Tasks Completed

• Fixed bug that affected timer size and placement
• Fixed bug regarding highlighting
• Added fade in fade out between levels
• Revamped player select

• Added in new cacti assets (new textures aswell!)
• Added player colours
• Added player indicators
• Added new TRAIN event - Out n In

Challenges

• Faced a weird bug where the collider on the train detected players in the sense that the player couldn’t walk through it, however it didn’t detect onCollisionEnter events.
• Faced issue with highlighting to find MeshRenders because of the nesting of prefabs, some are nested deep in the prefab and some are on the top level
• Getting to run timed events was tricky to figure it out
• Coroutines are hard to work with
