Developments

Yesterday I was trawling through YouTube, and watched Dan Bull's latest video.

At one point (about 1:25 in) he starts complaining about how some of the buttons need held, whilst other buttons don't work if held too long.
"Unless you want to think of Remembering Which Buttons Take However Long To Press as some sort of mini puzzle game"...

Hmmm...

So ... um.. I made that!
It's available at GameJolt for now.
Since posting it, I've had bigger and better ideas for the game, so I might actually spend some time bulking it up (and/or completely rewriting it) and turning it into this week's AGameAWeek-Proper. But we'll have to wait and see!

Meanwhile...

I dragged the Puzzobomb folder over to the Mac and hit the "Compile me an iPhone Game!" button.
It failed.
It failed spectacularly..

The way I have my level data is incompatible with the way that Monkey compiles for iOS.
My very very very large "Select/Case", (which currently stores all the levels), leads to the compiler throwing a wobbler, as it tries to convert the Select to a HUGE list of "If/Else" statements, and eventually gets itself tangled up in the mess, to the point at which XCode will no longer compile the thing.

D'oh!

Today I'm going to have to reorganise things a little better.
Hopefully it won't take too long.

I plugged an old Hard Drive into my system, last night, and spent a good number of hours trawling through that. Old favourites re-emerged, and .. Blimey, I don't half keep a lot of rubbish!

Although I've now resurrected my old mod/midi archive, I KNOW I'm still missing some stuff.
My original AL-Mods are still missing.
Hmmm..

Don't worry. They'll turn up, eventually!
I have many more old Hard Drives to dig through

Daily Doodle : Still Leaping

Poor Dolly has hurt one of her flippers.
Luckily, Platdude took her to a vet who knows just the right sort of cast to hold it sturdily, whilst still letting her leap around as always.

Misc..
