With summer coming to a close, I'd like to say that I now have better utilities to work with! Not only that, but I went back through some of the levels I made during early development, and HOO boy, lets just say that I saw some very primal code, ~10 lines of code for the player, and now I have ~200. If that isn't a sign of improvement then I don't know what is. 

As of now, I am working on map streamlining and debugging. I have all the map's layout fully finished and only have to add the levels themselves.
