With this demo, each enemy has 9 list items given to them. The first one is their ID, and this is what we look for when we try to change anything about the enemy. The ID of an enemy will never change, which means it will never lose the location of its data. The rest are the attributes they have. We know every single enemy's attributes are in the exact same order, so if we store the order of the attributes in a global list, we can use that to figure out where a specific attribute for an enemy is. For example, we know that the x position of an enemy is the 2nd list item after the list item that has their ID. The formula to find the value of an enemy's attribute is: "[item (item # of (ID) in enemy_data_list) + (item # of (attribute) in attribute_list)] of enemy_data_list]"
