The shadows were where I lost the most time, they didn’t work at all for so long, I considered disabling them, until I luckily found the issue.
It may not be the most enjoyable game, but I really respect that you made this from scratch. I know from experience how hard making something like this can be, especially in just 48 hours.
Cool concept! Although, I couldn't actually figure out how to move the ball.
Check the controls section, you need to press SPACE and it only shoots if the hole is not red (red is when you’re too close). You cannot move the ball, you are the hole.
Great job creating an OpenGL rendering engine from scratch in 48 hours and making a golf game with it on top of that! Shadows look great, physics is surprisingly good and the map is nice
