It might look, to untrained eyes, like I haven't actually made any progress whatsoever with this game.
It might appear, to people who don't know how AGameAWeek works, like I've spent most of the past two days faffing about with all the new guff I bought from Amazon during the Prime Day deal days..
But no, rest assured, that although the new curtains and curtain pole are now up, and the new Eufy vacuum's been doing the rounds, and that Mum's been out playing "diggy diggy weed-killer" with the shovel we bought her, and that I've been drinking lovely Bolero drinks from my new water bottle.
.. But no, I haven't in fact been doing nothing but faff about with all the new fun purchases.
For starters, I haven't rearranged all the electronics in my bedroom to account for the 2 new power strips that I bought.
See.. I haven't done everything.
There's much more to be done.
And I HAVE been dedicating time to coding.
A whole lot of time.
And though the screenshot above might look vaguely reminiscent of the screenshot from two days ago, rest assured, plenty has been going on in the interim.
The camera's a little tighter, so the game "looks" a little bit chunkier, but this also removes the "around the outside" gameplay space.
I've opted to keep everything inside the ring, now.
Speaking of inside the ring, look how neat and tidy the grid of fruit it.
Awww.
And there's a cute little pink character in the middle, too.
That's you, that is.
That's you.. With your big chunky black boots, standing in the fruit bowl.
Maybe you'll stomp on the fruit with your boots? But I think it's more likely you'll be picking up the fruit and throwing it at the ring's pockets, trying to score points or something.
Honestly, I've still not got much in the way of gameplay going here, yet.
I probably should've done that, by now.
Hmmm..
It definitely isn't from all the faffing about with purchases.
Nope..
Not at all.
[verse]
The fruit bowl circles all around my head,
The apples, cherries and grapes are alright.
But bananas are still my favourite fruit,
Because they're curly and yellow and happy and bright.
[chorus]
With their smiles and their happy little googly eyes, they all sing in a happy chorus,
Singing out loud about adventures in their tree where they came from.
Up in the air living life without a care, swinging their arms around and thinking of dancing,
To the super happy epic rhyme. (It's peanut butter jelly time.)
[verse]
Delicious fruit come from every corner,
But there are no corners inside of the bowl.
The bowl is a circle, and runs all around,
As bananas will ripen, and never grow old.
[chorus]
With their smiles and their happy little googly eyes, they all sing in a happy chorus,
Singing out loud about adventures in their tree where they came from.
Up in the air living life without a care, swinging their arms around and thinking of dancing,
To the super happy epic rhyme. (It's peanut butter jelly time.)
[bridge]
Sometimes the fruit will roll right off the table,
Spinning wild, and intensely, as fast as they're able.
They'd twirl on the floor like a crazy turntable,
But not in the fruit bowl, where Bananas are stable,
[chorus]
With their smiles and their happy little googly eyes, they all sing in a happy chorus,
Singing out loud about adventures in their tree where they came from.
Up in the air living life without a care, swinging their arms around and thinking of dancing,
To the super happy epic rhyme. (It's peanut butter jelly time.)
[Dave and Brian are surrounded by various ingredients, with a cool blue glow from Dave's mini-fridge gently lighting the room]
Dave: It's not too bad once you rewire it.
Brian: At least we can see what we're doing.
Dave: Right, Operation Heat-Proof ScrunchCake begins!
Brian: Are you sure about this?
Dave: We need a backup plan in case the fridge dies. This heatwave doesn't seem to be ending.
Brian: Well, we already know chocolate's too melty and standard cream doesn't last very long against the sausage.
Dave: Yeah, too risky. It'll go off in seconds.
Brian: What about jam?
Dave: Strawberry or raspberry?
Brian: Blackcurrant?
Dave: Apricot might work, too.
Brian: With mustard?
Dave: Brian, that's... actually interesting.
Scene Two
Int. Shop Kitchen - An Hour Later
[Green enters to find Dave and Brian covering a wall chart in various spreads]
Green: What in god's name...?
Dave: We're innovating!
Brian: It's a physical spreadsheet of spreads.. on a sheet.
Green: Not you, too, Brian.
Brian: This one seems to be the winning combination, so far.
Green: What is it?
Dave: (singing) It's peanut butter jelly time!
Green: Please stop.
Dave: The Nutella and Salad Cream one didn't work out.
Brian: But the peanut butter ones are holding up well in the heat!
Green: You're not seriously considering selling these?
Dave: They're temperature resistant!
Brian: And the crunchy peanut butter adds an extra Scrunch to the mix.
Scene Three
Int. Shop Floor
[Mrs Thompson is examining the experimental ScrunchCakes]
Mrs Thompson: ... and jelly?
Dave: Well, no, it's Jam.
Brian: Blackcurrant.
Dave: But in America they call it Jelly.
Mrs Thompson: We're not in America, David.
Green: Don't set him off.
Mrs Thompson: I'm not eating anything in that shade of blue.
Dave: You ate the Purple.
Mrs Thompson: Once. Never again.
Brian: It's the peanut scrunchy surprise that makes them so perfect.
Dave: Look - they survive even when the fridge is off!
Mrs Thompson: Do you honestly think the Vicar would appreciate these?
Dave: But my spreadsheet shows...
All: NO SPREADSHEETS!
Mrs Thompson: What if someone has a peanut allergy? There'll be more than a Scrunchy Surprise, there.
Dave: Hmmm.
Brian: What's that stuff in an EpiPen?
Green: Stop!!
