Development checklist

Review Files changed and check off the following:

• General review to clean up your changes. Then,
• Modular: Are you touching the scene file? If so, can you limit your changes to prefab files instead?
• Editable: Has any configuration been moved into ScriptableObjects, so that modified values persist even after exiting Play mode?
• Debuggable: Do you have debug views for the prefabs/systems that you are creating?
• Update readme with new pull request.

How it works

Explain what you did, how you did it, and why you did it. Also any lessons that might be useful to others.

(Note to self: it's easiest to do a stream-of-consciousness writeup of what you did.)

In this pull request, I got to work replacing the placeholder resource cubes with actual assets.

There are 8 in total, but they required some shopping around in my polyperfect asset pack:

Wheat:

Water:

Sugar cane:

Stone:

Wood:

Iron ore:

Copper ore:

Coal:

Once the assets were selected, I made some minor adjustments so that the player collides with appropriate resources.

The player shouldn’t be able to walk on water, or walk through trees and stiff sugar canes, but they should be able to walk through other resources such as ores and stones.

I also added a scaling script to scale the trees by random amounts, to give some visual variety.

After selecting the resource assets, it became clear that a perspective camera would point out the unappealing flat-ness of my game:

Factorio hides this visual dimension with an orthographic camera, and I sought to do the same. Gameplay is 2-dimensional, so no need to complicate graphics:

With this change, at some point I may need to allow for zooming of the camera.
