Update 3/28/17

• Created snowball sprite

Problem:

• Not being able to use / loop snowball using obstacle generator Assumptions:
  1. The snowball is moving and thereby not able to position the snowball correctly.
  2. Used Debug.Log, snowball is not being returned from the objectPool.

Solution:

• Resetting snowball position (did not work)
• Don't use objectPool, just generate and destroy (compensation = memory) [will try]

Update 7/12/17

• Snowball is up and working

Problem fixed by:

• instantiating and destroying the snowball at a spawning and destroying point instead of pooling it. (since snowball is not spawned as much as the pipes, memory is not used a lot)

Next update:

• Work on figuring out how a snowball wont overlap with a pipe so that way theres a way to get by.
  • Make a slide control and make pipes have gaps underneath? (doesn't really solve the problem as the snowball can be spawned under as well but will make the game more challenging).
  • Make a missle weapon that can destroy the snowball? Make it limited to one shot per 5 second so they only have one try?
• Work on a scoreboard such as the Google Play features (look up online).

Update 7/23/17

• Snowball jumping implemented
• Resets jumping when you jump on snowballs (giving the ability of double jump)

Next update:

• Work on a scoreboard such as the Google Play features (look up online).

Next update:
