Abstract
ArchiLeapVR is a first-person platformer in Virtual Reality (VR) with an in-game level editor. The artifact is developed in my custom C++ game engine using OpenXR for VR and its goal is to allow rapid level design for the game in VR. Designers can create maps for the game and quickly switch between edit and play modes to allow rapid iteration on levels. The editor allows operations such as creating new objects, translation, rotation and scaling of existing objects, and cloning objects, all using VR controls in a manner that is intuitive in accordance with the affordances of VR controllers.
