TENNISBOT TAKEDOWN

“TennisBot Takedown” is an Augmented Reality game built on top of Snap Inc.’s Lens Studio platform that has players defeat the robots from the DirecTV/Serena Williams commercial over three levels of increasing difficulty.

Current Studios tasked our team with porting their game from Facebook’s Spark AR platform to Snap Inc.’s Lens Studio platform in time for the campaign launch a month later.

The process for porting this project between AR platforms was highly involved. Language differences notwithstanding, the original project’s physics were built using a library called Cannon.js.

Recreating speed and bounce values in a version of Cannon ported to Lens Studio meant we had to spend significant time playtesting up front in development to have the rest of the values that drive the logic be correct.

Additionally because of the maximum compiled file size being 20% less on Snap than Spark (8MB vs 10MB) there was a lot of optimization work that went into porting the game.
