TODO-FOR-FUTURE-ME

Since the limit of space was 13kbs I was out of space but in the future I may:

• Implement A* algorithm for the enemies to walk.
• Implement armor items so player/enemeis can have an aditional shield "life" bar wich takes damage before the player/enemies real life.
• Implemente general rougelike items to increase player life, atk base dmg, defence, etc.
• Implemente more environment traps and sprites, like trees, bear traps, wood walls, etc.
• Investigate a strange performance problem where the game slows down, can't figure out if it's due to the animation system used. It doesn't seem to be a memory leak, maybe garbage collector... But memory seems to be cleaned normally without causing issues... I have no idea. Maybe it's a problem with my machine since people don't seem to have the same issue.
