Activity: Added menu screen, score and high score
Notes:
I was missing a hand sprite, and I could not find it anywhere, so I turned to Bing AI for image generation. It did not want to cooperate, but I managed to get something usable out of it and then edited in Photoshop to fit my needs.
Then I created a basic UI for start screen, score and game over screen. I am storing the score in singleton TransitionManager that has DontDestroyOnLoad. For the high score I found PlayerPrefs and decided it is good enough for my needs.
Another problem one playtester found is that the dropping action is not as responsive as it should be. I changed how input is read and now it feels much better.
Invested Hours:
1 hour - convincing AI to create image I want
1 hour - creating the UI
3 hours - implementing the score and high score
1 hour - fixing the input for better responsivness
Outcome:
handWithseed.png - the generated sprite
