Developer here. I built this for my own daily workout but it may be useful for others as well, so I decided to make it open source.

It was built using Godot 3.2 [1] and uses the Oculus Quest hand tracking to free up your hands which is especially important for the pushups.

Here are two videos of the game in action:

Oh wow, didn't realize Quest has hand tracking now. I'm going to give your game a spin!

You have to be on the 12.x firmware and enable it under Experimental features. I just realized that I should probably mention that in the instructions.

Definitely do mention this in the README!

From the title I thought you made a calisthenics VR game where the trainer/competitor was Gal Gadot lol.

My modeling/animation skill wouldn't be up to that task. I am already more than glad that the Wolverine claws came out half decent.

Is there a YouTube video or something I can check out before downloading?

The last two images in the README are links to YouTube videos. Here's the one for the latest version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TnzuIsVT6o

Thanks, I should probably make it a bit clearer that those are videos.

After several questions if this would work on other headsets as well I made some changes and the master branch currently runs on OpenVR as well, which means it will work on platforms that have SteamVR.

Is it within the realm of possibility to use this with a Rift S?

I think so, there is nothing really stopping it from running on a Rift S. I think Godot does support it but I don't have one so I can't try to make it work myself

If you want to give it a try. Godot does support OpenVR so it should be possible to just use the OpenVR plugin instead of the Godot Oculus Mobile plugin

I've pushed some changes today that will make it run on SteamVR, so it should run on a Rift S as well. There is no precompiled binary yet because I still have issues with one of the two controllers not being recognized, but you can try it out if you want.
