640 × 400. - Design a creature that resembles a sentient being.
- Use one neutral (black, white, gr{e|a}y, brown, beige, bronze, cream) and one non-neutral color in the design of your creature.
- Pressing any of the arrow keys moves your creature by a factor of 1. You decide the definition of the factor. (
factor=4 pixels;factor=8 pixels; etc.) - Pressing non-arrow keys should be ignored.
