⛳ Golfinity: Procedural Geometry and Infinite Putting

Golfinity takes the concept of mini-golf and applies an infinite procedural generation algorithm. Instead of 18 holes, there are infinite holes. The difficulty scales linearly, transforming from simple straight putts to complex geometric mazes involving ramps, sharp angles, and friction traps. The core loop is trial-and-error optimization: you have unlimited strokes, but the goal is to master the hole.

In 2026, this game is used as a "Flow State" trigger. The lack of a "Game Over" screen removes anxiety, allowing the player to focus purely on the physics of reflection angles and velocity control.

🧠 Cognitive & Physics Skills

The endless course trains spatial reasoning:

• Angle of Incidence: Players must calculate bounces. "If I hit this wall at 45 degrees, I will reflect at 45 degrees." Visualizing these invisible lines is the primary mental task.
• Force Modulation: The mouse drag determines power. Too soft, and you don't climb the ramp. Too hard, and you fly off the map. Developing a muscle memory for "50% power" vs "100% power" takes practice.
• Pattern Recognition: Although random, the holes use modular assets. Recognizing a "U-Turn" module or a "Sand Trap" module allows players to apply previously learned solutions to new contexts.

🎮 Mechanics & Physics Engine

The engine relies on consistent Newtonian physics:

• Friction Surfaces: Sand stops the ball quickly (high friction). Ice allows the ball to slide indefinitely (low friction). Mastering the transition between surface types is key to speed control.
• Gravity Wells: The hole often has a slight gravitational pull, aiding the final putt. However, slopes have gravity too. Putting uphill requires significantly more force than putting on flat ground.
• The 'Out of Bounds' Reset: Falling off the map resets the ball to the previous stable position, not the start. This generous checkpointing encourages risky trick shots.

🏆 Putting Strategy

1. Use the Walls (Bank Shots)

Direct lines are often blocked. Trust the bank shot. Hitting a wall removes some velocity (damping), which can be useful for stopping the ball near the hole. Treat the walls as brakes.

2. Look Before You Launch

On complex levels, scroll the camera or look ahead before shooting. Blind shots usually lead to falling off the map. Plan your route: "Wall 1 -> Ramp -> Hole."
