My Role
I programmed the Slime's movement, wall jumping, infrastructure for all items, the follower system for coins, some of the enemy behaviors and the crafting system used for combining Items.
Platformer movement
This projects was a culmination of what I had learned making prior platformers so I added Coyote jump for when the input is late, Input memory for when the input is early, half jump for precise jump height, wall jumps and a state machine to keep everything organized.
Items and crafting
I made an interface for the items that allowed the designers to easily add new behaviors to any new item they made making them automatically work, I also was able to finally add a crafting mechanic where 1 item is combined with another when the player attempts to pick up and object while holding another object.
