To start this project we wanted to implement the core mechanics of our game along with foundational assets. From there, we can start creating the map that the game will take place in.

This includes:

Setting up the project on GitHub,

Creating a movement script that includes left and right movement in response to player AD/Arrow keys,

Adding basic jump and spin jump controls using W/Up arrow and S/Down arrow respectively,

Drafting the first level, including obstacles,

Creating models such as a bag of chips, a small pipe, and an animated rat.

Initially merging the GitHub project proved more difficult than expected. We all started working in our own projects, instead of individual branches of a single project. This caused some difficulty due to differing asset names and personalised project parameters. To avoid this in future projects we will create a base project before starting work on it.
