Is that a green banana in your game?

So I got the Intellcart I'm borrowing to work on the Bananas are Good game in the mail today. Everything works okay on an actual INTV 2 (mine). Except the colors are all wrong. My banana looks green. Which means the light beige color isn't what it looks like on a real INTV. I tried adjusting the colors and I couldn't make it look the way it does on jzINTV. I feared that the button presses wouldn't work correctly (1 for slow, 2 for fast), but that worked out really well. And it will give me somet

Limit repositioning

So I went back to work on My Knee Hurts. This time I felt that the leg looked really blocky, so I went to fix it. Discovered though by fixing it that the X positions have changed. Instead of the right limit being 140, the germ went off the screen and reappeared on the left side. So did the needle. So I changed it to 110 and that stopped it, and it was like before. I wonder what I did to change that, though. Then I went to bed and got up the next afternoon. Went for another short walk. My thighs

Stupid!

All of the following happened in less than one second. This message popped up on my computer saying that I had three viruses on my computer and I needed to act now. I saw there was an info box with an OK button and I wasn't going to click that. I tried clicking back on my browser, but nothing happened. So I tried clicking back about a half dozen times and it went back to what I was doing. So I acted now by getting rid of that stupid message I got for god knows what reason. That was the first

The information

While i was play-testing the Aaron the Aardvark game, I noticed that on some backgrounds, the white text was partly unreadable. I decided after earlier trying to change the color of the text that something else needed to be done. Then it hit me: Change the background! So I went and put in a black background in each of the four background images. I thought it diminished further the quality of the image by making it use less colors. Then another idea hit me: Put the background as a level. This way
