[Bontz-team] fish monger

[Owen Swerkstrom]

I like the idea, and since it'll be work for me I
naturally have an idea that will be work for you too! 
Mwaha.  I envision a sprite with several layers so
that all the fish will be flopping around amongst
themselves in a big basket that the guy carries out. 
I think the guy should carry the thing in one
direction, however we want him to show up on the
screen, dump the fish, then turn around and leave. 
Unless you want the player to control the fish monger,
in which case I need a re-think.  But this would give
us what you're talking about, a complex animation (and
sprites overlapping each other)

the attached cheesy preconception is sort of
exaggerated, the basket wouldn't need to be so huge
(or so deep anyway) for carrying four fish, but you
get the idea.  As for the look of the guy, that'll
probably change too.  Perhaps a characateur (sp?) of
you, since you've always got your fish shirts on... 
:^)
