Version 0.1.1 is live!

Hey guys! I got the basic functionality of the item system live. The items currently only have 1 effect at the moment (health effect). These effects will be applied based off the rarity and quality of the random items.

Update Notes

• Items are a potential powerup option upon level up.
• Items are randomly generated with a set rarity and quality affecting the applied effects.
• There are 2 inventory slots for items. Currently there is no way to distinguish between a taken slot and a free slot. When choosing a new item, if you select a slot taken by an item, that item will be swapped out with the current item.
• Items will persist until swapped out / character death.
• Item images can be hovered to show item name, rarity, quality, and the effects it can apply.

Minor Notes:

Currently there is nothing preventing you from swapping to items that could kill you. For example, if your current item adds 10 hp to your character and you lose 5hp of the bonus 10hp, then you swap to an item that adds 5 hp, it could potentially drop you to 0hp. These interactions have not been tested completely, so please proceed with caution.

I also fixed the wizard's projectiles. Now they can actually hit you. :)

Known Bugs

• Currently added items also adds an extra 10hp and I haven't figured it out yet, but I am working on it.

Reporting Bugs

Please feel free to reach out with any comments, questions, or concerns, and I would like to extend my gratitude to those who have downloaded these early versions of my project. I know it hasn't gotten far, but I am committed to bringing this idea to fruition. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I will see you all next week with another update!
