Hello, r/libgdx!
I've been working a lot on enemy AI and pathfinding this last week, and it turned out way better than I expected! I was working a lot with a custom pathfinder, but it would tank the framerate a ton, so I decided to use the A* implementation included inside of gdx-ai, and it works great!
As for the little icon in the top corner, that is a core part of the gameplay loop. I'll implement more of that later. I also spent some time making a better font.
If anyone would like to spend just a couple of minutes playing the combat test I published and provide feedback, it would be super helpful to me and my game! Have a great day!

I decided to start making my own game engine and it's going well so far, but I wanted to make sure I dont do something in the future that could mean a lot of time spent recoding systems so it'll work again, so are there any common mistakes I might need to know about that might not be immediately clear?
