Step 7: Finishing Touches

Welcome back! This part of the tutorial is where we just add all of the finishing touches to the game! Unlike the other parts of the tutorial, I won’t comment any of the code I give you, as the knowledge you have learned from this tutorial should tell you what’s going on. Luckily for you, there aren’t too many finishing touches for us to make, so your brain won’t hurt too much.

Now, what can we add to our little game? The answer is: it’s up to you to decide what to add. It’s also up to you to use what you’ve learned to do it right. Thank you and good night.
