Reflection

Our successes:

• Able to implement floating platforms that can be entered from below
• Learned git skills during the development process of the project
• Multiple monsters to add more challenges to the game
• Resolving conflicts and fixing bugs with the help of each other to develop the game
• Refractored the code base so that monsters, characters and platforms can be reused throughout the game
• Added sound effects and background music to the game

Challenges:

• Masuma ran into conflicts in files when there are changes made to existing branch
  • Solution: Had a call with sophie and recloned the remote repo to solve the issue
• When pulling changes from remote, sprite sheets did not show up in local
  • Solution: the metadata of the sprites were ignored by Git LFS. After removing the setting from git ignore file the issue was solved
• Claire ran into 90 conflicts when trying to bring in the changes on main into her feature branch
  • Solution: Resolved each conflict manually
• Jessica was not able to view the sprite designs when pulling from the main branch
  • Solution: Met with TA Faris to resolve the problem

What we learned:

• How to work collaboratively using github
• How to add music to our game
• How to work with sprites in a game
• How to add animation to characters in the game
• How to programme the camera so that it follows the main character

Future revisions:

• Give the prince more abilities such as become invisible to make the game more variant
• Add item system so the player can choose what weapon they want to use
• Implement more monsters in the game to make it more challenging
• Add an ending screen
