This week, a nice and simple recreation of the Amiga classic, Megaball, as made by Ed and Al Mackey.
You can Play Futriball on itch.io or over at GotoJSE.

Oh dear, I'm stuck in a cycle of JSE Optimising again!
Aargh!!

I played around with the entire rendering engine, yesterday, in the hope of speeding things up a little.
.. Didn't really help.
Oh well.. :/

Over the past couple of days I've been adding some image-blur functionality to GotoJSE in the hopes of getting a nice rendition of Centipong up and running in the engine.

Over on the Centipong DS post, Jefferson just popped on over (4 years after his last comment) and asked about the music.

Latest Game : 31st October 2022 : Bubble Munky
This is a complete list of my games and tools created for SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch.

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

800!?
That's a lot of games!

Spent a while thinking ahead for future Amiga games.

Yesterday I found a nice and quick way to upgrade my older SmileBASIC games to the newer framework.

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.

Jefferson asks..
Hey there! Could I have the source code for this?
The name of this site should give you some idea as to how difficult Centipong is to create from scratch.
But just in case, allow me to plot you some points to help guide you along the way.

Centipong comes to Switch, with the help of Petit Switch.
If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

.. Have I said how much I hate doing menus?!

Over on Socoder, RSKGames posted a lovely "Top 10 AGameAWeek Games of 2018", so here it is lovingly reproduced with links and pics! (And with extreme apologies that it's taken me a week to get around to doing this!!)

10. Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit

First puzzle game of 2018. If it was not so insanely difficult it will be higher up in the list.

After each game's release I receive an influx of feedback from all of the one person who played it.
Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of the bouncy pods!

Overview: I have not played any of the previous versions of the AGAW Centipong games but playing last years ''Rainbows Shooting from my Balls'' game I had an idea that it might be a very high paced experience. This Centipong game is a very intense fas...

The centipedes have returned. Bring out your balls.

The New Unnamed Centipong game is feeling much better, now, with the addition of all the important audio as well as properly functioning levels.

Minor tweaks to the still untitled New Centipong, but nothing too interesting to bother to mention.
Mostly yesterday was a sidetracked day..

Yesterday, New Unnamed Centipong started to fall into place.
I'm not sure exactly what it was that did it. Maybe the addition of levels, or properly formulating the life system, but something suddenly clicked and things started to feel a lot more gamey.

Centipong isn't coming together very well.

Saturday came and went, and I was supposed to spend Sunday getting back to coding Centipong again, but that didn't happen.
Instead, I spent some more time looking into the possibility of bundling Future AGameAWeek games together into a single .exe

I took the day off from coding, yesterday. Ten years is more than enough.
I opted instead to just sit around and watch as Twitter went crazy with "AGameAWeek 10" Tweets.
