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
Screen Size Screen is at the moment not dynamic should be changed to be full screen and dynamic for no problems in the future
Sprite Size They are too tiny at the moment make bigger ...
Grid needs to be dynamic and not a png image Program randomly generates a board of individual squares so its no longer a png image.
Individual Rotation Only One Block can rotate make it so that any block can, maybe visual cue like a rotate symbol on a block Each individual block on screen can now be clicked and rotated.
