This project is finished as of May 2023.

I learned a lot:
-I learned how to group things differently for better results and simultaneous code-firing
-For the first time, I tried multi-part objectives
-For the first time, I created separate paths that fired depending on the order that the player proceeded through the level
-I learned how to program the AI better in this mod than in prior mods

Things that went well:
-Everything worked as intended
-I managed to get everything working from my original design

Even better if:
-I could have cleaned up this code even more; for example, I could have used more multi-enable/disable lines of code instead of individual enable/disables
-I could have spent more time learning how to ground objects together to make for cleaner code
-I could have spent more time learning how the layers system worked in order to script events by layer which would have allowed for more dynamic changes in the scene; because this did not happen, I cut a lot of the dynamic environmental changes I had planned for the level.
