In this episode, we're continuing our Pokemon battle example, but with a twist: we're starting from scratch to re-envision our code in a more object-oriented way.
Previously, our code flowed very straight, from top to bottom, with the exception of a loop which represented the characters indefinitely taking turns. Now, we're thinking of our game as several 'objects' interacting with each other: in this case, 'Pokemon' and 'PokemonMove's.
I would've liked to have made more progress on this example, but we ended up spending a lot of time re-capping concepts that we touched on in previous episodes. By the end, though, I've said most of what I wanted to say about the very basics of classes. In the next episode, we'll have a fully-working version of the Pokemon combat system, again, but it'll be much more flexible for being built with classes.
