rise and shine, sweet peashooter -Sunflower Opera O, probably.

Hello again fellow citizens! Today is another day for another plug-in! And this time... To complete the Starter squad of Wall-Nut, Peashooter and Potato Mine... We got SUNFLOWER! The very essential Sun Producer of (almost) every level of Plants Vs. Zombies!
Contents And Behind The Makings
- Fig 2. A Sunflower circle is always full of chatter.
So, this one has been a bit interesting to make, because I decided to apply a new way of applying frames along with
rotational awareness, and it's somewhat simple! Instead of providing 4 separate images, I decided to provide one long image that will be segmented into 4 equal frames by the given JSON attributes (count and w) here.
So basically, a single reel of photos as opposed to 4 separate squares of photos.
- Fig 3. The reel itself. Each Sunflower is contained in a 32*32 square.

Anyways, aside from the rotation awareness, this plug-in contains a single draft of a 1*1 Sunflower... Can be built for 500 Theons initially, and it will be built in an instant.

- Fig 4. And with that, our Starter Squad is NOW COMPLETE!
For future ideas:
- I'd like
Sunflower to emit light at night with a night animation... But I feel like that's
out of my depth as I have applied rotation awareness... And no, I don't want to apply that for each frame. Maybe for someone simple like
Plantern instead.
- There's also
Twin Sunflower and
Primal Sunflower but... That's for another day. Not tomorrow, or overmorrow... But someday.
- Oh, and the
Imitater version of Sunflower... With a moustache this time.
For my final words:
- The making felt a bit short (I mean, it's a 1x1 plug-in after all) and quite manageable... Especially with how I arranged my .psd file for this to make a rotationally-aware plug-in. You can try and check how I arranged it by checking the .psd file yourself below. (I use Photopea for that btw.)

- To
@Kribas who's asking for a Sunflower plug-in... Here it is, buddy!
- Also, probably the last PvZ-related plug-in I'll probably make for now. I'd like to go back and make some other plug-in ideas too... Or most definitely, a needed rest. Don't worry, I might come back to it after making the next plug-in.
Now, if you have any thoughts or feedback to provide, please provide them in this thread below!
Once again,
have a bright day ahead, fellow citizens!
