Clue Mechanic
Unlocks each clue when the correct amount of sheep enter the pen. It keeps track of collected clues and triggers the win condition when all clues have been collected.
Gate Puzzle
Gates use dot product to open away from the player. Opening one gate affects gates nearby.
Sheep Herding
In order to make the herding mechanic more manageable for the player, sheep are assigned a leader. The leader uses the player’s forward vector to flee.
To prevent the sheep from trapping the leader, I implemented a bark function which causes the flock to flee.
Dog Rotation
Uses a line trace to rotate the dog to match the incline
Fence Mechanic
Checks whether the sheep are all inside the fenced in areas, triggering the lose condition or taking the player to the next day.
