Using Your Portal Gun in Orange Box's Portal

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm John Sexton on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to be learning how to play Portal, a game by Valve Software. A company with which I have no affiliation. So here we can see the blue portal and the orange portal above it. If I go into the blue I come out the orange, which is above where the blue was as you can see there. So you just go into the blue and come out the orange. And that's just how the basic portal gun works. If I wanted to put the blue portal here, I walk out and now I can go in this infinite circle. Where I see my character and a lot of the later puzzles involve kind of mind bending logic puzzles like that. So off we go to the next test chamber. Where things get a little bit more interesting. Now, Portal is a game that was actually developed as a student project by some university students working on the source engine, which is Valve's technology that runs this game. And they took it to a technology software conference and showed Valve what they'd done and Valve was so impressed that they actually hired the entire team of students on the spot.
