I'm now finding myself wondering how do-able RetroRaider would be on the Amiga.

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. Views 975, Upvotes 7

Hmm.. First up came the issue with the Level Generator. Things seemed to break fairly late in the project, meaning that different systems were generating different sets of levels. Views 201, Upvotes 34

Retro Broke!

19th June 2017
If you've downloaded RetroRaider-3 at any point today, you might want to re-download the game.
Whilst stress testing my level generator, I accidentally left a few "quirks" in there, including a cheat mode, and a "feature" that locks the game up and doesn't let you play. Ooops.. A fix has been uploaded, so if you're stuck with the broken version, you should go and grab the new one. The broken version sees the current level end if you hit the V key, and the whole game lock up if you tr... Views 14, Upvotes 1

I've decided that AL's next Bum should be a Pulpish one. "Something Borrowed.. Something New.." Track one is above, and is merely a test. I've still got a few more of SonicALly to finish off before I can officially move on to the next one! Views 58, Upvotes 1

I figured I should give a brief explanation as to how I'm generating the levels in RetroRaider.
This might become a regular series, so if you find this stuff interesting, be sure to let me know in the comments or email or twitter or whatever.. For RetroRaider, the map is split into an 8x8 grid, and each of those are split into a top and bottom. For the sake of making things easier on myself, I decided to make an 8x16 grid.

DevelopmentsYesterday was spent tweaking a few odds and sods that I never really got around to doing previously. I, of course, added a few extra levels, and I added "OUYA Controller Button Icons" to the main menu, so it's marginally more obvious that you can use the shoulder buttons to open the Options menu and Scoreboard.

Unfortunately, due to the world in which Apple operates, we're going to have to wait just over a week to know for sure, as we wait for it to get through the stringent Apple Review gubbins. No doubt, even if it's as broken as Cardagain is, it'll still get through, so I'll be counting on the masses of Twitter-folk to let me know if it works on all the different types of devices that are ou...
