First of all, it's been 5 years since I was on this forum, and I wasn't sure where to post this; so if I've put this post in the wrong place, I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm playing an old game, 3D Frog Frenzy, where you get to control the direction the frog hops, around obstacles and hopefully to the goal. …
