Developments

Not an awful lot, yesterday.
Between having family over (pre-Xmas present swapping) I was also having to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait for Mario Run to turn up on iOS.
Bloomin' heck, that took a while, didn't it!?
It wasn't until 5:30pm GMT that the game finally appeared.
Even worse, over in Japan (eg, WHERE NINTENDO LIVES!) the game didn't actually release until the early hours of the 16th of December, thus completely killing the whole "Release on the 15th" thing that Nintendo have been banging on about for the past month or so.

Whether this was down to Nintendo or Apple, I'm not sure, but I sure as hell don't imagine Nintendo were happy about the situation.

Apple really need to sort out timings.
It's ridiculous that a launch as big as this could be marred by timezones!
It's bad enough when I say "Free for a day", but am never actually bloody sure what day that'll actually be. But for something as huge as Nintendo launching Mario on what is essentially a competing platform (especially once the whole Tablet/Switch comes into play) it's beyond laughable that this could happen.

.. And all the waiting.. FFS!!

Anyway, last night I set about working on the Portrait mode of the menu system. It's currently a bit messy due to the fact that the actual main menu wants to work with up/down keys, but the "Sidebar" elements are at the top and bottom, which also requires up and down keys.
Hmmm...

Hopefully I can figure that all out, today.
