Let Him Cook! – Design | Engineering

Let Him Cook! is an alien cooking sim where players find themselves threatened with an alien abduction unless they can manage to prepare delicious meals for the Martian invaders!

Let Him Cook! was a three week partner project developed for an intro to Unity course at USC.

Design

I facilitated the design of the recipes as well as helped develop the special code that players would need to utilize to solve the puzzles.

Players use the book to translate the alien’s order

Engineering

I implemented the click-and-drag system that players would use to place ingredients on the screen to make their delicious concoction!

Players find the appropriate ingredient on screen, click on it, and drag it to where they want it. This then snaps into place on the rest of the food

I also implemented the scoring system based on how well the player was able to follow the order of the alien.

Players receive a grade based on how well they matched the order of the alien
