Prototype Development

 

I started my prototype by designing the assets that would be that surface upon which the player would move and the player itself. To create the ground surface i used game object > plane and then I proceeded to edit the colour and material of the surface to achieve the desired effect for the game. Secondly I went about creating the player character using a series of game objects known as cubes and a sphere.  By editing the shape of these game objects I was able to create a humanoid block shape that the user would control. By creating a folder called player and sticking each one of the assets (with exception the the surface) into this folder which was within the hierarchy, I was able to give each game object one rigidbody component and one playercontroller.cs script for the entire body's individual parts by assigning these components and scripts directly to the folder. With the skills I had learnt from the Unit 3  tutorials I have been able to implement all the necessary skills for the prototytpe such as jumping and moving the game along so the player will be forced to jump over the obstacles.

There were times at which I struggled especially in regards to the player itself as when I originally had the player jump the first issue I encountered was the entire body falling apart into its original pieces and the second was that the body would drag out to the left and out of bounds but I have not set an out of bounds "Game Over" as this was not intended to be a part of the prototype.
