PL1:
How about scorpions for the higher levels?

Maybe use different colors to indicate different levels of venom/lethality/strike speed?
- Picture one that kills with a single sting and another that slows your frog with the first sting and kills it with the second.

If it were me I'd have the snakes kind of "steer" towards you but still travel across the screen like all the other obstacles. As in if you are in row three and it's in row two and there's an open space above it it'll move up to row three and continue it's path across the screen but not chase you like a pac-man ghost or anything. Of course you'd have to worry about how it interacts with traffic then so it might prove too cumbersome to code.

I love the idea of having threats chase the player. It definitely would add some more dynamics to the levels.

As you say, though, the traffic does pose a challenge with moving things vertically. Right now all core logic and collision detection is based on having things move horizontally (excluding the player of course).

I'll play around with some things and see what I can come up with.

Coincidentally, I have ideas for a desert-theme world, so scorpions would fit right in! :cheers:

Cracked open one of those garage boxes full of dumpster dive monitors. Now my home office has a huge 24" 16:10 monitor in it, replacing the 20" 4:3. This one supports HDMI so I can retire that cheap HDMI -> VGA adapter that's been hanging off the laptop.

Bought a soundbar from Best Buy for $60 shipped overnight. The PC speakers previously hooked up to my 4 player pedestal have been moved to the home office. Not as powerful as the ancient dead ones but they thump enough.

Wal-Mart thinks I'm Latino and pays me to take surveys occasionally. Used that to get an optical cable for the sound bar.

And so it goes.

Sound bar is now mounted to the wall below my turtle box pedestal tv.

Streets of Rage thumps like never before.

This was a good upgrade.

You have given me an idea for an idle soundbar orphaned by our move a year and a half ago
