This is episode five of my Shadow Switcher pygame development series. This episode covers the creation of the pygame enemy class and game map animations. The designer/creator of the original Shadow Switcher (C64) video game, Christian Gleinsner (Dr. Wuro). has permitted me to post this video and any related source code.
