Bracket Surgery
Blog
8th December 2018
Added Bracket Surgery, whereby you need to add two sets of brackets into the equation so that the result is correct.
This game relies on your understanding of BODMAS, so if you're not "into" your maths, it might not appear that the original equation is incorrect! Rest assured, the maths have been checked, and the equation is wrong. Views 28, Upvotes 10

Try to create links between all the pairs of lettered squares, without crossing onto the squares of any of the other links along the way.

4th December 2018
Added Link Janitor, named after my AGameAWeek game of the same name.
Link up the lettered pairs without crossing paths. I've not accounted for diagonals, so avoid those. They might be do-able with diagonals, and may be easier or harder, but they're not part of the puzzle, so.. Avoid!! The previous week's cleaning up of the structure meant that everything was a little easier to work with, today, although I did forget how to use some of my own functions. Previously, I could quickly... Views 33, Upvotes 10

Drawing Icons

28th November 2018
A fair amount of icon drawing, today, as I tried my best to come up with some kind of over-arching style for the many different game icons.
I'm not sure it's been that much of a success, if I'm honest, but at least I tried. Views 20, Upvotes 5

Script Slicing
Blog
27th November 2018
I've spent a good couple of hours shuffling the script around a bit.
Probably should've used includes from the start of this project, but.. Too lazy to do that kinda thing! The whole site is now split up into individual game scripts, so that the main script is a little more manageable in future. I've also neatened up the style of the Cross Target game using a bit of grey, as well as taking the time to rewrite a lot of the site's Text functions to allow for more colour and ...

Cross Target

Added Cross Target
Spent ages trying to find the best way to represent a Scrabble-Style board using only black ink! I should probably redo bits of it with grey, I think.. Hmm.. Anyway, it's a simple enough concept. You have a rack of tiles, and a specific target to hit. Try to score exactly that many points. Views 29, Upvotes 8

A whole lot of tweaks to Unfolded, to make it all a little more stable. Just minor background things, nothing too notable, but enough to keep things working!!
I've also rewritten the way the Alternating Maze is generated, and it now ends up taking about s full second to generate each puzzle. Eeek! Still, with the recent puzzle-cache functionality, that should be a little bit easier on the server. The Alternating Maze mazes should now be a little more difficult to solve, with the paths hop...

Unfolded Tweaks
Blog
22nd November 2018
Further tweaks to the Unfolded part of the site.
Things seem to be fairly functional now, and I took the time to jiggle the menu about a bit to make it more like the main page's layout. I'll have to remember to keep both list of games the same, in the future, though, and will also need to keep the little icons updated, too. *sigh* So much to keep track of. This whole thing's started to get a little large! Views 29, Upvotes 8

Foldapuz - Unfolded
Blog
21st November 2018
For the past week or so, I've been gradually putting together a "On your mobile's browser" edition of Foldapuz.
Although there are still a few tweaks to be made to get things "just right", the site now appears to be functional enough to be tested. If you'd like to test it, head to Unfolded, where you can hopefully figure most things out. (Assuming it works, in the first place!) On the top right are page selection, alongside a puzzle selection. The rest of the tools shoul... Views 111, Upvotes 6

Since the web-app has its own GUI along the top of the screen, I can't rely on the OS's pinch-to-zoom like I was hoping to.

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!! Views 60, Upvotes 6

As I reached game #18 on Foldapuz, I realised that there's a very distinct possibility that I might yet manage to hit the current 62-game limit.

13th November 2018
I did a major rewrite of the layout code, today, and it broke EVERYTHING!!! All "Yesterday's Solutions" are no longer valid for today, and all puzzles have been re-generated.
The reason is so that the layouts can be expanded to MANY more puzzle types. Previously the Layout format was 8-characters, meaning you have up to 62 different puzzle types (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) Although I'm not 100% sure I'll ever reach that limit, I figured it was probably a good idea to bump that number a li...

Added Wordoku, which makes use of a pre-generated list of layouts. (From a self coded generator, created using BlitzMax)
2048 layouts are in the file, and on top of that you've got a random selection and then a random selection of missing tiles, so I think (!?) it should be plenty random for days/weeks/months to come. But I'm also starting to get a little worried about whether the random number generator is doing a good enough job. I might have to peek into that, to be sure, but it... Views 45, Upvotes 9
