Hi, I plan on making a game but before I start I want to know if it’s possible to create this or if I'm wasting my time. The game is based on the viral video on YouTube called "Ninja Cat" if you don't know it Heres a Link.
basically the game is you're a cat and you have to walk but when your owner looks at you, you have to stop walking, and if you get caught walking when your owner looks at you its game over, so I would like to know if this is possible and if it is how can I do it? Thanks. - Hunter Afia

    Didn't watch the video, but from your description I can tell, that this kind of game is 100% possible.

    Yeah, I'm sure it's possible. You'll just have to figure out the game mechanics...

    Oh man! Yes that's so possible! I can already see the mechanics and controls! Great idea, I think it's so crazy it just might work! :3

    yep really possible....you can put a invisible actor constrained to the owners face maybe.

    then when that actor collides with the cat is its in motion then game over. lol idk thats how a noob like me would think of the mechanics

    GL

    EDIT: i pictured it different because i didnt watch the video... so i pictured the owner standing and turning around in 3rd person... but this is cool.... red light green light!

    I searched the link and couldnt find specifically which one you mentioned. However, Its fairly simple(I think) from what you've mentioned..

    So basically what you need to do is create a boolean that says if the owner is looking and then add an if statement. So something along these lines;

    If "Ownerlook.Boolean = true" AND "CatNinja.Motion = greater than 0"

    Game Over.

    else

    do nothing.

    Thats basically what I got from it. Sounds like it could be a pretty fun game. Hope this helps.

    I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with from the one video.

    @KevinCross The idea is mostly from the video, but I used to play with my cat and he would always do this, but its not going to be the same angle, its going to be from the side angle so the cat would be walking to the right of the screen while your owner is looking for him.
