Slowly, but surely.

Progress!

I'm starting to get a bit nervous about potentially needing art asserts in the future. I feel comfortable handling all the coding/logic/scripting/etc, but when it comes to creating art assets? pfffft. newp.

Over the past few days I've been able to implement the following:

• Mouse wheel lets you zoom in and out! yay.
• Ability to switch camera modes. 
• push the "End" key to toggle between modes. 
• Mode1 (default): Fixed camera, chases you around. 
• This mode is intended for use with click to move (default)
• Mode 2 : full camera control by holding right-click and dragging
• This mode is intended for use with WASD movement (Not implemented yet)
• Added a player health bar
• Very ugly placeholder. -- but works
• Added an "Action bar"
• Ability icons (temp, thank you http://opengameart.org)
• Ability tooltips
• tooltips are dynamic, they update automatically based on damage/target/range numbers.
• Clickable ability usage
• Eventually abilities will be able to be dragged from slot to slot. 
• Vital to the ability advancement system in the future. 
• Enemies will auto-acquire targets when they are damaged. 
• Added enemy spawning. 
• Made 2 variations of the fireball
• Variant 1 homes in on target
• Variant 2 is a "dumb fire" spell and moves in a straight line no matter what.
• Created an enemy ability control system that defines what abilities enemies use and when. 
• Allows for customization of spell order, preference, decision making, etc. 
• Made a flag for abilities to "require viable target"
• This prevents you from using the fireball spell without a potential target. Before you could cast it, nothing would come out, and you'd still suffer the cooldown. Now, it requires a viable target or won't cast/animate at all. 

As usual, you can check it out below the break.
