Updated the github page and exported the files for shipping: https://github.com/lima6-tech/Hackpad2

Designing the case
Finished designing the Hackpad case - next up is firmware

• Redid the PCB and schematics
• Added a acrylic layer for a window to the case
• Added a “cover” layer to hide the screws

Designing schematics and PCB

Designed the Hackpad schematics and PCB. Tried to add a rotary encoder but not sure if anything has even been done correctly.

Mini game 5
Completed mini game 5, which is a timing mini game where the player has to “stop” the pizza slice at the right time

Bug fixes
Fixed the bug where the timer shows a negative number.

New mini game

Created a new mini game where the player has to dodge falling obstacles.

Adjusted framework
Adjusted the main Global and Timer scripts to better support more mini games.

First prototype

Made the first prototype of the game.

• Experimented with the gravity switching mechanic. The player can switch the gravity of the room.
• Added spikes and crates to test with the physics
• Drew a quick tileset for the game.

Bug Fixes and shipping
Fixed some bugs then put the itch.io page together for shipping

Audio and Settings
Added audio to the game and added the settings page. The settings page just contains custom sliders to control the audio buses.

Win and Lose screen
Added a win screen for when all mini games are complete, and a lose screen when all lives are lost. Both screens are similar to the title screen.

Features:

• Win screen: added a particle effect for confetti
• Lose screen: replaced the animation with a game over animation

Minigame 3
Completed mini game 3 - a reaction game where you move to catch a falling coconut. The location is randomised each time you play.

Minigame 2
Finished mini-game 2, the clicker mini-game. Adjusted the script to make is more streamlined than the one in the tutorial. The location of the waffles is randomised, and they are also animated.

Minigame 1
Completed the first mini game - a mini platformer. Also overhauled the timer logic and in-between screen script.

Features:

• Animated sprites for the apples and player (fully animated idle, moving and jumping)
• Animated timer in the corner to show the time.

In-between screen
Created the in-between level screen. The lives are represented with pulsing waffles.

Title Scene
Finished the title scene. Spent longer than I expected playing around with the UI.

Features:

• Functioning text buttons which tint when hovered over and pressed
• Parallax-scrolling background (with what is meant to be a waffle pattern)

Redid section
Overhauled the entire mushroom sector with new and more exciting puzzles and challenges. The difficulty has been increased.

This update includes:

• Bug fixes - fixed some fade transition bugs.
• Updated springs - updated the (mushroom) springs to make them more flexible. Changed the boost from just y to Vector(x, y) so the spring can bounce the player to the left or right.
