Animal Diet • This is a game made for a school project. The idea was to make something educational. “I didn't have much time to work on it, but I consider this to be just a PROTOTYPE and I'll keep working on it as soon as I have some free time. ““I'll also work on the game art and by the time I'm done it will look much different.”http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/3768
