Week 3 - jnoll4/tech190 GitHub Wiki

Week #3 This third week started to give me a lot of problems. I find it hard to search specifically for the thing that I am looking for as I do not particularly know all the terms that would come up with the right results, and if I did I feel like I would have already known how to solve my problem at that point. My main goal was trying to get my bowling ball powerup for the flappy bird game working, but I seemed to encounter quite a few problems, and ended up settling for a decent bit of compromises. The feature mainly does what I want it to do, but with less pizazz then what my original idea was. I could not for the life of me figure out how to a) spawn the powerup randomly while having the playing be able to pick up and attain it, and how to get the ball to knock over the pipe. I ended up for just having the ball destroy the pipe object and having a cooldown on the powerup. I'm happy enough with the end result, but I will need to probably ask a tutor on finding out how to do certain things, especially when it comes to powerups.
