+Make a lesson and code around Enemies and Obstacles.  Integrate ideas so they can be adapted by Teacher project. 
+
+Provided in code is the beginning of a tube obstacle.   This is a new GameObject class.  Review logic to detect when the player interacts with the obstacle.  This ultimately triggers a Callback that ends the level.
+
+Platforms for Jumping
+Introduce platforms for jumping and avoiding enemies.
+
+NPC Characters
+Introduce new NPC GameObject class for Goombas.  Implement game logic for NPC movement and collision with the player.

+title: Parallax / Scrolling
+description: Provide a lesson on screen effects.

+
+
+## Parallax and Scrolling Effects
+Make a lesson and code around Parallax.  Integrate ideas so they can be adapted by Teacher project.  Add elements to improve transitions screens and backgrounds.  Below are a couple of ideas, but there should be many more.
+
+- Use a transition effect to smoothly move from the start screen to the game screen, etc.
+
+- Overlaying Backgrounds
+  - Implement a dual-layered background system where the primary background is static, and a passive background moves to create a parallax effect.
+  - Adjust the opacity or blending mode to avoid shadows of  screen moving over screen.
+
+- Association with Character Movement
+  - Trigger the scrolling screen movement when the player reaches a specific x-coordinate.
+  - Synchronize the screen scrolling speed with the player's movement speed.
+  - Consider incorporating easing functions for a smoother scrolling effect.
