Weird things going on in Area 51.73

Worked on Frank the Fruit Fly today. I spent almost all morning on it. It's after 11 a.m. and I think I have this screen done.

This marks the first time I'm using random numbers in the game. Frank just got near Area 51.73. And the aliens stored in it aren't liking him. So they're trying to zap Frank with ray guns. The lasers move vertically, starting at a random x position. Frank has to maneuver in the "maze" to the right to get to the next screen. The maze was hard to do. I tried once again to put GoSub-style code in the game, but it's just not working. So if you touch the wall, desert winds make you move back left.

And apparently, people were having trouble wondering what to do in the button-laden wall in level 1. So I fixed that.

And today marks the first time in a few days I haven't written a single banana joke. I think I'll have to use that "fruit salad joke book" idea I had because I got a few pages done and got stuck.
