Journal Entry 5

Progress:

• finished basic Python integration!
  • the player now runs away from the nearest enemy when they get too close
  • if there are mistakes in the code, the background goes red
• added sprites for the player, the enemy and the bullet (more to be added)
  • fixed issues with enemy rotation and angular drag

Notes:

• it took quite a long time and it's Python 2, but the game can finally be programmed in Python using the editor window!
• the game seems to slow down quite a bit when there are more enemies, not entirely sure how to remedy this... it might be better to have a list of enemies, since that is currently done dynamically each frame and might be too slow
