For day 1136 of coding, I made some progress with damage knockback. There's still some work to do in order for it to work properly

For day 1141 of coding, I fixed the collision error. It turns out that two of the variables needed for the collision needed to be updated after the speed change from knockback

For day 1143 of coding, I've set up an invulnerability timer after the player gets hurt. I don't have any other indicators set up yet

For day 1137 of coding, the knockback appears to be working. I just need to adjust speed and distance now

For day 1142 of coding, I made sure the player doesn't ping pong between enemies after being hit #gamedev #gamedeveloper #Gamedevelopment #gamedesign #gamedesigner #coding #dailycoding #dailycodingchallenge #dailycodinghabit #GMS2 #gamemakerstudio2

For day 1135 of coding, I'm working on having the player get knocked back from damage; using contact damage to test it. I don't have it working yet unfortunately

For day 1144 of coding, I've set the player sprite to flash in and out during the time of invulnerability. It's not great, but it can serve as a base for something better

For day 1139 of coding, I've done some testing and found the collision that caused the infinite loop

For day 1140 of coding, I have found where the infinite loop is happening through GMS2's debug mode. I haven't been a able to fix it yet unfortunately

For day 1138 of coding, I think I got the speed and distance right for the knockback. There is an issue where the game goes into an unbreakable loop at certain collisions
