Well, I was going to do a tutorial on how to make a class-based preloader, but I'm getting really frustrated with it. It was working for a while, and now it's not working, and I'm not sure why. This is programming, so of course it's something rational, I just have to track it down.

In the mean time I put preloading aside, and did some more work on the Faith-o-Meter. This is the dial at the bottom of the screen that displays your level of faith. You have to keep it relatively centered while moving apostle Peter across the screen with your keyboard. At least that's the goal.

Check it out, I got the faith-o-meter mostly working, including many variable adjustments to change the difficulty.

Now I'm going to work on learning sprite animation and collision detection.
