- used chatGPT for help with coming up with ways to draw aiming line for player, I cannot link to the chat log as I was not logged into an account when I did it so it didn't save

The following code located in the DrawLineBetweenPoints script is what it helped me with:

        Vector3 mousepoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

        mousepoint.z = 0f;

        Vector3 direction = (mousepoint - point1.position).normalized;

        Vector2 dividedPoint = point1.position + (direction * 2f / refScript.maxDuration * refScript.clickforcetime); //mainly this line

        mousepoint = mousepoint / 2;

other notes:

- avoid the red (level 10) didn't take too long, added some color changing to make it on par with the other levels (at least the checkpoint and door hit ones)

- on sticky walls, you will occasionally slip off them due to clipping the hitbox and moving out of it. This isn't the walls not being sticky, you were just going to fast

- You can get stuck on the black hole level, I've tried to make it as foolproof as possible, but considering it was in the example game aswell, I'm not working on it further

- you can only get stuck on the two black holes not in a wall, as the third lets you shoot yourself out of it

- Didn't do level 3 because Don't wanna

- Missiles don't do much to the player when they land, is intentional as nothing in rubric mentioned knocking player away from goal or resetting them

- bloom is chosen post processing effect, applied to the whole game

- I think it looks neat and aesthetically competent, at least I prefer it over the example game
