It's time to, once again, fight against the evils of the Horizontal Shooter!

Each month I receive the wonderful Arcade Block from (URL "https://NerdBlock.com">NerdBlock.com)
When you initially sign up, you give them a T-Shirt size, and every month you get a lovely Arcade related TShirt, along with a box full of odd pieces of tat.
Some of the tat is garbage, some of the tat looks nice on a shelf, and occasionally some of the tat is pure awesomeage!

.. although, technically, I think this is meant to be December's, it just got delayed with Xmas and New Year!

A very Platdude based blog entry, today!

Yesterday I spent a good couple of hours recreating the classic Codemasters title "3D Starfighter" before realising "This game's shit!!"
The game was abandoned where it was, but I've left the code in the Arcade Calendar, so I might sneak it in as a bonus game, or something.. *shrugs*
It's not a "bad" game, it's just really really dull!!!

Yesterday was spent tweaking various difficulty settings. There are 11 (0-10) available difficulties being coded into the level generator, and this video shows what happens at Level 3.
Level 0 is easiest, with fewer easier to manage baddies, whilst level 10 is full of spikes and nasty Duck-Turrets.
Today I'...

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.

Longest Backup.. EVER!!
Finally, SyncToy has reached a point where it's no longer stumbling across oodles of random files that it somehow managed to miss on the previous 80-or-so p...

Aaah, iTunesConnect.
When Invisible Munky 2 launched, the other day, I noticed something odd in my iTunesConnect pages.
Where there's usually a "Request Promo Codes" link, there was none.

Yesterday, someone new registered on my home village's website (LittleLever.info)
They, of course, instantly forgot their password, so used the "I forgot my password" button to find it out.
At this point I should probably explain why I've mentioned this..!
About a year ago, the original owner of LittleLever.info gave up paying for a site that never had any visitors. He stopped payments, and the site fell into disrepair before eventually getting pulled down com...

Developments

Not a lot of coding got done, yesterday. I continued to fiddle with the new sprites, and got enemies spawning in the level, but then I started thinking about iOS again.
For the past year I've been focussing on OUYA. I've been making all my games controller happy, and as a result, have been neglecting touchscreen controls. I'm not sure why, probably all the AppleWatch stuff that's currently flooding my Twitter feed, but I'm finding myself somewhat nostalgic for the times...

Welcome to the new daily blog section of AGameAWeek.com. I could do with reorganising the layout of the site, if I'm honest!

Yesterday

Yesterday I did a few odd little bits and pieces. I got "bombs" to work in the new engine, and managed to get a feel for the game. So far, so good. I think!
