make enemies face the way theyre going

if x part of velocity is less than zero flip image asset horizontally

i don't think i can assign to myself, so let this serve as my self-assignement

[AdamSpannbauer]

awesome, I've been on vacation away from the computer, hows this going?

[aikios]

Currently sidetracked by school, but I think I have a general idea for the solution (python imaging library)

[AdamSpannbauer]

Instead of introducing a new library I think that pygame.transform.flip should have us covered. The toughest part of this issue will be where/how to place flag indicating that the flip needs to be done. Perhaps as an instance attribute somewhere in the object hierarchy.

[aikios]

Yeah, that's what I was having trouble with. I saw that in most if not all of the cases, the image variable is passed in initialization, so in the current system, with my knowledge, there's no way to change image without initializing the whole thing over again so far

[aikios]

Do you know of a possible fix/resolution? I couldn't find anything on the internet, and a friend I asked said PIL was probably the better solution

[AdamSpannbauer]

There's an example image transformation in body.py; you can use the flip transform in the same way. PIL would work just as well to flip the image, but it's unneeded. The logic of telling the process when to flip is what's needed.

Maybe Body has a flip_img attribute added to it and bullets check their x velocity on update to set this attribute. There could be some interesting interactions with the rotate+flip logic but that should be solvable.

[aikios]

OK, I'll take a look once I get a chance.

@AdamSpannbauer - tested and fixed (see new commits), enemies now turn around like they should
