Instead of instantly flipping direction, our character smoothly rotates when changing direction.

It doesn’t affect gameplay, just adds some visual juice.

🅰️ Love it
🅱️ Prefer instant turns
🅾️ Doesn’t matter

ARC handles the common cases automatically. Objects are freed when nothing references them. But circular references (object A → B → A) break the pattern.

I think good naming beats over-commenting. But sometimes a well-placed comment saves lives. Thoughts?

The original “Final Fantasy” was named literally. Square was facing bankruptcy at the time of the game’s release making it their last published title. In other words, it was literally their “Final Fantasy”.
