For day 1176 of coding, I tried incorporating the object's speed into one of the !place_meeting() conditions to no succuss

For day 1167, I've noticed that the draw functions seem to not display the boundaries accurately. So far, I have fixed how the player's origin point is displayed

For day 1172 of coding, I tried setting up some conditions for the collisions to no avail

For day 1173 of coding; I've applied the damage flash into the new collision method, but I'll have to make it only happen when it's inactive

For day 1169 of coding, I tried enlarging the player's hitbox to see if it changes anything. It didn't

For day 1174 of coding, I now have the damage reaction done only when inactive

For day 1175 of coding, I have found another collision error trough testing

For day 1170 of coding, I have started working on an alternate means on collisions until I figure out more on how to better utilize "place_meeting()" with moving objects

For day 1166 of coding; with collision issues still occurring, I'm currently looking into exactly how "place_meeting()" interacts with the objects and tiles

For day 1168 of coding, I've fixed how the player's collision box is displayed. This will make it easier to accurately test collisions
