Summary of the changes/work made during the Marathon Jam


- Here the pre-jam prototype : http://www.adelfaure.net/joan_jump/
- The music were made before the jam
- Reworking ASCII display and animation system
- Reworking collision system
- Reworking movement system
- Reworking overall performances and framerate control system
- Made some sort of a generic animated assets loader (with differenciable sequences and frames per file)
- Made some sort of a generic interactive system between the ASCII elements beside collisions
- Made some sort of a generic level function with variating ambiances based on music and color palettes
- Made a plateformer based gameplay/level design -> Passed from a sort of quirky rpg hybrid to a "classic" timed getting coin jumper/runner with possibility of exploring and find hidden items.
- Drawing ASCII (decor and "ground" for each)
