Updates and Render

Tank takes care of updates for all its shots aswell as the tank. Shot also sends back when the shot is dead and initiates a turn switch. There are several different states for tank, all shown in the source code in update().

-setFirstPos()

This takes the position and puts it right on top of land at the previous x. Automatically called when tank info set.

-onTurnSwitch()

Gets a tank ready for its turn. Resets movement limits among other things.

-move()

Takes in input and moves the tank accordingly, working with movePos(). All that needs to be called to handle movement.

###-checkcollision() Used by several other methods to check if a collision has happened. Uses pixel operations to check the area within the xRange and yRange. Returns true if any pixels collide or if tank hits edge of screen.
