Day Nine
Today was mostly spent fixing some bugs that I hadn't realize were there until I started thinking about the mechanics and code more. I fixed the item quantity system so that it actually works now(before you could buy things infinitely), after that, I went asset shopping some so that I could find a heart sprite to use to represent how many hearts the players has, and a sword sprite so that I could represent how much damage the player can do. Luckily, I was able to find both. I got the heart sprite from DonHellsing's 2D Heart Animation and the sword sprite from Alex's 16x16 RPG Item Pack. Here is it working in action:
I also changed the cursor sprite from blue to transparent, as I thought it looked better.
