Dev Notes

This is meant to be a record of ideas and issues we need to implement for the game for the future, or issues we need to address

General code & Logic

Event timers
Timer class, can call an animation event, when animation plays, trigger other code, in eventcomplete(do other stuff)
Making actual input handled as method of fighter class Fighter.punch
Passable timers
Keyboard inputs, virtual buttons (no downduration) update controller class

Combat Logic

Hit stun, diminish returns
third hit does a launch (combo system?)
Implement a queue or linked list for attack combos,
On time presses
FrameBuffer
Roman cancel
Gameplay testing, breath system or launch combos, different ways of escaping combos

Art

We need strong silhouettes for fighters (makes characters easy to see and read
Attack animations needed
- Windup Frames (pre attack, arm moving back, etc)
- Attack Frames (Fighter is now actually attacking)
- Recovery Frames (Attack is over, returning back to idle, Arm is being pulled back)
