In this tutorial repository (with associated video), aimed at absolute beginners who have very little to no coding experience whatsoever, you'll learn what Inheritance is (it's not passing on hereditary traits or getting money!), how to use it (you already are using it!), what an Interface is, how to use it, and what the difference between the two are!

Do some data modeling for enemies that can attack the player. Starting with 3 types:
- Melee enemy
- Ranged enemy
- Boss enemy
Create inheritance relationships and interfaces to allow you to group common code and variables, define "can-do" relationships that allow you to extend what enemies and bosses can do in the future without significant rework.
