Turtle Animation
Hi there, I am currently in my final year at Staffordshire University studying Computer Games Design.

Re: Turtle Animation
Hey guys, Thanks for all the feedback I have added your suggestions to my list of improvements, most of which are similar, which is great :D somebody has also offered to create some music and sound effects for me when I have made the improvements that I want to make. I realised yesterday that I hadn't actually shared with… -
