Tower Blocks in C and Raylib: Tower Collapse [Episode 6]
Welcome to Episode 6 of the Tower Blocks series!
In the last episode we introduced custom lighting shaders that gave our cubes real depth. This time we are focusing on what happens after you lose and making it look good.
In this episode, we:
🧱 Add a new `RESETTING_STATE` to the game loop
💥 Animate each block in the tower to shrink and rotate
⏱ Apply staggered delays to create a cascading collapse
🧹 Clean up the tower piece-by-piece before restarting
This means: no more instant restart. The game now reacts to game over with a smooth and satisfying tower collapse. It gives players a moment to breathe and adds visual polish that ties the whole loop together.
