Devlog 2 (MOVING PLATFORMS)

• Factorised the home page into a smaller file with 4 helpers scripts for collissions, platforms, the player, and the world.
• Added platforms which move in a circular motion
• Fixed bug where the player would fall off the those platforms
• Switched the platforms that move in circles to take an input of degrees instead of radians in the config table to make it more readable and easily customisable
  NOTE: I’m focusing on creating all the functions for different parts so that building the map becomes easy
• Made it so you can add text labels to platforms

Devlog 1 (PLATFORMER BASICS)

(My first platformer so learning the basics)

• Created a basic web platformer using phaser

• Gave arrow keys control over the player (WASD and mobile don’t work YET)

• Experimented with static platforms

• Created a moving platform

• Added camera following to allow for a platformer world that’s bigger than the screen

• Added custom textures to allow for sprites rather than dynamically created parts/player using Phaser’s built in rectangles, which allowed for the addition of collision groups
