Notes:

I am not done, I fell asleep in front of the computer around seven in the morning working on this.
I did pretty much most of it from scratch.

Stuff I used:

* I used a class I wrote that draws bricks.
* I modified a sprite I made a while back into the girl.
* I used a function I wrote that checks for collisions between a round object and a platform.

New stuff:

* I wrote a class that generates a random level
* I wrote a class that creates a jumping path for the girl.
* I wrote the engine that eats up the lvl data and puts that *nearly* endless batch of platforms on screen.
* Some changes to the way bitmaps are used in sprites.

Stuff I didn't need to do for this basic release:

* I created a complicated self updating Data structure that contains data about the grid of tiles on screen.(I didn't use it and didn't need to).

Stuff that I want to do and have not done in the 48h:

* The control scheme is supposed to be 'dirt based', meaning that you manipulate matter to direct the ball.
Currently for simplicity sake it is keyboard controlled.
Goal: I would like to try a different control scheme.

*Win / Lose: implementation.
Goal: The player gets a game over screen and a "You win" screen when it is apprpriate.
Goal#2: The player gets a smashing animation when he hits the girl heroine.

*Balance:
Currently it is too easy to catch the girl.
The game should adjust to player skill.
Goal: The girl jumps faster when you play well, and slows down a tiny bit if you are not doing so great.
Goal#2: You are only supposed to be able to control the ball when it is near platforms again using *dirt* so that will also help make the game more challenging.

*Variety:
There are only simple platforms currently and they are always going in the same general direction.
Goal: Add spikes and a level generator that makes twisty levels that go in different directions.
Goal#2: Different tiles and backgrounds as you progress.

General goal:
A polished game, where you control by painting dirt near the platforms, created walls and small bouncing ramps to make the ball change directions and jump.
