I really wanted to try and deal with a bug that was reported for this project, even though the challenge is long done and I already got the really cool badge, especially since I was able to recreate the issue and it seemed as though it was a bug that'd be in my other projects that use the code as well.

I put in more of a work around rather than properly addressing the issue. In general, it's all about the way one actor is considered to be holding another and when it stops. I'd rather look at what I need for a proper fix in that the One Day project where I use the code for the character's clothing and appearance which has a little more to it than just having a turtle hold one frog for a short time.

I was also able to deal with a few memory leaks that probably weren't helping things at all.

Much more fun, though, was to finish work on what was supposed to be Level 3 in the game. It's a very large level that's 128*128 tiles with two large land masses and a couple of smaller islands. You start off the level having to navigate a maze of non-sinking turtles to get to one of the two large land masses. From there, it's avoiding traffic of a few streets winding around everywhere. I added in a star checkpoint that you can grab in a few places so that you don't have to start at the very beginning if you die or even just make it to a lily pad. There's a few empty areas the player doesn't really have any way or reason to get to but all in all, I think the level turned out pretty good.

Project page has been updated with the new download.
