This code describes a level. It takes the input and persistent game data in the
constructor. The input object is used to move the PlayerCharacter . The
persistent game data can be used to keep track of such things as the score or any
other data that should be recorded over a number of levels. The texture manager
is used to create the player, enemies, and background sprites.
The PlayerCharacter class will contain a sprite that represents the player
spaceship. The CD contains a sprite called spaceship.tga in the Assets directory.
This needs to be added to the project and its properties changed so that it
is copied into the build directory. Load this texture in the form.cs

InitializeTextures method.

private void InitializeTextures()
{

// Init DevIl
Il.ilInit();
Ilu.iluInit();
Ilut.ilutInit();
Ilut.ilutRenderer(Ilut.ILUT_OPENGL);

_textureManager.LoadTexture("player_ship", "spaceship.tga");

Now that the player sprite is loaded into the TextureManager, the
PlayerCharacter class can be written.

public class PlayerCharacter
{
