== Wednesday - Friday (9/28/11 - 9/30/11) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Begin work on your Basic Frogger Game
*# Give your game a simple background
*# You will need several sprites.
*# 1 player sprite will be the player and it will cross the screen by using the keyboard.
*# 3-5 enemy sprites will be used to move back and forth vertically across the screen (the number depends on how big you make them)
*# When you play your game, you want to cross the entire screen without hitting the enemy sprites.
*# Start the player off with 3 lives (HINT: use a variable)
*# If you hit any of the enemy sprites:
*## Subtract one life away
*## Say "Ouch!"
*## Move the player back to its starting location
*# If lives hits 0, then say "Game Over" and end the game
*# If the player reaches the other side of the screen, then say "You win!"
*#* Hint: You can use all sorts of different ways to detect how you hit the other side of the screen
*#* Create a long sprite that you detect hitting OR...
*#* Check the y-coordinate of the sprite and if it is greater than the upper bound of the screen
