During last week’s Hangout we continued development on our endless runner game. We added code to generate continuous hallways, handle memory cleanup of previous wall segments, and automatically restart the game when the player collides with a wall. We also added particle effects to the player.
This week we’ll talk more about how the particle effects work, we’ll add code to keep track of scoring, add an interface for our counter, and make sure sound is working for collisions.
