Prince of Unity

Coursera 2D Platformer assignment by Sergey Kubyshin.

I focused on re-creating the smooth movements of classical platformer games such as Prince of Persia. 

Controls: 

• A, D : Move left and right
• W : Jump up
• Spacebar (press and hold): grab a ledge during jump 

Modifications vs. the tutorial:

1. Created a new complete and consitent level
2. Re-skinned the player and all player animations to a humanoid character using sprites from a classic platformer game
3. Enhanced the player character mechanics with lots of new abilities:
   1. Smooth realistic running & turning
   2. Jumping up and sideways from idle and from running
   3. Grabbing to suitable ledges in jump and climbing up 
4. Added realistic falling: small falls cause no harm, larger falls cause loss of health, big falls cause loss of life
