gollark: ```javascriptconst getEnemy = (x, y) => { for (let i = 0; i < enemies.length; i++) { let other = enemies[i] if (other.x == x && other.y == y) return i } return -1}const getPlayer = (x, y) => { for (let i = 0; i < active_players.length; i++) { if (active_players[i]) { if (players[i].x == x && players[i].y == y) return i } } return -1}const getBonus = (x, y) => { for (let i = 0; i < bonuses.length; i++) { if (x == bonuses[i].x && y == bonuses[i].y) return i } return -1}```
gollark: This is for rendering the area around a player.
gollark: ```javascriptconst renderPlayer = (player) => { let str = "" for (let y = player.y - 5; y <= player.y + 5; y++) { for (let x = player.x - 10; x <= player.x + 10; x++) { let wallCol = getWallColor(x, y) if (x >= WIDTH) { str += wallCol } else if (y >= HEIGHT) { str += wallCol } else if (x < 0) { str += wallCol } else if (y < 0) { str += wallCol } else { let id = getEnemy(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += enemy_icons[enemies[id].id] } else { let id = getPlayer(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += players[id].icon } else { let id = getBonus(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += "?" } else { str += " " } } } } } str += "\n" } return str}```
gollark: YES, SOME OFFENSE.
