Time for action – overriding the Update() method – part 1

1. Create a new region in the Player class for public methods:

   #region Public Methods
   #endregion

2. Add the initial Update() override method to the Public Methods region of the Player class:

   public override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
   {
       if (!Dead)
       {
           string newAnimation = "idle";
   
           velocity = new Vector2(0, velocity.Y);
           GamePadState gamePad = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One);
           KeyboardState keyState = Keyboard.GetState();
   
           if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left) ||
               (gamePad.ThumbSticks.Left.X < -0.3f))
           {
               flipped = false;
               newAnimation = "run";
               velocity = new Vector2(-moveScale, velocity.Y);
           }
   
           if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Right) ||
               (gamePad.ThumbSticks.Left.X > 0.3f))
           {
               flipped = true;
               newAnimation = "run";
               velocity = new Vector2(moveScale, velocity.Y);
           }
   
     ...
