Still haven't posted this week's SoCoder newsletter, but it's about 95% done, and raring to go!
Once that's done, everything else on the todo list is done, and I'm ready to focus on the two games I need to write by Sunday!
Sorted!!!

The long awaited multiplayer sequel to the chaotic popcorn battler.

Right, today I need to buckle down and figure out how Popcorn Bucket is going to play.

Can you guess which of yesterday's checklist items didn't get done?
I'll give you a clue. I finished off the ALChoon and the Newsletter..

I haven't got a plan for this week. Not a clue..
Honestly, nothing. No idea.

The SmileBASIC framework can now cope with 4 players at once.
Hurray!
.. I think..!

The Multiplayer menu for SmileBASIC games is kinda functional, now, but the controllers aren't quite as good as they could be.

Yesterday was mostly spent watching the news, as the "Is she, isn't she" news of Queen Elizabeth II's health and eventual passing was all over the TV and Internet.

Browsercade's currently in a right mess, as I started work on the new controller code.
(But don't worry, it's only my home-edition that's broke!)

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

JNKPlat has been thrust upon the world of Switch, and now it's the watching game, as people try to decide if they like it or now.

Right then, let's prepare for a new "season" of AGameAWeek, shall we?

This week's SmileBASIC game turned out as a nicely playable game, so much so that I think I'm going to rewrite it in Browsercade.

Two mice are in a maze. Which will get the most cheese?

Platdude inches his way towards an inevitable Cease and Desist, as he tries to free his garden of uninvited creatures.

1. I wonder how good I could get something like Quadoban working in JSE?

As the games continue to splot out onto the web, so the comments and thoughts are returned.
Michael Fernie gives his thoughts on this week's Minesweepers game.

Time for a new Shoebox game, and there's one particular game that's been outsmarting me this whole time.

I enjoyed my day off, yesterday. Got a few none-gamedev things worked out, and even started playing with paper again.
Wondering whether to bring back my old Paper Arcade crafts, expand the DVD Case images to fit properly and include a back, and maybe even some oldskool cardboard boxes and cassette inlays.
.. Yep, even when not coding, my mind is fizzling away, trying to keep itself busy and not worry about all the doom and gloom outside.

Fan of Bugs (Bugspin!) seems to have gone down nicely, getting a few decent comments for what is essentially a really basic game.
This week, I think I should probably try to make use of that "Two-Joycon" support that I added a while back.
But what kind of game could I do with that?
I'm terrible at coming up with multiplayer games.

OK, time to think of something for Petit Switch.
Get my head out of the horror-show that's currently clinging to everyone's minds, and try to focus on some gamey stuff.
But what game to do?
