No Game Engine Game Dev: Word Sleuth 096: Starting a plant growing doodad

Game Engines are for sissies!

Today we started implementing the last of the doodads. I added three pots with dirt to the scene. I added three seed envelopes of different colors to the scene. I added a sun and cloud to the scene. This was enough visual resources to start the interactions. Right clicking on the sun moves it over the pots and waits there while the dirt dries. Right clicking on the cloud moves it over the pots, rain falls from the cloud and the dirt in the pots gets wet.

Lastly I started on the planting sequence. If you right-click an envelope, the unclicked envelopes fade out while the selected one moves over each pot and is tipped upside down. Tomorrow we'll make a seed fall out of the envelope to the pot and start maintaining plant state for the animation of plants growing.
