Release

Version 1.1

Aim through the planet

World Traversal turns globe geometry into an aiming game. Camera, orientation and GPS provide an origin and direction; the app computes the opposite intersection, reveals the exit on a map and compares its distance to the target, solo or in a local duel between two phones.

Availability

Android distribution to come

World Traversal is not offered as a download on this website. Distribution details will be added here once they have been decided.

Mechanic

A straight line through a round planet.

Every round starts from a real position and a measured direction. The result becomes instantly geographic: coordinates, distance and a map reveal where the aim exits.

S—01

Set the target

The game draws a world point, accepts a pin on the map or lets the player explore freely.

S—02

Lock the origin

GPS, camera, accelerometer and gyroscope establish the starting point and direction.

S—03

Commit the aim

The ray travels through the globe and produces a geographic exit point.

S—04

Compare results

Distance to target, final map and scoreboard decide the outcome.
