0. What is the link to your project on itch.io?

1. What are the controls to your game? How do we play?

  Same as the tutorial.
Hover the mouse over the slingshot, press down, and pull back and release to throw a projectile. Make it in the green goal to move on to the next level.
 

2. What creative additions did you make? How can we find them?

 

1. Castles increase in difficulty. I originally made them a lot taller, but I had to remove a lot of walls/slabs so they wouldn't all block the goal.
2. New Projectiles. I added a Fireball projectile that has an orange material. This was created for the following enhancement.
3. UI to select projectiles. There is a button at the top of the screen that toggles from the initial grey projectile (now the rock), and the new orange fireball projectile. This is also available to see in the Slingshot script.
4. Main Menu. There is a menu scene with a start button and background, along with a small script.
5. Altered projectile trail + added particles. The white trail is now a rainbow gradient. This was created with the line renderer in the inspector. I also added a particle system to the ProjectileLine that plays when the projectile is in the air. It is gone by the time the next one comes.

 

3. Any assets used that you didn't create yourself?

  Tutorial assets. Imported TextMeshPro.
 

4. Did you receive help from anyone outside this class or from anyone in this class that is not in a group with you?

  Book tutorial. A question from Piazza helped me create a new launch point because the halo was not working. Used the advice to create a translucent sphere.
 

5. Did you get help from any AI Code Assistants?

  No.
 

6. Did you get help from any online websites, videos, or tutorials?

  I only went in the unity documentation for stuff in the inspector.
 

7. What trouble did you have with this project?

  I tried doing some of the other enhancements at first. I didn't include any incomplete attempts, but I tried adding a shot prediction line. It did not go at the right angle. Also, I had issues for background music and I don't know why. There was an audio listener on the camera, and the audio source on there as well. That's how I remember it went in earlier classes and in some tutorial online, but I didn't get anything.
 

8. Is there anything else we should know?

  As much as I like the detail and reading the book, I find the videos easier to follow along with. Some portions in the book, like for the inspector, are outdated/I can't seem to find the same options. It's also easier for me to understand when I'm listening and watching what's supposed to happen.
