## Description

Design, implement, and polish a 2D playable prototype that fits one (or more—combinations encouraged) genres of "platformer" or "puzzle".

### Defining Prototype 

So, what is a prototype? A couple definitions:

1. A basic game mechanic with visual polish (a more visually-oriented prototype).
2. A working demo/playground with a more advanced implementation of a game mechanic.

### Updates to Grading Criteria

There's a new requirement to implement a Game Manager and to focus on modularity in your scripts. We mentioned this during [the demo in class on 12/3](https://tcnj.instructure.com/courses/1713568/pages/recorded-class-meetings), and you can see an example in [the Week 15 demo project](https://github.com/jafish/Fall-2020-IMM-360/releases/tag/week15).

### Adhering to the Theme

For this project, unlike the last, there is no *conceptual* constraint. This is more of a genre or formal or mechanical constraint—make a game that fits the "[platformer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_game)" or "[puzzle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_video_game)" genre or does something in between or in combination of the two. Like previous projects, we encourage you to focus on one or two core game mechanics to prototype. In class, games we've looked at that would be good fits for this prompt (because they are quite simple in their interactions but add interest/complexity by combining those simple ingredients in new ways) include:

- [Hundreds](http://playhundreds.com)
