Activity: Implementing one page design
Time spent: 2h

I received a one page design and took a look at it. At first glance it seemed quite confusing, but once I realized that purple boxes are enemies, everything clicked into place. The design is actually quite nice. It's a simple level with two "floors", each floor containing a simple puzzle. I will have to do some programming to implement the puzzles, but it doesn't seem too difficult.

The most logical first step from my point of view is building the level. I painted the level using tile palette and placed the pass-through platforms. I had to make sure the jumps proposed in the game design are doable. Once I was finished with placing stuff, I repositioned the background image and created a thick border around the level, so the player can only see solid walls outside of the level rooms.
