Chapter 2. Building a Character

It's time to start putting in the building blocks that will make up your game, starting with the setting up the project and then on to main character. It's an important first step as most of your game's core logic and framework generally centers on the main protagonist and highlights exactly how the player will interact with the game.

Here, we are aiming to create a 2.5D style in-game world where the player can explore each town and have random encounter scenes to fight off those pesky bad guys. So, first we need to get our character in and moving.

The following is the list of topics that will be covered in this chapter:

Designing a good class structure
Planning and designing behaviors
Importing sprites
Setting up user control effectively
