I spent most of yesterday, once again, trying to get Android to work.

Yesterday was spent mostly watching a lot of progress bars.
Not a lot I can do when both the MacMini and Laptop are sitting there copying insane amounts of data over to the new NAS drive.

iOS and Android are both still missing from my compile-target list.
Yesterday's Mac attempt was (finally!) successful, but the iOS version requires a hefty rewrite of the graphic and input functions from GLFW3 to GLES, because iOS is awkward!!

Probably should've got back into the swing of coding, yesterday, but spent most of the day playing with my new GPD Win.

My monthly calendar reminder popped up, last night, to remind me to do all of my "full" backups.

OK, the mouse stuff seems to be working with overscan, now, which is good.
Additionally, the Game Controller code appears to be kinda ok.
I've set up the engine/framework/etc to assume all controllers are "The player's input", so I'm going to be doing 1-player only stuff until I can be bothered to faff about with it some more and implement multiplayer controller code!
Unfortunately, I don't 100% trust what GLFW3 is telling me.
The controller input list here is suggest...

Yesterday was a horrific day.

I swear, if I see another system update, this week, I'm going to go crazy..

I haven't got around to tackling Streams, yet, and have spent all morning working on audio loading functionality.
Mainly that the thing kept breaking when trying to load too many files.
Typical memory leaks and the like were fairly rampant, too.
But I've persevered, and I think it's more or less stable, now.

Each week, Player's pass their thoughts on the crazy random games I make, and I go over their comments, commenting on their comments.
It's a Comment-o-Rama!
If you want to join in. Comment!!

Overview: Endless dungeon exploration with huge amount of monsters to kill. All the monsters have escaped from the ''The Dangerous World of Castles''(TDWOC) to inhabit the dungeons.

I've given up with Android for now. I'm going to carry on without it, and maybe in the future once I've regrown my hair, I'll be able to pull it out all over again, trying to get the bloomin' thing to work.
Meanwhile..
That'll be it running as a Mac.exe (or whatever a Mac app is, nowadays)

OUYA's been dead for a couple of years, now, but it seems that Razer's latest plan is to replace "Android TV Gaming" with "Android Mobile Gaming", and .. well, I've written about that, before.

Developments

In total, I only played about 3hr 50mins of Sonic Mania, yesterday, according to the Switch Parental Control app.

Developments

Pixel-based collision detection is all but impossible with Monkey-X, due to the simple issues of rotation and scaling, along with more complicated screen resolution and orientation complications, and then the complete lack of 100% accuracy when it comes to drawing to buffers. (Although that last one is mostly down to Android, which likes to dither any and all images when the screen doesn't quite have full colour available.)

Each July I have to pay my ?79.00 to keep dev'ing for iOS.
My previous game was SpikeDislike3, which I launched in June 2015.
The latest iOS release was (URL "https://itunes.apple.com/app/quadoban/id1258518067">Quadoban... today.)
That means I've actually gone 2 whole entire PAID years (2015-2016 and 2016-2017) without releasing a single thing on iOS.

Rollyblob has been released, and not everyone's happy.
I thought I should make today's blog a bit of a "How it came to be what it is" tale.

Watching

I watched the UbiSoft E3 conference, yesterday.

The new laptop has one fatal flaw..

I've been using SyncToy for as long as it's been available.
Released as one of the .net showcases (IIRC) it basically scans two folders, decides what the latest versions of the files are, and duplicates the two folders with all the latest files intact.

Shelley's floor is the wrong colour.

New laptop's all up and running!

Yesterday's large v3.0 KORG Gadget update brought along with it the ability to record audio, and since I tend to always attempt at least one new track with each new feature.. That mea...
