So the goal for today was to get a basic boss fight up and running. Here was the "design document":
Here's the end result:
Lots of work still to do polishing everything up, but the boss can kill the player...and the player can kill the boss.
Also, got 4 directional parallax scrolling working, and locked doors with collectible keys.
The mini-boss (Bandit King) will be next.
Only 1 month left!!
