Challenges

1. Implement the above code.

2. Find and replace the current key configuration to work with left hand for movement:

1
2
3
4
5
6
//Find and replace the keys to bind to ordinal characters:
ord("D") //instead of vk_right in player step event
ord("A") //instead of vk_left in player step event
ord("W") //instead of vk_up in player step event
//for example, instead of vk_left in player step event:
if (keyboard_check(ord("A"))){ horiz = -move_speed; };

3. CHALLENGE this code aims at the mouse position - can you make it so that the projectile fires in the direction the player is facing - left or right?

4. CHALLENGE what if the player is holding up or down - can the projectile go 4 ways? (up down left right)

5. Find a projectile sprite from the internet to use here - perhaps something animated NOT A BULLET AND NOTHING VIOLENT
