Gravity Vector

In order to prevent the player from being suspended in the air after jumping, the constant vector GRAVITY was implemented in the PhysicsEngine class. This vector is set at (0.0f, -40.0f) to ensure the player falls downwards after jumping or falling off an obstacle at an appropriate speed. Many speeds were tested, however, the chosen speed was the most suitable. During gameplay, the GRAVITY variable is required to remain true, therefore, within the PhysicsEngine() function it is set to true at the start of the game.
