I have been thinking about suggesting this for a while now. Could you please implement that the game tracks the rotation count during room generation with a sumcount (+1 to the right -1 to the left) so that the game tries to keep the amount of turns on 1 side in balance?
Idk how to explain this better or if it's possible at all but I feel like it would heavily improve the gameplay for wired users.
Thx
It would work only with linear levels (currently "experience mode"). For more open levels it won't help, and currently they are still linear with mazes at some bits, while I plan to have levels with really much more open structure.
Generating level and keeping turn counts is not that trivial thing. But there is one much simplier approach:
1. count rotations done by a player so far.
2. generate level in usual way and count rotations needed to finish level (even for open levels we can just assume the shortest path).
3. if we would be rotating further away from zero, just... mirror the whole level. Then all right rotations will be left and vice versa.
I see what you mean with challenge mode yeah. I was showing the game to a friend and he played experience on bigger mode and 2 times he had the situation where the rotation was 9+ (we use the rotation counter on the wrist). Nonetheless it's not that bad to just turn around in place to unwind the cable but it does make you a bit dizzy.
