Part 1:
I wanted to use Sprites from Itch.io for this project and found a cute and free pack of them here.
The features I want to add within this part are:
*Sprites (each instance of the object should be a random sprite from the set) *Random size within a certain range *Random Tint
After reading the excerpt from The Nature of Code, I wanted to make the movement in my code reliant on switching directions based upon mouse position and use mirroring to display the gif’s directional movement more naturally.
I implemented a simple if function to change a speed multiplier (-1 or 1) for both the x and y directions. Here’s the current code.
Further work on this project could be using some kind of tethering function to have the fish circle around certain points or something similar.
