We have dipped our toes into the wide range of features of the 2D Game Kit. Hopefully, this recipe gives you an idea of how to work with the Prefabs provided, and also how to explore how custom artwork can be used, with appropriately added components to create your own GameObjects using the features of the 2D Game Kit.
If you look at the Ellen 2D character, you'll see some scripted components that manage the character's interaction with the 2D Game Kit. These include the following:
- CharacterController 2D: Movement and physical interactions
- Player Input: Keyboard/input control mapping, so you can change which keys/controller buttons control movement, jumping, and so on
- Player Character: How characters interact with the 2D Game Kit, including fighting (melee), damage, and bullet pools
