Player Controller

System Summary

The player control is what enables the player to move and interact with the level they've built in the testing mode.

The player controller is what handles player input in the testing mode as well as how the player interacts with the environment existing in the level, it is what handles the logic when certain tile types are hit and all of the different values that can be modified in the editor pertaining to the player (speed, jump height, etc). There are also four different movement presets available for the player, allowing users to easily set their movement type.

Future Work / Risks

List and description of upcoming work/risks.

Future Work:

1. Death Logic
2. Using FPS to make animations
3. Changing hitbox to a rectangle.

Risks:

• Due to how collision detection currently works, the hitbox for the player is still a circle and not a rectangle, currently I am not aware of a fix for collision detection so it doesn't mess up when dealing with a flat hitbox.
