🦍 GorillaBlocks - The Classic Block Puzzle in Stunning 3D
GorillaBlocks is a mostly vibe coded open-source 3D clone of the timeless block-stacking puzzle game, built using the powerful Gorilla3D rendering engine. Experience the famous game from the 80s like never before with modern graphical effects and optimized performance.
✨ Key Features
This project serves as an excellent demonstration of Gorilla3D's capabilities, utilizing several advanced rendering techniques:
- Bloom Effect: Adds a vibrant, soft glow to the game elements, enhancing the visual fidelity.
- Different Materials: Showcases various material properties for diverse block appearances.
- Shader Coding: Custom shaders are implemented to achieve unique visual effects.
- Mesh Instancing: Optimizes rendering performance by drawing multiple identical blocks with a single draw call.
🎮 Controls and Input
GorillaBlocks supports both traditional keyboard input for desktop platforms and intuitive touch gestures for Android devices.
