Getting a Second Wind

We turned in our Beta demo with great success. Yay! Our player spawns in the maze correctly. The camera is at the right height (for some odd reason we struggled with our camera being really short for a while). Our collider is the right size for our player. We collide with walls correctly and don't fall through the floor. We can look correctly with the mouse and move with the keys. Looking with the mouse no longer causes errors with our movement (it seemed the camera was moving but the rotation of the player object was not adjusting with it). We did not include the main menu in the demo, but it links to the game correctly. Our next step is to incorporate the VR elements, which Ryan will be in charge of. Zijian will be working on spawning the monsters next and making them move through the maze on their own. I will be working on spawning the coins in the maze and connecting the separate panels in the main menu to one another and editing their written content. We are so close, but we still have so much more work to do. Here's hoping we keep this momentum going!

Until Next Time,
Avery

Spawning Issues Stitch banging head against wall thanks to https://media.giphy.com/media/12SQ9mDwJGqkRG/giphy.gif. So we may be having some issues. It ends up that having our maze be randomly generated each time may have not been the best idea. Spawning objects into a game with a static map is insanely easy in Unity, so we never thought this would be an issue. However, it's only easy when the map is static. If your map doesn't generate until after you run the program, then you can't drag and drop objects into the game world unless you're planning on hoping that they just magically end up in the right place on the map, if they even end up on the map at all (the part you're using for your terrain that is). It ends up the reason it was really easy to spawn our main character was because we were able to put that object on the first floor piece that's created, a piece we know will never contain a maze wall. So it's complicated enough spawning objects on...

We've tied up all of the loose ends. Our main menu has all the written content saying who was on the team, giving special thanks to any places we received code help, and instructions on how to play the game. Our code is all commented. We have text displaying time and score. Prompts for end game conditions and how to restart the game. All of our ducks are lined up in a row.  Unfortunately, it wouldn't be a real project if everything didn't break down at the last minute. Our AI doesn't move around very well. Our coins still refuse to spawn even when we force the spawn at specific coordinates in the game world (usually the very center). Also, suddenly while trying to figure out the AI movement issue some components that have been working since the very beginning, incl...
