So today's task was to program in the ending of Oranges. To test the ending, I set the starting score to 999, since the game should end at 1,000 points. I am not going to say anything about the ending because I want you to play the game and see the ending that way. There is still work to do on Oranges, but it got too hot to work on the computer any more. I have 264 bytes left until the 2k limit has been reached. Since the stuff that needs to be done now consists of changing values already programmed in, I think I did a good job with a 2k limit. But the game is kind of easy. I can't really speed up the oranges any faster than they are now. If I attempt to, I fear that their movement will be choppy, unattractive, and, worst of all, make the orange invisible to Bob since it might pass through him without touching him. So anyway, I'm sleepy but if I go to sleep now I'd wake up in the middle of the night. It's only 5pm. Well, I'd wake up at 5am, and I've told you about the annoying cat I have. She's especially annoying between 5am and 5:30am, when Mom is getting ready to leave here. And then the pets get fed at 5:30am.
