Devlog 8: Matrix editing & Camera Movement

So I know I said in Devlog 7, I would only polish some stuff and get ready to ship, but I just couldn’t not add the ability to edit the Matrixes and move the Camera, the first of the two, I was able to do with the help the GridLayout Component, which automatically arranges all it’s children in a grid. I did that by dynamically adding an UI input Element for each Value in the Matrix, and putting in the corresponding Value. And now, you can change the values of each Cell, and when you’re finished, you can hit apply, and now you’ve changed the behaviour of the particles, yay!

Getting the Camera to zoom and move in a way I like, was really hard, probably because I was kind of tired, or maybe because I’m just stupid, who knows. But anyway, I’m using Unitys Input System to geth mouse movements and scrolling, so that I can then read out the value of those in my Script.
The zooming is works like this:

Zoom += Zoom * (ScrollValue/10);
CameraSize = OriginalCameraSize * Zoom

And the camera movement works by turning the mouse position an the screen into a position in the World Space, and multiplying it wiht the suqre of zoom, so that the movement gets slower and slower when you zoom in.

There is even more to it than this, but it would be a pretty long Devlog if I explained everything, so I guess next time I shouldn’t wait 8h to write a Devlog. (:
