Includes:

Catch Game Which:

  • Removes terminology like: sprite and projectile and replaces them with player and item

  • Simplification of projectile. Item is now randomly generated without the developer needing to understand vx and vy
  • No need for math.random
  • Keeping player in the bounds of the screen is automatically handled
  • overlap event is simplified to "when player catches item" includes handling of item kind within the event
  • "otherSprite" being destroyed is also handled by the event.
