Issues/Problems/Solutions Encountered

I did not experience any issues this sprint programming-wise, really. Last sprint, I felt the programmers didn’t get along with each other very well, but our relationship has improved. We give each other lots of advice-- sometimes more than we’d want, but to be honest, I’d prefer unwelcome advice over no advice at all.

One issue I had outside this course was my back problems. My back was hurting so much due to bad posture, and sitting/ laying down for the majority of the day. Sitting became so painful that I could not work on this project at all for a couple of days. Eventually, after stretching and light exercise it got better, and was able to make good progress.

While implementing the enemies and branching paths, I was continuously updating the classmap for them. This allowed me to have a clear understanding of what my code is doing, and also helped the other programmers.
