One fish

Last night I decided to work on my Channel F game. I put a fish in it. It's green. It moves like the fireball in level 2 from right to left. When it reaches the left side of the screen, a new one appears. I spent a long time trying to make it so no traces of the cranberry were on the screen. I think I succeeded. But I needed to think of a way to make it differ from the fireball that I put in the game earlier, which does the same thing. So I decided to make it move up and down.

I made it so when it reaches the bottom it begins to rise and when it reaches the top it begins to sink. A random number tells the fish what to do in the beginning (at the right side of the screen). If it's below 85 then move up and if it's above 170 then move down. If it's between 85-170 then it moves straight. 255/3=85, so that works out well.

 

A lot of work went into making the fish look okay when he was on the screen. And yet even more work went into making the level end temporarily when you get past the fish. But now I have no ideas on what to do next...
