After implementing the camera system, I noticed that the level still looked very basic because platforms were being drawn as plain black rectangles. During this development session I focused on creating a more professional level system using actual game assets.
I created a general-purpose Object class that could be used as the foundation for future game elements such as blocks, traps, checkpoints, and interactive objects. This significantly improved the organisation of the project and reduced code duplication.
I then created a Block class which inherits from the Object class. Instead of drawing rectangles, blocks now load an image from the terrain sprite sheet. This made the level look much closer to the final game.
To support this, I also created a helper function called get_block() which extracts a specific terrain tile from the terrain sprite sheet and scales it appropriately.
