December 2025

DISC WARS is my final project for the Unreal Gameplay class I took in Fall 2025!

Modeled after the “games” scene of Disney’s Tron: Legacy, you play as a program of the Grid.

Earn 5 points to win your freedom, or face permanent de-resolution.

Playthrough video (with audio and such) coming soon!


Throwing
- Press and hold left mouse, flick your mouse, and release!
- Makes the throwing feel much more immersive
- Projectiles have dynamic velocity based on complete character rotation and time
- Hard to aim, added challenge
Dying
- One hit is enough to kill the player
- The player is out of commision for 3 seconds, then they will respawn
- Better be fast with your Deflect Ability as your enemy won't let you recover
Deflecting
- The player is able to use right mouse to deflect
- The top right corner of the UI shows the recharge time
- The video below shows a lengthened deflection time for testing/showcase purposes (normally 0.25 seconds)
Breaking the Floor
- Players are able to break the floor (given their disc has enough speed)
- Discs bounce twice then hone back to the thrower
- A possible strategy is to try and break the 4 floor tiles your opponent stands on to spawn trap them
- Be careful not to lose your discs to the void...
Game Over
- Once one player reaches 5 kills, the game is over
- An initial message appears to notify the winner
- A second message and timer counts down to send both players back to the main menu and close the session
