Yesterday was another good day with lots of progress! I changed my theme slightly (different word bank) so the game is now officially called "Fishing For Compliments" :D

Today I'm going to try to get done before submission ends:

• fix bug where fish sometimes swims backwards if you spell a word incorrectly
• add menus
• add some sound effects

If I have time:

• add an end state (currently you can only fish infinitely)
• add lower/raise line mechanic, and only hook fish on the red part

Got a lot done yesterday!

added:

• finished fish difficulty and word lists for 10 difficulties of fish
• show/hide typing UI when a fish is hooked and word is typed (disappears when you complete typing word or typed incorrectly)
• functionality to check when fish is on the line (fish can be hooked)
• cleaned up code a bit
• made the game look nicer with some better sky, dock, and water assets

to do:

• implement fish caught/fish got away behavior
• create UI (menu, how to play, fish hooked, fish missed, fish caught, fish got away, game over)
• (maybe) implement parallax sky movement
• polish gameplay

I'm late to starting my fishfest game, but I finally have a pretty solid idea for what I'm doing. Here's a screenshot of my very basic interface so far.

My goal for today is to finish my design doc as there's a few functionality and code questions I need to answer, and then hopefully get the fish movement working.
