Items

[charlottemaherr]

Description

Design and implement various items for players to interact with on the map, which provide health and ability boosts in the game. These items should be scattered throughout the map, be visually distinct and easy to interact with. Each item has a unique effect on the player's health, attack or defence capabilities. The properties of these items (e.g. effect, boost amount, duration) should be editable. This feature adds an extra layer of depth to gameplay, encouraging users to make tactical decisions about when and where to use these items. By integrating these elements, we aim to increase player engagement.

Note that this feature is related to the Weapons feature, as both involve player interactions with collectible objects in the game world. Ensure consistency in item handling and feedback mechanisms.
