Marble Maze 🎱

A simple Marble Maze game where the player tilts the maze to guide the ball to the exit while avoiding obstacles. Hitting an obstacle results in a loss.

Technical Overview

MazeController

• Tilts the maze using torque physics with angular limits (maxTiltAngle).
• On start, the Rigidbody is configured: all positions frozen, Y rotation locked, gravity disabled, and physics enabled (isKinematic = false).
• In FixedUpdate, keyboard input is read:
  • Vertical (X-axis) → forward/backward
  • Horizontal (Z-axis, inverted) → left/right
• Torque is applied to tilt the platform, then ClampTilt ensures rotation stays within limits and angular velocity is reset (rb.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero).

Ball–Maze Interaction

• Initially, the maze rotation was set directly, ignoring the ball’s physics.
• With physics-based control, the ball could slightly move the maze.
• Maze mass increased from 1 to 100 to reduce unwanted effects, and TorqueStrength adjusted to maintain responsiveness.
• The ball has a Physics Material for realistic bouncing.
• angularDrag left unchanged: too high would dampen player-controlled rotations, too low had minimal effect.
