Inspiration
AP Physics had given me the inspiration to make electrosimulation, originally planned to be a puzzle game the lack of time had resulted it in being more barebones than I would have liked though the framework for a puzzle game is present.
What it does
Its a simulation of circuits and how resistors can affect it. It quickly solves circuits and displays neat visuals along the way.
How we built it
I initally started with the grid based building system for ElectroSimulation, then worked to the circuit solver and finally the minimal ui.
Challenges we ran into
The UI caused a LOT of problems along with the circuit solver. It took plenty of effort to fix the ui and fine tune the circuit solver which had used up plenty of time. There is a problem currrently that the menu sometimes overshadows the ui due to screen size variations
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The circuit solver and how neat and simplistic the entire thing is.
What we learned
I had ended up learning more about recursion for solving scenarios with nodes but also something much simpler, the fact I can scale down the ui.
What's next for ElectroSimulation
As previously mentioned ElectroSimulation was planned to be a puzzle game but due to the lack of time I had to suffice with a more barebones version. If continued the framework for making a puzzle game is present and would be rather simple to accomplish.
