Today I was tasked with essentially a mini game jam project in which I will be teaming up with Lee and Jessie. The objective of the jam is to use all of the features that we have been given so far using code. These features iclude generalt mechanics of running, jumping, picking up objects, having a timer and score count as well as using attraction code for eneamies and also firing something which in our case will be a misile to kill the player.
The game we are using as inspiration for this project is called N++ which is a widely renowned plat former game created by Metanet Software.

This game is their major, they started with “N” in 2004 then created “N+” in 2008 and finally “N++” in 2015, the game itself is a puzzle plat former in which the player must complete the level by reaching the goal within the time limit, however it is not always as simple as it sound as there will be keys to collect, enemies will chase the player, missiles till be fired at the player and mines will be placed around the levels meaning some surfaces are untouchable.
The concept of this game includes all of the thing that we must use throughout this project.
