# PlayerController - V1 - S20

Includes fogic for:

* Animator: idle, walk, jump
* RigidBody: horizontal movement
* Flip (): flip horizontally to face walk direction

Does not include logic for:

* RigidBody: vertical movement
* Jump: Grounded, Physics LayerMask logic
* OnTriggerEnter( ) - collision with pickUp objets
