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
