Day and Night Cycle Service

See here.

Day and Night Cycle Filter

The day night cycle filter is represented by a component in the codebase called DayNightCycleComponent.java. It is responsible for giving the dawn,day,dusk and night look of the game. Underneath it uses an OpenGL Shader Language files to accomplish the shading. It hooks in to the game rendering cycle to apply the shading all the while making sure to avoid shading UI components.

More information on the design of the clock and its ideation for Atlantis Sinks may be found here!

User Testing was completed in order for user expectation to be recognised in regard to the clock implementation and design! This paved the way for the various design fidelities.
