What I contributed.

I was one of the programmers for Shuffled. I worked on the card mechanics, and made sure that the deck drew and shuffled correctly. I also worked on the code for restarting the game, so that it didn't break the game when someone restarted it. I helped fix most of the bugs in the game, and I also worked on the movement code somewhat, and helped to make sure the collisions worked correctly. I also helped make sure that the boss codes work, when I had time.

What I contributed.

I was one of two main artists on the game.  I created assets for the game such as the background, walls, playing board, cards, banners, and statues.  I also made both splash screens with the help of Dylan for the main menu one since we used his concept art that I cleaned up.  I worked with Tyler and the team to get those splash screens implemented.  I also tried my best to keep the team together by encouraging communication constantly.  I consistently posted on our Facebook page asking how other team member tasks were going and I always asked if anyone needed help with stuff.

Taylor Harrington Weekly Update 11/25

This past week I've been working on finishing touches of art assets, and working with code to get everything into the game properly.  The team and I have also been preparing for our video and presentation and I've been communicating with the team about how everyone's final tasks are coming along.

Taylor H Weekly Update 11/19

I've finished the main menu and controls splash screens and am now implementing the controls text into them.  I also redesigned some environment art such as the banners and backgrounds, to better reflect the game and give better indication of getting a flush and level changing.
