Yesterday after I posted my blog entry, I got bored. So I decided to continue work on Frank. After a few hours, I finally got it so pressing a button makes the game start. What's more is I finally got it to make a second song play. I went to sleep for 11 hours (couldn't get to sleep until 1 a.m.) and woke up and changed the second song from a test to an actual second song. It isn't a very long song, though. I want to have as much space available as possible for the game elements. Right now the game is at 13.6k instead of the 12.2k it was at yesterday, mostly because I put a second song in.

So now I have to figure out a thing for Frank to do. I'm thinking of the four buttons for Frank to press in a correct order to pass to a new screen. But I really don't want to do that today since I worked a lot on the game now. I know I said that yesterday and I ended up working on the game anyway.

I ate some fishsticks last night. I cooked them in the microwave even though it told me not to. Yummy clumpy mess of fish carcasses with tartar sauce. No wonder my stomach has been hurting: I eat crap for food. But I'm sick of being sick. And at the same time I don't want to give up food that tastes good. I have to decide between eating stuff that tastes good and not feeling good, or eating stuff that doesn't taste good and feeling good.
