Contributions
○ Visual scripting: Added visual scripting with support for adding scripts from Unreal and connecting game objects to scripts in Unreal. Scripts can be edited live in engine to see the results at once. Scripts are also saved so they can be reset on checkpoints.
○ Player Movement: Most of the running, jumping, animations and camera controls for the player. Responsivity was the main focus as player controls in a platformer can make or break a game.
Testing and tweaking settings for the player and camera was made easier by making all relevant fields into sliders that could be edited live. Such as the double jump force shown in the gif.
○ Customizable rendering pipeline: Support for rendering to and using custom and engine textures for custom materials and post processes
○ Improved particle system: Added support for changing particle shaders and adding more extensive materials
