Background graphics with animations

November 3rd	Final

• The slot machine in the November prototype is quite bare-bones, lacking several details that would appear in the final game.
  • The simple hole that operates the slot machine was replaced with an elaborate glass cage.
  • A bunch of shading was added to the blue area, as well as connections between the shapes and the central cage. The top shapes were shifted down to accommodate the top-most shade.
  • On the topic of the squares and triangles, they had their colors changed to a cycling yellow palette.
  • The indigo color used by the slot machine was updated to a proper blue.
• The protoype's second palette is missing the colors needed for Rings, which is obviously a problem. The colors in the object palettes had to be shuffled around to accommodate both the Rings and the updated slot machine...

November 3rd
Final

• ...which would result in the slots themselves losing some of their details.
• A layout is present, but collision has not been implemented.
