Not Portal - Attempt at replicating portal in Unity


This is a demo of a Portal clone built in Unity for an CS independent study course.

This was a group project where Kiru worked on the portals, LoveTheBirds worked on the levels, and NickIsSwag worked on the movement.

This took 2 weeks to make so mind how rough and broken it looks. We don’t plan on coming back to this project.

Over the two weeks, we had to work on the project, I worked on getting portals to work. It was a complex concept to tackle since you must display the other side of the portal and properly teleport the player to the other side. While not working that great in the final build, I could fix the portal camera and player orientation if we had another week. Regardless of if the camera and direction of the player were working, it was more important to get held item teleportation to work, so I’m glad I got that working for the puzzles. I used this video to help me learn how to make the portals in Unity https://youtu.be/cuQao3hEKfs. If I could fix one of my mistakes with this project, it would be to be generally more informed about Unity scripting, as it took a lot of work to research some of my issues.
