2048
About
2048 was a project asked by our teacher where the goal was to recreate 2048 but with greater sound design and visuals than the classic one.
Unfortunatly my repository has disapeared from github so i'll not be able to show you some of the code that I realised for this project

Introduction
For my 2048 I decided to go for an underwater theme where we have some jellyfish that can change colors with the higher number on the grid. We have a little bubble sound when we merge the numbers and a bubble pop when the player try to do a move that does nothing.
What I learned
Overall, in this project I've learn new things about the workflow and how to optimise it. The use of tools whether they are internal or external shouldn't be taken litghtly as they can help you improve your workflow and makes life easier if you take a little bit of your time learning them.
DOTween
DOTween was unknown for me before doing this project. I used it to do the little animations on the numbers which helped me to work faster and make my code more optimised than if I didn't use it.
PlayerPrefs
This was the first time I was using PlayerPrefs, I've used it for keeping the highscore of the player after each game and when the player restart the game so it don't loses his progress. The highscore is updating at the same time as the normal score if this one surpass the highscore.
The other use of it was to keep the audio parameters at the same level between each time the player launch the game so it don't become deaf each time.
Geometry Nodes
The geometry nodes were something new for me. It was really useful as they helped scatter the corals across the rocks without making the background unnatural and it was a lot faster than if they were placed by hands making the scene a lot easier to create.
