New project RGB

Starting a bew project. 

RGB - Red Grav Blue

Gravity and momentum based space combat game. Basically VS Asteroids.

Notes to follow.

Also on the drive into work I think I figured out how to solve my infinite platform problem in Doo Doo Jump.

I went with a trigger based solution. It has flaws based on sending messages and the ability of the Player to drive the platforms into and out of the trigger repeatedly.

- Add "distance traveled" nodes. Will also keep score based on this value instead of platform contact.

- Turn on velocity clamping.

One Way Collision = No Collision

I've been noodling on one way collision for Doo Doo Jump for a little over a week now. Just realized that for what I intend to do I actually don't need collision.

Part of the flaw in my thinking is I was approaching the problem too literally. Another issue is I started with an example scene and started adapting it before really settling my design. That's what I get for not writing a design doc.

However, the biggest issue is I'm still getting into the swing of learning how to use all the tools at my disposal in Unity.

Here's my new solution/design.

- Character has an empty game object on the bottom.

- Platforms have no collision and have thin trigger volumes.

- On Enter triggers JUMP animation

- Animation OnComplete sends message.

That's the basics. Will provide the working solution when I post the game.
