Electrify

A 2D physics game about controlling a particle around a map using various electromagnetism principle.

Introduction

During our class on electromagnetism, we was fascinated about the interaction between various concepts such as charges, conduction, etc. Finding a solution for a question related to electromagnetism concepts is like solving a puzzle with a handful of tool like the Right Hand Rule and Right Curl Rule. In addition, we are fascinated by the prospect of physics puzzle games, inspired by playing the game Brain Dots™. Thus, we come up with an idea of creating an electromagnetism simulation puzzle game to share with the class and reinforce our learning.

Objective

The game, developed in Unity, will features a variety of puzzle related to concepts in electromagnetism, including but not limited to: repulsion and attraction, rotating electric rod, conduction and insulation, circular motion on uniform magnetic field.

Status

Realistic calculation of magnatic field and electric field of sphere, plane, and uniform
Realistic approximation of magnetic field and electric field of rod (claculated by splitting rod into point-like segments)
Objects which can block electric field and magnetic field
Various UI elements to enhance the user experience
Handcrafted iconography and UI elements
13 levels testing various concepts of repulsion/attraction, conduction/insulation, magnetic/electric field, etc.
