This game is a Python-based pirate platformer using Pygame. The maps were map with Tiled Map Editor. In addition to making maps quick and easy, Tile also made spawning the player and enemies much easier. In Tile, we can set the player's start and end points as well as set enemies' movement constraints. This simplifies enemy logic by only allowing enemies to move left or right until they reach a restricted tile. Once they reach the restricted tile, they turn and walk the other way. Collision detection does not need to be complicated with this approach.

DO NOT ROTATE A TILE IN TILED WHEN CREATING A LEVEL. I had to figure this out and it took a while among other things. If you find a fix, please let me know.
