[slogan]This is what Grids did for us today. What can Grids do for you?[/slogan]
Developer: Kevin Marais (App Factory)
Our first game on a polar grid! This is a toggle game, another variation on lights out. In this variation, you have to drag to affect either a ring or a sector. All the cells in the ring or sector will flip, except the cell where you started the drag itself. Other grids usually use sprites to for rendering. Since the sprites in a polar grid are different depending on the ring in which they are in, we opted for OpenGL rendering instead. The map is enhanced with extra information to make this rendering straightforward (so you can ask the map for start angle, end angle, inner radius and outer radius for each cell). We also added a bit of waviness for fun 😉
