Since the last progress report I have added:

• A circular timer, with accompanying digital timer
• Fixed visual bug with lines occurring between modular tiles
• Level loading from .json files (more efficient and allows for entity instantiation)
• Player death triggered by timer getting to zero (has a nice explosion effect which I like!)
• Entity instantiation upon level load (the only entity so far is a checkpoint, which resets the timer [seen here as the transparent cube in front of the player])

I think this just about concludes Day 1.
For Day 2 I have left myself:

• Adding title screen, level select menus etc.
• Creating entities to use in levels
• Creating levels
• Sprucing up the user interface and HUD
• Sound effects and music
• ‘Juicing’ the game

All of which are well within reach!
