I've never really written a "game" in Basic before, so this may be beyond the grasp of ten days, but I thought it might be kinda neat if I could write a little program for my wife for Valentine's Day. I'd like to have two characters at the bottom of the screen, a boy and a girl, set on a 2D plane. I'd like the joystick to control the boy's left-right movement. When the button is pressed, I'd like him to throw a flower to the girl and have her "catch" it.
I have no idea how to draw sprites (or if that's even the right parlance) but I feel like this is something that might be doable for me. What do you think?
