A very optimized coin made with a lot of shader tricks as the result of years of my research and playing with shader.
- The jump height varies
- Initial phase of the spinning coins varies
- Coin spins with the same speed as it's shadow, but the shadow didn't jump
- Jumps with neither trigonometric function nor if statements but can still jump periodically
- All of the parameters above can also be set to be with the same values as we want.
- Without any C# Component, which means there's neiher Monobehaviour.Update() nor FixedUpdate(). All of it is made with shader.
- With only 1 texture, 1 material, 1 shader (which are the requirement to make rendering with 1 batch possible)
The main problem in optimizing a game is mostly about rendering. Of course, you can make all of this with the default sprite shader that already exist in the engine, and make those animation individually with a C# component. This will still make it rendered in 1 batch since it uses only 1 shader and 1 material which is the default one that comes with the engine. But imagine thousands of Monobehaviour.Update() running from those thousands of instance of C# component. It's overkill. That's why we can use shader. But if we use shader, all of those coins will do it's animation simultaneously like a military march. With the shader in this project, all of those variation is made possible but with a drawback which makes tinting the sprite is not possible anymore. But this won't affect anything since we almost never need to tint a rendered sprite. This is not the only trick. Getting the decimal of Time.time, custom parabole function instead of sine function, etc. are also things a few of many tricks that makes all the above possible.

Very Optimized Coins Shader

Game built for a submission in Ganesha Interactive Media (GIM). Made with Unity Engine (C#, HLSL). Its a hypercasual game implemented with a complex physics system to make the grappling hook feels good. It also uses various OOP Design Patterns such as Observer, Singleton, and more.

Grappler Crashers

A game created as submission for GMTK game jam 2020. This was created when i was still a beginner in Game Development. It was both fun and frustating experience. It's a game where if you collect a cube, it will be combined. Collecting certain cube can make you go faster. It may even do some explosion and destroy some cubes. Overtime the game will be more chaotic and you will have to be more careful.
