Hello new dev forum :)

I'm working on a project that uses the DepthAPI to map your space in real time (instead of relying on room setup) to decrease setup friction, lower time-to-fun, and increase playspsace area.

Because the game scans as you play, it responds to opening/closing doors, moving furniture, and other changes to the environment.

I'm also using depth for drawing light against the environment. It looks really nice in dimly lit areas.

I'm currently working on meshing so I can use it with Unity's NPC pathfinding. I'll be posting updates this thread. You can learn more and download the game at https://anagly.ph

This looks so fun, what a cool use of the Depth and Passthrough Camera Access APIs! Really excited to see where your project goes, thanks so much for sharing!

I enjoyed playing this game. Such a neat use of the API. Do I recall correctly that you’ve shared how you got it to work?

Finally adding a capture-the-flag mode (plus torso tracking using IOBT!). I'm probably going to lower bullet damage now that players have more damageable surface area. I don't think instant KOs are very fun.

You can also see the Horizon OS 'moved too far popup' interrupting gameplay, something I've made another forum post about.
