A small prod from a user on Twitter made me wonder about the validity of getting the Framework finally running properly on iOS/Android, and so I took the challenge and came up with ...

I've a few tweaks to make on the HTML5 framework. Hopefully I can get the multitouch to work right on iOS Safari.

I think I definitely need to start integrating more mouse controls into my games!!

Yesterday was a horror show!!

Spent a good couple of hours on one tiny little task, yesterday!

Yesterday was a bit of a rest day, as I gradually wore myself down with all the coding I've been doing recently.

OK, here's one thing I've learned, today.
For .. Whatever.. reason, emscripten seems to work infinitely better if you #include ".cpp" instead of #include ".h" like you'd normally do.
I'm fairly sure this is "wrong", but screw it, I don't care!!
Look what I can play, right now, in my browser!!!

Tonight I made a quick list of all the things that I need to do for future Framework functionality.
First step, HTML..

Over on SoCoder, Spinal asked all about my old JMTrackr tool/player.
This is the second time it's cropped up in the past few days, (It was mentioned on Facebook a day or two ago) and it's got me wondering if I should attempt a new version of it for the C++ Framework... and more importantly, for JNKPlat2018.
You can learn more about JMTrackr here.

Saturday came and went, and I was supposed to spend Sunday getting back to coding Centipong again, but that didn't happen.
Instead, I spent some more time looking into the possibility of bundling Future AGameAWeek games together into a single .exe

For the past 24 hours, I've been wondering if I could somehow compile bunches of games into bundle.exe's

"I know", says I, "I'll write tomorrow's SoCoder newsletter now, so that I don't have to do it in the morning, and can instead get right back to doing the important coding!"
Nope.. Instead I was up until 3:30am doing the newsletter, and then didn't wake up until after 10, thus completely losing all the time I'd managed to save!
D'oh!

Seems like @RSKGames has helped to uncover the reason the leaderboards are so bloomin' empty.

Always evolving, the Framework needs more Scoreboard tweaking.
I was hoping to get this done, over the past week, but the Radial Warning complications and lack of gameplay, ended up shifting my focus.

This simple little menu has taken most of the past 24 hours to get working correctly.

@RSKGames says..
This is a comment about the recent feature ''enter your name'' after playing one time.

Yesterday, as I watched the empty scoreboards once more, I decided it was probably about time I "switched them on" properly.
-=-=-
Note : In order to activate online scores on my recent games, hop into the options screen, and Enter Your Name.

I've been focusing on JNKPlat much more than I should've, this week, and neglecting to get the Metal part of the framework up and running.
That'll be today's task.
Because I REALLY need to do that!

Maybe I'm coding this wrong, but I swear I'm doing everything the way I'm supposed to!!

Saturday.
My "week-off" is nearly over.
As I look back at what I've achieved this week, I'm somewhat astounded by how little I've managed to get functioning correctly.

...you must first, Break EVERYTHING!!!

God damnit, Apple..

I'm not 100% sure about those trees...

I've spent roughly a decade working in multiple scales, resolutions and ratios.
I've dealt with Android, with it's 57,000 different possible resolutions. I've handled iOS with portrait/landscape orientations. I've coped with Windows with a bazillion different possible window sizes..
But 3DS, with one single screen resolution!?!
AARGH!!!

Already the scaling is causing quirks!!

With the 3DS onslaught in full swing, and this week's game being delayed, what better time than to stop and pause, and think about the other myriad of things that I'd like to do..?!

After spending hours retweaking the 3DS part of the framework, I'm now mostly confident that everything's a little more compatible.
