My Contributions

In this game project, my inexperience was quite apparent. Recognizing this, I decided to take a proactive approach. I informed my fellow programmers that I would venture into independent learning, using the project as a valuable stepping stone. Given my lack of confidence in completing tasks swiftly within the tight timeframe of six workdays, this became a self-guided learning journey for me.

I implmented various features that made the game fun

I made use of a particle system that produces smoke. Which also changes color. When that happen. The player turns invisible.
I made a that smoothly follows around the player. Before it was simply static.
I made the scooter steering in correct direction likewise with the wheels attached.

I used from what I learned about particle system to attach a new color.

The script below is part of the PlayerBehaviourPlayerBehaviour script, which is connected to a singleton. It involves a boolean variable, EnableInvincibility, which checks against a tag on objects within the player's path that are set to be destroyed. This activation occurs when the water is fully filled.

The designer will set the speed. While attaching the camera behind the player. Then it will smooth it in LateUpdate.

This is a basic script in which the wheels will change direction in which the player presses.

Summary

This game project served as a wake up call, reminding me of the imperative to evolve as a programmer. It highlighted the importance of working both harder and smarter. Although the project wasn't lengthy, I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with fellow programmers, delving into their scripts to implement the features I envisioned.
