Challenges

Develop a dynamic way to generate the turning ground of the game.

How we solved it

• Store the direction of each ground (NEGATIVE_X , NEGATIVE_Z , POSITIVE_X, POSITIVE_Z) beside its center.
• Develop 3 methods drawLeft , drawRight , and drawForward that takes the current ground object and return the new ground (its center and direction).

Future Enhancements

• Use the dynamic way of generating ground to generate the ground dynamically at runtime.
• Add magnet feature in Arcade Mode.
