Game design Process

To game design the dungeon Ill use a processing sketch to draw and think of the better way to make the game play work as illustrated bellow. Functionality Checklist A simple character movement using mouseX mouse Y, another character with mirrored A dungeon designed in another processing sketch Collision with walls, wont pass Collision with monsters, Text Sound Ill try arrays to make sprites, but its not a promise If the code is simple enough, Ill try making generative Code done by http://www.openprocessing.org/ dungeons sketch/7277
