ChangeLog

0.1

• displaying the x,y coordinates of the player object
• bounding the player object within the game screen
• playing a bumping sound at the edge of the screen
• background ambient music
• sprite sheet slicing for walking and idle animations
• animated the walk/idle sequence in all four cardinal coordinates (North, East, South, West)
• minimal "moonwalking", by adjusting the animation duration
• second "npc" character
• detect simple bounding box collision of entities
• npc turns toward player on collision

0.2

• refactored to FXGL 0.5.0
• refactored movement
• player cannot walk over NPCs bounding box
• tightened up the hitbox (still code-messy)
• tilemap background with terrain items
