Player Control 

I already had a basic movement script which was a premade script using Unity Playground. I needed something more engaging and personalised to my need. When looking at other 2d platformers they always have more than just a basic left, right or jump. Some have double jump or charge jump and some also have a dash feature. 

When doing research for my control I came across this 2d platformer tutorial which goes in-depth on player movement and how to make the double jump feature.  

When making the movement script another key element I wanted to include was animation. Although my character animation is basically just a flip. It still a complete feel to the game.  If later I want to develop the animation in the game it would be very simple as just changing the sprite when Space is Pressed.
