I’m making some progress, although not quite as much as I would have liked.

The helicopter can now collide with the walls of the cavern. The player has a score, and the helicopter is far more controllable than it was at the end of day one.

Here’s a screenshot that shows the helicopter in a canyon in a cavern.

The helicopter flies through a cavern.

Still lots to do, such as…

• when the player reaches the end of the level they are congratulated and shown their score
• when the water reaches the helicopter it’s game over
• the helicopter should respond when it collides with the walls of the cavern (haven’t decided yet if it’ll crash or just deduct some points and continue)
• scientists
• sensible scoring
• sound effects

But it’s getting there.
