So I'm pretty tired at this point, but I managed to add more things than I had originally hoped at the start of the day. So I created a list for them.
- SDL2.dll fix
pysdl2 couldn't find the SDL2.dll on Windows 7, even though it worked fine on Windows 8 and 10. So I helped the searching a bit.
- Story intro
When you start in the cabin, there's a little bit of text being played that describes the alien invasion. It also tells the player the controls.
- Items!
This is the biggest feature added today. You now have an inventory and can use food items both outside and inside battle.
- Mushrooms
Speaking of food items, there are now brown mushrooms hidden in the maps that will give you a consumable mushroom item. Just don't take too many okay?
- The magic baseball bat
Harris will now start with an attack power of 1. Which is pretty wimpy. So I've added a new area to the north that contains a baseball bat that will increase the attack power by 1 and will also unlock the shockwaves needed to defeat some enemies.
- Recon droid
The alien gunners are a bit too hard when starting with an attack power of 1. So I created these guys which are handy for leveling up with.
- Floating cube
This is a new enemy in the cliffs map. It can only be damaged by shockwaves and will revive any fallen alien gunners.
- UFO fight improved
Speaking of reviving, this is what the UFO can do now too. Which is a good thing because it needs level 2 shockwaves for it to go down.
Anyway, that's it for me. I'll do a post-mortem later, in a couple or days or so.

Looks really good!
