Activity: 

1. Installed Unity and Platformer microgame
2. Modified the game according to the inner tutorials
3. Downloaded and imported 2D Game Kit
4. Developed some simple level throughout the 2D Game Kit tutorial series

Notes:

I worked in Unity for the first time. The homework description was different from what I got at the webpage, so I had to do more research and figure out how things work on my own. I just followed along with the instructions. I encountered a few problems while importing 2D Game Kit, but people in the comments helped me fix them. Also, because of the older version of Unity, I cannot build a game using WebGL on Apple Silicon, so I decided not to use it here and build as a general program for Windows instead. 

Invested hours:
