Hi Kyle! Sorry for the delay. Yes my draft is ready for review now. Please feel free to comment. Looking forward to your feedback! |

| ## Part II: Adding the Player and the Bullets | ||
|
|

| Now that the canvas has been set up, let's add the player on the screen. For simplicity, let's temporarily represent the player using `circle()`. |

you have absolutely not set up the canvas at this point...
if you want this to be a follow-along blog, I would add a section above with screenshots for setting up and using the P3 system. Don't expect people to be able to get started with it on their own, and even then make sure they have some started code with the structure you described above in place
if you want this to be an informative blog and not follow-along, then you would need to remove the large amounts of explicit code samples below and add them to a resource dump or source file reference at the end

I'm sorry for the image rendering issue, but I do have two screenshots showing how to up the canvas. I have also modified the previous section a little bit. Hopefully this will make the setup procedure clearer.
About the blog preference, the setup part isn't long enough for an individual blog, and I think setting up the environment isn't too complicated. Still, the entire blog seems to have too much information, so would it be a good idea to split it into two at somewhere else, say, after the third section?

consider adding a way to preview the app you're going to build throughout the tutorial, would make the descriptions in this section and on easier to visualize. just a link to a running version should suffice

Yeah. It would be nice if I could directly show the program in the blog, but looks like those online editors that I could find are not compatible with Processing. I have inserted a few more images to better visualize the blog. Do you have any other alternatives?

| ## Part III: Adding a Life and Scoring System | ||
|
|
||
| Without a second chance, however, the player in our initial version of the game seems prone to death. So let's add a life system to make the game more enjoyable. |

weird sentence to start a section. something like, "we want to allow the player to have multiple chances in our game, otherwise..."
|
|
||
| We have already implemented all the essential functions of a simple bullet-dodging game. If you're ready for a more advanced program, it is now time to add enemies to the game and make it a shooting game. | ||
|
|
||
| First of all, it is imperative that we declare a global time variable `int time = 0;` and increment it (`time ++;`) at the end of `draw()`, so that we can decide when the enemy will fire the next bullet regularly. |

"imperative" is a bit too strong of a word here, rephrase
|
|
||
| Now we have created an obstacle that the player can hide behind at the bottom of the field: | ||
|
|
||
|  |
|
|
||
| After viewing the high score, we can now restart the game after game over! | ||

since you've put in code dumps already, I would add a final one to the end here for people to compare against

| We have completed the ultimate version of the program that allows us to pause, resume, and restart the game in addition to all the functions we have implemented earlier. [Here](https://github.com/Bowen1Zhu/Bullet-Dodging-Game) are all the images that I have used in my shooting game. Feel free to customize your own characters, improve the aesthetics, and add more features to the game! |

Hi Kyle! Thank you so much for your feedback! I have revised the blog based on your suggestions. I would like to hear if there's anything else that I could improve. For the image rendering issue, since it works totally fine on my end, I'm not sure how I should fix it. Would you like to share how you access the blog? Thanks! |
