Gambit is a game about an unfortunate player who got caught and brought into an evil mastermind’s gameshow. Through televisions around the game, the player can travel to different levels and complete a task, ranging from finding collectibles around a level, or just making it to the end of a level.

For this project, I was responsible for creating a majority of the code in the game, including a system that teleports the player a short distance forwards that also prevents them from teleporting out of bounds. Additionally, as this game is isometric, I had to create the PlayerController to adapt to an isometric style of gameplay, which utilizes Quaternion.Euler() to adapt to an isometric world; in essence, it converts the directions the player moves 45 degrees to the left.

• Initializes the variables and makes them public to ensure they are easily editable.

• Initialize telepos as the teleporting point the player will teleport to.

• If the player presses q, and they are able to teleport, they will teleport to the position of the teleporting point in front of the player.

• The IENumerator is called to set the cooldown for teleporting for however long the player sets the value to in the parameters.

• Set movement, a Vector3D variable, equal to the horizontal position and vertical position of the player’s input.

• Use Translate variable with Quaternion.Euler() to shift the player’s movement to the left 45 degrees to the left, making them move in the same direction as their isometric view.
