Activity: creating one-page design using 2D Game Kit building blocks.

Notes: I wasn't sure about how detailed it should be (having a text "put some platforms here" vs. writing down every platform's size and placement in blocks), so I made it about as detailed as the one-page design for a platformer shown in the recommended video for the lecture.

I used Krita, as I've already used it before. It turns out that using a drawing tablet is not really faster than using the mouse - you mostly need straight lines and simple shapes for level design and you spend a lot of the time thinking anyways.

Invested hours: 3:45

Outcome: Level design created.
