June 16th

In order to stop the cat from escaping out of the path of the fireball by going off screen I made a total of 6 new boundary sprites lined 3 on each side. This then causes the cat to bounce back after hitting the boundary sprites. I also made the cat just a little bit smaller because with the add fireball, it caused the game to be a little more harder then I wanted. This so far is the game ........

June 14th

OK so this is the updated version with the updates that Jeff asked me to make.
Fireball
I changed the death variable to lives and set them to 9 like he did on his remix. I then also added how he changed the cat into its dead costume. I also add another fireball with a different turn time to make it different. I also got the score system up today thanks to this link.

June 1st

OK so this is how far I'm at on my program: fireball
from this program, I got help from Anthony as to adding gravity to the cat and having the fireball fly around at random. With the fireball I'm still trying to work out a bug with when you start it, it normally gets stuck to where its just keeps going side to side or up and down. I believe I fixed this problem by changing the value of the degrees from being 15 to 25 to allow for a more dramatic change in direction. I also added a well death count value where after you die 5 times the program ends and just stops. I also changed it to where when you hit the down arrow the cat becomes small and your able to dodge the fireball better. Sense this will be my only post this week,i'll include that next week i'll begin to try to fix the error of the cat being able to go some off the screen to dodge the fireball so that its stuck inside the edge and then i'll also try to transform the cat into an explosion when its hit by the fireball. I'll be hopefully adding a life value and start making a score calculator. Later on I plan on upgrading the look of the fireball so it looks more like a fireball then just a circle with yellow dots on it with a crappy flame on the back. I'll also be later adding a flame sound as the fireball flies from left to right, I don't know if I can make it where it sounds like the flame is going from 1 head phone to the other to allow for a more interactive effect to the game.

May 23

Today I was trying to work on making a smiley just randomly flash but also run around the screen until the scratch cat touched it and it then disappears.
OK so instead of using a smiley I just decided to put in a fireball(crappy looking but its a fireball) to randomly fly around the screen but I'm trying to perfect it as to it will randomly fly around and just change direction when it hits the edges of the screen.  
This is what i have so far, it looks crappy but I'm still working on it
