Week 5: Tilemaps and Scrolling; Audio, Music, SFX

Check-in: Progress on 2D Games

Pairs of teams should get together and discuss what you've been up to with your 2D game. What have you implemented so far? What are the roadblocks you're up against? Can you figure out together a way to solve them or work around them by tweaking the design?

What has teamwork been like? Can you think of ways to improve it or make it more equitable?
