Research & Analyse Possible methods:
✖ Follow to the Tutorial on Youtube (Not the one that we want + Need Always Debugs)
✖ Unity Pre-set Character controller (Large amount of coding → hard to editor)
✔ Refer to the Example in UnityDocumentation _ ScroptingAPI
Algorithm Design
Build Package of PlayerMovement Function
Write tutorial for how to setup the package
Personal Dialog
To let the character move left and right is easy, but moving more smoothly is a big problem, as we cannot just add the forces on the character movement script. So here we spend almost a week to find the solution, the method is to connect with the input manager with the pre-setting of the unity. Except can let the walking movement looks more smoothly, and also can reduce the running time of the code to prevent any delay.
26/9/2022 - 30/9/2022 (Week 13):

Update Package of PlayerMovement Function
Update the tutorial for how to setup the package
Personal Dialog
It is easy to make jumping function if without any animation, but with animation, there will be a bug that the animation cannot run smoothly. Also for the animation running time, we need to find and set the best setup for the animation. So here we spend a week fixing the problems and setup the character.

After testing the game Demo, we find that we need to also adding the Player Movement Up and down by using Ladder, so that it can increase the playability & difficulties for the whole mapping
PlayerMovement Process: 80%
23/1/2023 - 27/1/2023 (Week 30):
The Player Movement is completely done, to do this function, we just use Trigger to check if the player is using the ladder or not, if yes, just remove the gravity of the player and add/decrease the y-axis force for the player.
This week I will keep working on the Items Manager Function, but I'm not working on the Coding as the coding of this part is already done, I will start to design the Items and it's UI, aim:
Items Name
Items ToolTips Description
Crafting Recipe
PlayerMovement Process: 100%
Items Manager (UXUI Design) Process: 20%
30/1/2023 - 3/2/2023 (Week 31):
This week I will keep working on the Designing Items Manager Function, Basically most of the Items is designed according to the background story, and I made a list of table for our team to easy to know what items we have.
And Next week I will start working on the pixel art design for each item.
Items Manager (UXUI Design) Process: 60%

Writing FYP Phase II Process Report + ppt
20/2/2023 - 24/2/2023 (Week 33):
Oh No... Our professor remain us we should decrease fourth levels into one, as he thinks that we will not have enough time to finish fourth stage before the end of Sem B.
I agree with that, and because of that, I will start to redesign the whole game mapping and the background story...
27/2/2023 - 3/3/2023 (Week 34):
ReDesign Process: 0%
I still have no idea how should I change the story and the tilemap but still keep the crafting system...
6/3/2023 - 10/3/2023 (Week 35):
ReDesign Process: 10%
As for the background story I still have no idea, so I try to work on design the mapping first, to see if I can "jump out of the box"
13/3/2023 - 17/3/2023 (Week 36):
ReDesign Process: 40%
Finally, I comes out with some of the ideas how to design the levels, but there is not too much time left of Sem B, so I think I need to speed up the design process...
20/3/2023 - 24/3/2023 (Week 37):
ReDesign Process: 50%
The First Draft is done, with designing the map according to the new story background and the original items that we made.
Next week I will start working on re-drawing the TileMap materials.
27/3/2023 - 31/3/2023 (Week 38):
ReDesign Process: 70%
This week I'm working on drawing with the interactive items that will appear on the map (that players can collect / use items), but I think I also need to add some codes base on the items manager for this new design.
3/4/2023 - 7/4/2023 (Week 39):
ReDesign Process: 80%
Finally, all of the drawings is done, now I need to start working on the code according to the new game environment

Exam Week!!! BUT I WILL NOT STOP WORKING ON THE FYP PROCESS!!! As we just have one week left to submit the process!!!! The Achievement System is done, but I still need to make some testing for the game to ensure the game can run all the functions that we made. Hope it can run with no bugs :)
Achievement System Process: 100%
1/5/2023 (Week 42):
Times Up, "Pens" down~ Time to submit the project and the report. Luckily all the function is working fine, hope I can get a good grade on this FYP.
