So I woke up this morning after going to sleep shortly after the last blog entry. I decided to attempt to put an octopus in GoSub. Everything went well and about an hour later, I had a randomly moving octopus moving around the screen.

But there is a problem. I don't like the octopus sprite I designed. I designed two octopus sprites for a 2-frame animation. The problem is that I can only have an 8x8 sprite designed for it.

Tomorrow I will attempt to add some collision detection to the sprites.

I am satisfied with the way this is turning out. Now that I solved the coral issue, I won't work on Tempest and instead work on this.

So how did I solve the coral problem? I added a second 8x8 section of the screen to check. The section is decided by the direction the sub is moving. I'm not exactly clear on how it works, but it does, so I'm sticking with it.
