Yesterday was incredibly lazy!

-=-=-

Over the course of 24 hours, I had three naps, watched this week's episode of Voyager alongside the accompanying Delta Flyers podcast, and also watched my daily selection of Quiz Shows.

In the UK, between 4pm and 7pm, a staggering number of quiz shows fill the TV schedules.
I currently watch Tipping Point (vaguely, but am usually coding whilst it's on in the background), The Chase (intently, good quizzing) and Richard Osman's House of Games (fun, quirky quizzing) each day.
The three, together, act as a nice buffer zone between my daytime coding and afternoon coding sessions.

Other than lazily watching lots of telly, I also spent about an hour playing Animal Crossing, which I've not really done an awful lot of, lately. It was nice to see my village friends, and have them all wish me a happy birthday, even if they all continue to call me Jackass all the time.



And then there's the coding. I got the frogger game movement working nicely. Took a bit of tweaking to get the feel for the little creature, but it seems to be going ok, now.
Next is the objective. Rather than a standard "Just get all the frogs to the other side", I'm aiming to have space-gems to pick up.
The intent is to have a 3-slot mechanic. Grab three alike-gems in a row to score more points, that kind of thing.
Not sure how obvious I can make that, but that's the plan, anyway.

Right, gotta go code that, then.
I might manage to get a screenshot, later!! (It's currently still a little bland looking)
