Throughout this sprint, the primary roadblock that our group faced was that we encountered a lull in progress because we were preoccupied with needing to complete a project from CAGD 373. However, in spite of that, we still managed to make great progress as far as building and polishing the pre-existing features of the game went. One of the primary tasks that I focused on across the course of this sprint was level design.

The narrator would be a nice addition to teach the player how to play the game, and it still will be an important addition that I will most likely be working on in the fourth sprint. But, considering that we were just entering the t...
