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

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

  Pull the ball back by dragging on the slingshot - release it to launch the ball! Your goal is to get a ball to touch the green area in each building.
 

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

  -Added some header text for the levels as well as simple tutorial/logo text on the first level.
-Made the projectiles "explode" on impact - this is done by freezing their physics, changing the material and modifying their size, creating a "push" against other castle tiles. After the explosion, the camera waits for a moment before allowing the player to launch another projectile.
 

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

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

  Yes - I briefly asked Arsenii Kyrychenko (previously in this class) to look over a script which was rife with errors. It turned out that I just forgot to capitalize a couple things.
 

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

  yes - Google's AI search summary helped me figure out how to use GetComponent() to change the projectile's material.
 

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

7. What trouble did you have with this project?

  I, once again, underestimated how long it would take me to get through the tutorial videos. In addition, I badly messed up the followcam script at one point and had to look up the way to rveert my changes in Rider, since undo was unintuitive and didn't work well. I also felt like I was going on many wild goose chases figuring things out in general.
 

8. Is there anything else we should know?

  I feel like I'm doing something wrong with how long these assignments are taking me.
