Water Bottle Sprite

Hi!

This is Nhu from Team Q. Our team would like to request that the water bottle sprite have some kind of pulsating aura around it so that it can stand out to the player.

Thank you,
Team Q

I updated the older sprite post I made by adding more images to the files

Progress, Direction, and Requests

Hey, this is Jon from Team R. We've started the coding process and we completed 90% of a class that defines all the Food Objects. We haven't properly gotten the sprite images individually "boxed" from your image files, however we have decided on the food items we want to use.
We plan to use a 2 dimensional 5x5 array to designate positions on the screen. We are planning to use a point and click approach to selecting food on the screen rather than a mouse click and drag. For now, we are simplifying the pig to just be a sprite that follows the time bar and gives positive reactions to making good choices in food selection. We are going to create another class just for the blood sugar meter and we are currently leaving the point system on hold until we can test some things. We haven't decided upon menu designs yet.
We do have some some requests pertaining to additional art images. Since our progress isn't too far, I will only tell requests for the most immediate needs that we have just in case we decide to change our ideas about what kind of images we may want.
For now, we request a greater variety of "good/healthy" food images. For example, we'd like brocolli, a tomatoe, an apple, cabbage. Things like that. A particular image we are planning on using is the lemon, but it is not immediately discernable as a lemon. It may be mistaken for candy so we'd like more options to choose from. It would be much appreciated if you could fulfill this request. Thanks.
