Would you be interested in getting a shirt like this made? We can do it if there is enough people.
Or if you can come up with a better design, that's good too!
Start off the day with a warm-up
I chose this article because it is extremely timely. You and your 1984 Team are very talented people and have an opportunity to create something special. Just like Netflix, you have your own dream team and your IP (the 1984 book) so now it is time to make sure you have a clear vision of what you want to do for your project.
Read the article, summarize and share your opinion

You will need to present your project for showcase and judged on the following criteria
Content Knowledge and Organization
Presentation is exceptional. Presenter presents information in a logical and interesting sequence. Presenter has a strong understanding of subject matter. Audience members can effortlessly understand important concepts presented. Presenter answers all questions with impressive explanations.
Presentation Skills
Eye contact is held, with minimal return to notes or slides. Presenter uses a clear voice, and pronunciation of terms is accurate. Audience members can hear presenter with ease. Presenter is confident and comfortable. He/She makes necessary movements during the presentation, and hands are never in pockets. Presenter is professionally dressed.
Participation and Teamwork
Every team member actively participates in a well organized presentation. Transitions are brief and smooth between topics and speakers.
PowerPoint and/ or other Visual Aids
Graphics explain and reinforce presentation. The slides are without mechanical error. Text is easy to read and compliments slide background. Information on slides is clear and relevant. Information adds to presentation to help clarify verbal points.
Melee Attack
Create a platform and give it the platform behavior
Add a new Object
Sprite
Name it Hero
Give it Platform Character Behavior
Name the first Hero Animation "Idle"
Create a second animation with your Hero swinging a sword
Name the animation Attack
Open your Attack Animation
Add a second colission mask for the sword.
DON'T GET ALL WILD WITH THE MASK! SIMPLE SQUARES!!!
Create an Enemy
Go to your events
Condition
Variable Value
Create out scene variable
Copy the condition into a new event and change the variable to 1
For your action if condition variable is 0, you want to set your Idle Animation to 0
Change the animation on variable 1 to attack
We want to start the game off with the attack variable set to 0
In the event At the beginning of the scene, delete the action and add change variable value
Attack
Set to
0
Set the Hero to flip
Now set the opposite for the right key
This part feels kind of tricky but whatever
Create a new event
What you want to happen is that after the melee attack animation plays once, it stops and changes the scene variable to 0
This is kind of like the blade we did earlier
The action will be to change the scene variable of attack to 0
Time to add ther attack
Create a new event
We want two conditions
First condition: Key Pressed Z
Second Condition: The current animation of the Hero is not set to the attack (we will be using inverse)
The reason is that if the animation is already set to the attack, you don't need to change the animation
The action you want is to change the scene variable to 1 (from Idle to Attack)
Add a condition Hero in collision with bad guy and trigger once
Now you need to create a sub event so that it's only going to delete when you are in the attacking animation
If you don't, it will always delete them whenever you are in collision
Now add the action selete bag guy in the sub event
