2018 년 평창 동계올림픽부터 우리나라 사람들이 컬링이라는 종목에 큰 관심을 갖기 시작하였다. 하지만 이 종목을 직접 체험하거나 경기를 보기 위해서는 빙판이 있어야 하는 특수성과 비싼 장비, 찾아보기 힘든 경기장 등 여러 열악한 조건들 때문에 결국 올림픽 시즌에만 반짝 관심을 가졌다가 시들어버렸다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 우리는 Unity 라는 게임 엔진을 사용하여 사람들이 쉽게 접할 수 있는 컬링 게임을 제작하였다. 실제 컬링을 게임으로 만들기 위해 컬링에 필요한 도구들을 이미지로 제작하여 Unity 내부에서 저장 후 오브젝트에 입력하였고 물리 법칙을 구현하기 위해 Unity 상에서 방향, 세기, 속도, 충돌들을 프로그래밍하였으며 대한컬링연맹에 나와있는 컬링 경기 규칙서를 활용하여 게임에 적용하였다. 또한 컬링의 진행이 현실적인 운동과 비슷하게 하기 위하여 스크립트 안의 충돌 및 마찰 관련 계수를 조절하였고 이를 이용하여 반복한 결과값들을 수치화 하여 그래프로 작성해보았다. 추가적으로 컬링 게임의 점수판과 카메라 시점 등을 통해서 게임 사용자가 게임 진행에 있어서 도움이 되는 부분을 구현하였고 현실성을 위하여 Arduino 를 이용한 게임 패드를 제작하여 직접 게임하는 듯한 느낌을 들도록 하였다. 최종적으로 게임을 이용하여 컬링에 대한 이해도가 증가하고 사람들이 컬링이라는 비인기 종목에 한 걸음 더 접근할 수 있게 되고, 스포츠발전에 조금이나마 기여할 수 있게 될 것이다.
