Idigidragon's getting a remake on Switch, this week.

Petit Switch is mostly faultless, but there's one slight quirk that tripped me up, yesterday.
When you save your code, you hit Ctrl+S, then it flashes up "Are you sure you want to save 'Project/main.prg'?" and then you hit OK, and it says "Are you REALLY sure you want to save 'Project/main.prg?'", and then you hit OK and then it saves.

Don't think of this as Pong.
It isn't Pong.
It's NOT Pong!
If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

Little bugs all over, but definitely a productive day.

Right, today I need to figure out how to do the blanks.
I'll probably need to use an extra chunk of array to draw them separate from the rest of the board. Draw plain blanks, then plop letters on top. I might even make them Font-based, rather than Tile-based.

Spent most of today trying to get multitouch pinch-to-zoom and scrolling to work. Bit of a pain in the arse, if I'm honest, although a lot of that is down to me trying to draw a scaled/cropped area of the Foldapuz page in the background.
The doodle itself "seems" to be scaling properly, but the background keeps squishing and glitching, and ...
RAWR!!

Last night I rejigged my IP Banning settings a little, to catch any spambots in their tracks.
Between 6:20 and 6:26 this morning, BingBot decided to do it's daily update, and requested over 800 pages of content within that short amount of time.
Woah there, BingBot!!!

#571 isn't coming together, AT ALL..
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to work out.
Either it's too easy, and your bullets are too powerful, and the baddies can't reach you...
.. or it's WAY too difficult, and the sheer insane bombardment of enemies is completely overpowering.

Seriously, though, why is this so bloomin' complicated!?

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

Things I've attempted and failed, today.

Lack of Developments

Seriously, though. How broken could it possibly be!?

It's taken me all bloomin' day to find a way to get Emscripten's "C++'ish" compiler to compile, again.

I give up.
Over the past 30-odd hours, I've tried a boatload of languages, and although all seem capable in their own particular ways, none of them seem to do everything that I need them to do.
I'm still annoyed that GLBasic doesn't do sound-pitching.
Seriously, WTF?!

After attempting to draw a canary, then realising it looked very much like Woodstock (Peanuts/Snoopy's friend) I switched tactics and started drawing a pigeon, instead.

Yesterday was a day full of peeks and pokes.

Since the XP era, I've been using the Microsoft SyncToy tool to do all my backups, and for the most part it's been doing a damn good job of keeping everything duplicated, over the many different harddrives/NAS's that I've gradually destroyed through the years.
A few days ago, however, it started behaving very oddly, and I'm not really sure why.
I have a feeling that it's due to Monkey's use of Build folders, and the fact that each game I've written over the past 3 ye...

Spent yesterday powering through a quick monster-maze game.
Managed to build a basic dungeon layout builder, got monsters wandering around, and generally made a nice playable little game.
