This week, I completed the code for our challenge mode, including bird movement, gravity, generating the pipes and gaps, collision detection, and score tracking. I also ensured that everything worked smoothly when uploading to the rpi without displaying errors. In addition, I spent time refining the mechanics to make the gameplay feel smooth and responsive. After meeting with the TA to test play the game, I received helpful feedback on how to better engage users and made several adjustments, such as improving font readability and refining various UI elements. I am currently on schedule with the project plan. In the next week, I plan to physically build the vending machine by laser cutting the wood board and creating the first prototype of our final product before Wednesday. If time allows, I will also begin working on our website deployment.
