Contribution Breakdown 贡献分工
Shovel 铲子
This script manages the shovel's digging functionality. Mounted on the shovel head, it detects collisions with diggable surfaces to ensure that holes are only created when the shovel is actively used, enhancing immersion and precise control. Additionally, the script adapts to different environments by dynamically identifying ground objects.
该脚本负责管理铲子的挖掘功能。它挂载在铲头上，能够检测与可挖掘表面的碰撞，确保只有在铲子被主动使用时才会生成坑洞，从而提升沉浸感和操作精确度。此外，脚本还能动态识别地面对象，使其能够适应不同的环境。
Dirt Hole 土坑
This script controls the lifecycle of dirt holes created by the shovel, ensuring they disappear after a set time to optimize performance. It also prevents overlapping dirt holes by removing older ones when new ones are created in the same area. These features maintain a clean and organized scene, enhancing the gameplay experience.
该脚本控制铲子挖掘产生的土坑生命周期，确保它们在设定时间后消失，以优化性能。同时，它防止土坑重叠，当同一区域生成新坑时，会移除旧坑，从而保持场景的整洁有序，提升游戏体验。
Bubble Spawner 气泡生成器
This script manages the spawning of evil bubbles, ensuring they appear randomly within a defined area at dynamic intervals. It limits the maximum number of bubbles to maintain balance and tracks their lifecycle to allow continuous gameplay.
该脚本管理邪恶气泡的生成，确保它们在设定区域内随机出现，并以动态间隔生成。同时，它限制气泡的最大数量以维持游戏平衡，并追踪其生命周期，以保证游戏的连续性。
Evil Bubble Behavior 邪恶气泡行为
This script defines the behavior logic of evil bubbles, including their movement, target-seeking, and interaction with objects. The bubbles move toward the closest target, either normal plants or the White Plant King, and deal damage or destroy the target upon collision. Random movement is used when no target is found, and bounds are checked to ensure bubbles stay within the designated area.
该脚本定义了邪恶气泡的行为逻辑，包括移动、目标追踪及与物体的交互。气泡会朝最近的目标移动，目标可以是普通植物或白色植物王，并在碰撞时造成伤害或直接摧毁目标。当未找到目标时，气泡会进行随机移动，同时检测边界，确保其始终停留在指定区域内。
Music & Sound Design 音乐与音效设计
The audio design, created using Cubase, focuses on enhancing the magical and otherworldly atmosphere of the game. The background music (BGM) combines space-like white noise with layered string instruments to evoke the feeling of being under a starry sky in an alien realm. Harp sounds are used to mimic the act of watering plants, while woodwind instruments are employed to create maturity cues for plants, with distinct but thematically connected tunes for normal plants and the White Plant King. A bell chime serves as the notification sound for the portal, and Shakers are used to craft interactive sound effects such as digging, planting, and other actions.
游戏的音频设计由 Cubase 制作，旨在强化其魔幻与异世界氛围。背景音乐（BGM）融合了宇宙感的白噪音与层叠的弦乐，营造出仿佛置身星空下的异界体验。在交互音效方面，竖琴声模拟了浇水的动作，木管乐器用于植物成熟的提示音，其中普通植物和白色植物王分别拥有独立但风格统一的旋律。此外，传送门的通知音由钟声呈现，而摇奏打击乐（Shakers）用于塑造挖掘、种植等交互音效，增强沉浸感与反馈体验。

Reflection 项目总结
This project was an enriching experience in AR game development and collaboration. Overall, my tasks, including implementing the digging mechanic, generating evil bubbles, and designing music and sound effects, were completed smoothly. However, the development process also presented challenges that offered valuable lessons.
One of the main shortcomings was the omission of protective plants with offensive capabilities, a feature we originally planned. Due to limited time and resources, we were unable to implement this mechanic, which would have introduced a layer of strategy to the gameplay. Without it, the game lost some of the depth and variety that could have made the experience more engaging for players. In future projects, better time management and prioritization would help ensure that such important features are not left out.
Another challenge stemmed from miscommunication within the team during development. At one point, a team member made changes to the original plan without informing the rest of the group. This led to work being done on features that were either unnecessary or incompatible with the final implementation. While we ultimately resolved the issue and aligned our efforts, it caused delays and inefficiencies. To address this, I took the initiative to encourage regular progress updates, which improved coordination and helped us move forward. This experience reinforced the importance of maintaining clear and open communication throughout the project. Moving forward, I plan to actively promote transparency and collaboration within any team I work with to avoid similar issues.
Despite these setbacks, our project largely achieved its initial goal of creating an engaging AR gardening experience. We successfully implemented key features such as the portal system and tool-based interactions, which blended the real and virtual worlds effectively. The visual and audio design also contributed significantly to immersing players in the magical atmosphere, aligning with our creative vision.
This project also reinforced the importance of adaptability. While we couldn’t realize every aspect of our initial plan, we focused on delivering a cohesive and enjoyable experience within the given constraints. The ability to pivot and prioritize proved crucial in ensuring the project’s success.
Overall, this experience taught me to balance ambition with practicality, foster effective teamwork, and remain flexible in the face of challenges. These lessons will guide me in future game development endeavors.
