I got an idea for Frank the Fruit Fly again. So I went to work on it. The screen involves two people clapping. And Frank tries not to get into the middle of their hands. (If Frank gets clapped in, he'll lose 3 points of health). Lots of things got into my way while programming this screen, but the most notable one is the fact that I can't draw. Which is worsened by the fact that my game I'm trying to make is graphics-heavy. This is what my first attempt looks like.

I spent at least ten minutes trying to design the hands. I don't even think any of this is recognizable as two people clapping. I looked at my hand from that angle. I drew, erased, drew, erased. Perhaps if I draw some arms for the people.
