Inspiration

Inspired by classics like Poly Bridge, BridgeDit! is a fresh take on the traditional physics simulator / bridge building puzzle genre which fully utilises Reddit Devvit's social features to build a community around this common puzzle genre.

It is a showcase of what is possible on the Devvit platform - blending modern 3D graphics with user-generated content to let users build their own levels and contribute new content regularly.

What it does

Unleash your inner engineer!

Negotiate challenging demands with your puzzle-solving skills by building bridges in all shapes and sizes for varying demands! Getting from point A to B has never been this fun.

How we built it

Reddit Devvit Web, Three.js, Lots of hard work

Challenges we ran into

Graphics programming - as there were many possible graphical themes to execute, I ended up implementing three different game "skins" before settling on one.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building a whole bridge-building puzzle physics simulator game with modern 3D graphics in just 2 weeks!

What we learned

Embrace user-generated content - since creating daily puzzles for the game would be more convenient with a level editor anyway, I realised it would be sensible to polish it up for users to use too, enabling full user-generated content and refreshing new puzzles every day!

What's next for BridgeDit! Cosy Bridge-Building

More types of bridges, beams and vehicles can be added, along with other gameplay mechanics.
