Contributions

~ Implemented directional paths using splines to add force on the player that we call slipstreams. The player can deposit and pull energy from the slipstream to change the force. The color of the slipstream represents how much energy the slipatream has. The level designers can easily adjust the starting evnergy, max force, and direction of the slipstreams

~ Created the magical energy material for the slipstream with parameters to adjust the textures, tiling, moving speed and direction, and color

~ Created a two level fog of war map and a minimap

~ Implemented a payload trial challenge system that the level designers can adjust to make as many steps as they need and decide if the steps need to be filled sequentially or in any order

~ Created an environment system to restore the environment from a neglected form to an energy activated form when a trial is completed
