Monday

I struggled getting started today because I had to strip back the code we were given in the example since that was a side on game. This was quite fun because I got a little bit of a better understanding of how phaser and javascript work. I decided to look online for how to get the movement to work but it was very difficult to find a video or page that showed me how to get the movement working without either going massively in depth or not showing what I actually want.

I was able to get movement working today but it took longer than I was hoping and expecting. I also found some code on the phaser examples on how to get the character the to look where the pointer is. It also has all the code for spawning bullets so I will definitely use this to make it work.

Today after the drop in session me and Liam stayed behind to try catch up on a bit of work which was helpful for me since he had used javascript before so could help me get the character facing towards the cursor and making it so the player and cursor could not go off screen.
