Latest Game : 31st October 2022 : Bubble Munky
This is a complete list of my games and tools created for SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch.

Didn't get anywhere yesterday.
BlastTrax Scrapped!!

The Rainbow Road even looked bad. I've given up on doing a BlastTrax for this week, I think.

I spent a good number of hours trying to find a nice graphical style for a new BlastTrax, last night.

I've had this week's ALChoon sitting on my drive since last Thursday, waiting to be posted.
Now that it's gone, my drive is lonely, and needs another ALChoon.

Yeah, I might redo Traxicle in the Browsercade.

There's no new SpikeDislike theme, this week. It's far too late in the day to start work on something for that!
Typically I'd've done that yesterday afternoon, but BlastTrax on Switch proved incredibly hard to finish off in time, with me finally getting it uploaded about half ten last night.

A wormhole? A space track? A rainbow road?
The only thing I know for certain, is that you really oughta shoot things along the way.
If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

A tweet from Jamie84303 last night asked for further tweaks to the Browsercade controller, this time the onscreen version.
Yup.. Looks like there's more controller stuff in my future!!

A decade is over, and what have I done?
373 games, created a new blogging script for here, rewritten the Socoder forum, started a few new sites and more!
Oh, and a brain tumour!
It's been a wild and crazy decade, and over the next few days I'll be looking back at the best (and worst) games from the decade.

Developments

Yesterday, I finally (*finally!!*) got around to adding a life display to NeonPlat Adventures 2!

There they are at the top, between the score and the "coin" count.
Two little N...

Developments

So, with all my games now missing from OUYA, it's time to start popping them all back on again.
One by one, I'm opening old code, fixing up any issues, and getting the games updated to the newer framework.
The new controller code is a piece of piss, since I did all that work in the Monkey Target part of Monkey. Essentially, I need only hit the recompile button, and the new controller code magically fits itself into the game.
The tricky part is adding a "Quit G...

Melodical Developments

Last night I re-rendered and uploaded the entire (URL "https://archive.org/details/PrecariousAlBum">Precarious Al Bum to Archive.org)
Annoyingly, I forgot to trim the tails on the tracks, so they all end with about a half-a-second of silence. Ooops..
I'll have to poke around in Archive.org's settings and see if I can update the files, but I imagine they're probably going to have to stay like that.

Developments

More files..
Found a whole bunch of old videos on one of my old hard drives, so spent literally HOURS, last night, copying them over to the NAS drive.
Bah.
Windows 10 seems to focus a lot on file transfers, meaning my laptop was practically unusable whilst the transfer was taking place. I certainly didn't have that issue last week when transferring millions of files from NAS to NAS, so it's either Win10 that's doing it, or the fact that I was transferring from...

I could've sworn I did SOMETHING, yesterday!
..but can I remember what?
I should probably jot these things down, as I go!

Developments

I spent a lot of yesterday faffing about with the "Start" screen of SpikeDislike3.
At first I intended to have a giant spike be in the center of the screen, and in fact that's what happened for quite a while, but .. I'm not sure why, but I decided to switch to circles instead.
Reusing my generic stripy circle from my basic menu meant I didn't have to redraw anything, and the new "Start" screen looks rather neat. .. or at least, for something I've done, it does!

Since I'm spacing out my dev-time, I should hopefully have more time to do Dev-Diary type posts, as the games progress.
Hopefully, this will give you a little more insight into the sort of decision making that goes into AGameAWeek. I'll also try to take the time to add odd bits and pieces of craptastic-useless-trivia whenever I get the chance.
As frequent players will have noticed, I've been using a strange secondary numbering system for a long while. (Check out the Windows-Downloads to see th...

For a limited time only, a select few AGameAWeek games are 100% off, on iOS!

Until July 23rd (2014!) four of my more recent iOS games are free, because.. Um.. *shrugs*

Do you have an iOS device?
Are you sick to death of seeing nothing but clones of Flappy Birds and Threes*!?
Want a little more variety on your iPhing?!

This week, I started out with a severely disturbing game idea, and ended up with a nice happy colourful arcade puzzle-type thing!
Hurray for colourful splodges!!

If last week was an example of a good week, then this week is most definitely the polar opposite!
Welcome to a failed AGameAWeek!!

NeonPlat Extreme appears to be following the same path as BlastTrax, and gaining a nice bit of attention.
Knowing my luck, this will probably result in an equally similar amount of sales. ie, bog all!!
Folk seem to love my games, but getting them to try them is a bitch!!!
You can (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/GameList.php?ShowJust=311">Download NeonPlat Extreme here) for all kinds of devices!

Welcome to the Top 13 AGameAWeek Games of 2013
No other Top-10 lists appear to want to give any of my games any recognition at all, which kinda sucks since I've made a whole bunch of REALLY great games, this year! I don't even get a token "Made a shitload of games, this year" mention!
Sucks!!
So, sod them all, I'll make my own Top-10 list.
