Programming
We started with a fresh new project and started putting our C# scripts and Visual Scripts together. We were able to program the very basic gameloop where we can already run around, shoot each others hats off and pick up hats that are on the ground. If a player gets the maximum amount of hats the game ends.
We also playtested various aspects of the game and changed them around once we had a merged project. These changes include the velocity of the bullets, player move speed, the spawn rate of hats, how fast hats despawn after spawning, etc.
There were also a couple of bug fixes and tweaks! Players can no longer shoot their own hats off, each player is assigned a color to distinguish themselves from the others, and more.
Finding out how to link visual scripting in Unity and C# scripts was a major research hassle for both programmers, but with the power of friendship and plenty of coffee we were able to find out what we needed to.
