So I woke up at 4 pm. I got about 14 hours of sleep. I kept having weird dreams and I kept waking up from them because a couple of them were scary weird dreams. After I got home from my birthday party (you'd think I would have the party at the house where I live, but no.) I was back to work on my Game Gear game.

Now the score counter works. And I made several minor changes to the digits in it. The numbers 3 and 5 in particular weren't very clear so I made them a little better. And I also made it so if the mouth is closed the food bounces off and lands on the floor below. Which if it's a healthy food is good, and if it's a junk food you lose a life. I need to put in a life counter. I also need to add a title screen. And if you eat the cookie (the only food in the game so far), the score increases by a point.

So I've decided to do this in baby steps. On Monday I will attempt making a vegetable and sticking it in the game. My goal is to put four different kinds of junk food and four different kinds of vegetables, and have them come at you randomly. And I've done it on other consoles (like the Channel F), so I want to achieve a random result. I also changed the guy's skin tone.
