Instructions to run the file:
1)Download and unzip the file below
2) run a local server and access the file this way (it will not work otherwise unless you download the p5 editor and open it using the play button)
3) wait about 2 minutes before clicking the game to start. There are a lot of graphics so it takes a really long time to load so I would just keep clicking around the top of the screen after about 2 minutes until it loads and lets you play
4)refresh the page to restart if u lose and enjoy! Also don’t come too close to the edges of the screen.
Here is the embedded code just in case:

For this project I wanted to create a game based mostly on graphics, visuals, and backgrounds. I wanted to create a game where the player has to navigate through a tricky trap-like environment. The player has to avoid coming into contact with the inhabitants of an imaginary realm while hurrying to reach a portal to get back to the human realm. They have to navigate through a mob of spiders resting on top of lillypads without touching them and being seen. This project was really fun for me, despite having to code the positions of the spiders individually so that they would fit nicely on top of the lillypads that I chose. I really enjoyed making the background in particular, which I made for this project by painting first in watercolor, then scanning into photoshop and drawing ontop of it digitally. I also really enjoyed coming up with the narrative aspect of the project, and the world building.
