Platforms

So one thing I just realised it that a plaform for the game will also have to be decided before any major development can be implemented , this is because almost all of the code behind the game will need to be adapted to specific latfprms in order to successfully work.

For example the movement of the protagonist would be controlled with different input methods when made for different platforms. A touch screen device such as a phone or tablet could be control the character using a makeshift joystick on the screen , the character could also be moved with just one touch to a defeigned area. This is not however the same for other devices. On a console a controller would be used to co tell inputs which means that there can only be a select few options the player has over the character due to the lack of buttons a controller has over a mouse.

This consideration will be key when creating and implementing code within the defined rules of the game.
