Bugs/Fixes

Bugs	Problem	Fix
Rotation	Blocks Warp when Rotating getting bigger the more you do it	The Fix we derived for this will be that the blocks do not physically rotate only then numbers get passed around
Rotation Variables	Rotation variable are using place holds should be more dynamic	Concatenated the string didn't work but casting it to str worked
Sprite Lag	Seems like there is redundant code in the works causing lag in the movement
