Creation History

User prompt

This rotation should continue until they're pointing at 90 degrees downward, and then should go back to normal the moment they flap.

User prompt

The player's character and the flap image should have their right side dip towards the ground when they're falling slowly.

User prompt

The flap image should always be 100% transparent while it's visible. Sorry, 100% opaque while it's visible.

User prompt

Actually, that's too long. Make it about a quarter second.

User prompt

The flap image should display for about a half a second.

User prompt

The flap image should also be doubled in size.

User prompt

Let's double the size of the player's character.

User prompt

Add instructions when the game begins that tells the player how to play.

User prompt

Copy the game over state but not the pop-up when the game begins where everything is frozen and nothing is playing.

User prompt

Freeze all assets on screen until the player presses the Start button.

User prompt

The game is starting before the player clicks the start button. It needs to not start, and the pelican should not be flying. It should be motionless until the start button is pressed.

User prompt

Create a pop-up that includes instructions for the player and a start button. The game will not begin until the player has pressed the start button from this pop-up menu.

User prompt

When the game starts, gameplay should be frozen.

User prompt

The game should be in the Game Over state before the game begins and the player clicks the Start button.

User prompt

Let's prevent the game from starting until the user clicks the screen button that says OK, start.

User prompt

Let's change the color from orange to black for the plus 10 and increase the size of the stroke.

User prompt

Let's make the stroke thicker for the player score at the top of the screen.

User prompt

Let's add a 4-pixel stroke to the player's score at the top of the screen.

User prompt

Let's give the plus 10 text a white outline

User prompt

Let's double the size of the yum graphic and raise the plus 10 higher so it doesn't overlap.

User prompt

The Yum! graphic will have its own unique art.

User prompt

Let's create a new graphic that will appear when the fish is eaten to replace the yum text.

User prompt

The boat should actually appear randomly as the game goes on, and shouldn't appear more than twice every 60 seconds, and only ever one at a time.

User prompt

The boat's opacity should be 80%.

User prompt

Slow the boat by half its speed.
