New bugs/features that were fixed before posting them are bold and crossed out like this.

Bugs to fix:

• Reset midscreenx and y variables to new evolution's animation
• show an animation when pet levels up to inform user of said event
• All animations are not resetting their animation for the next time they are called even when told to update frame by frame. (ie:  food, all emotes from pets especially noticable is eating).
• Add sound for when user can't afford an item in the shop -- possibly also a non-sound alert.
• Replace any System.out.println's that user needs to know with MsgBox alerts.

Bugs/Feature post 1

The way I'll organize is this.  I'll list them this first time.  Each time I make an update, I'll copy the previous list and add a slash-through for each item fixed or implemented.  The next time after that, you won't see the item in the list.  Here we go!

First post of new petsim blog

This is to establish the first post of this blog.  Here are two screenshots of the current indev version:

Shop/Inventory menu open

 Most of the rest of the posts will be about to be added features and bugfixes, but look out for more screenshots when it gets closer to a final product (or when I'm particularly proud of a new addition).
