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 1146 of coding, I tried shortening the invulnerability period and making the "blinks" more rapid to see how it looks overall

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

For day 1147 of coding, I put a red shader on the player when the knockback happens. I'll need to see if I can apply a similar shader during the invulnerability period

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
