Time for action – creating the Player class

1. Add a new class file called Player.cs to the Gemstone Hunter project.

2. Add the following using directives to the Player class:

   using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
   using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
   using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
   using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
   using Tile_Engine;

3. Modify the declaration of the Player class to make it public, and derive from the GameObject class:

   public class Player : GameObject

4. Add declarations to the Player class:

   private Vector2 fallSpeed = new Vector2(0, 20);
   private float moveScale = 180.0f;
   private bool dead = false;

5. Add the Dead property to the Player class:

   public bool Dead
   {
       get { return dead; }
   }

6. Create a constructor for the Player class:

   #region Constructor
   public Player(ContentManager content)
   {
       animations.Add("idle",
           new AnimationStrip(
               content.Load<Texture2D>(@"Textures\Sprites\Player\Idle"),
               48, 
               "idle"));
       animations["idle"].LoopAnimation...
