Player health & death

[bates64]

Design decisions:

• [x] Discrete or continuous?

Programming:

• Health should be generic so it can be applied to player, enemy, or static objects

From @MrN830:

would be cool for the screen to freeze when you take fatal damage or run out of time before playing the death animation kinda like kirby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-8JpCT9DU

I am team discrete

[MrN830]

I am also team discrete for the player, but not for enemies. We can implement it the same way programmatically just by having every enemy attack deal 1 damage and the player's health being presented as a discrete value, but player attacks and enemy health pools will have much higher values.
