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

Feeling good about my progress! I have:

• fishies spawning on a timer
• new fish type spawns when you hit a certain number of fish caught
• basic typing mechanism implemented
• new word shown when a fish is "caught"
• word is destroyed when you finish typing it correctly

Next goals

• destroy word if player types the next letter incorrectly
• show/hide typing UI when fish is hooked/word is typed
• implement mechanic to hook fish

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.
