For OOP programmers or general ones, what plan or methodology do you use for deriving variables ?

 

Suppose this in design phase of the programme ( Before I do sniper, its "kungu-fu" skunk a simple 2D game similar to super mario to see if I can do this thing.... ) :

 

Assume that I'm writing a game plan for a game called "kungfu-skunk" . I have created a requirements and design plan. Some of my basic requirements are these :

 

- Player can move left / right of screen

- Player can jump

- Player can box and kick opponents

 

I've already defined my Player Object, classes,methods and properties.

 

What would be variables for Player and how can I derive these? I know one is position on screen.
