This project was titled "Power Source" when I started it, but the name doesn't fit the end result, so I'm going to have to change it.

I don't think I'll be getting "Game with balls" up and running within the next day-and-a-half or so, so instead, I'll make something completely different!!
But what game to make?

Yesterday I was playing with Alien sprites.
Today, I've been playing with Balls!
First off, don't get too excited!
This is currently only a simple physics test, and is in no way representative of the end result!

Blackjack, Pontoon, 21. Call it what you will.
The aim is to reach as close as you can to 21, without going over.
Once you're done, AL will have a try, and whoever gets closest is the winner.
The first to reach three wins is declared the overall winner of the game.

I honestly can't fathom why Firefox's cache isn't doing what it's supposed to.

It's the little things..
Like how the game isn't saving highscores, and the onscreen scores aren't quite readable enough, and the music doesn't end during the game-over screen, and ..
The little things..
Still haven't actually coded the game, yet, either! This is all Framework stuff.

As each game is released, players like RSKGames and <insert name here> send oodles of feedback for about the game.
Let's see how they all thought about Dots and Squares!
You can Play Dots and Squares in the Shoebox in the One on One section.

@RSKGames

The good old game that you used to secretly play at the back of the classroom!
You can Play Dots and Squares in the Shoebox, in the One On One area.

After each week's release, players submit their thoughts on the games.
Let's have a look and see what @RSKGames thought of Space Battle!
You can Play Space Battle in the One-On-One section of the Shoebox.

@RSKGames

An epic battle begins. Blast away your opponent's spaceships, before they do, yours!
Place your ships in the grid, then try to guess where your opponent's ships are placed.
You can Play Space Battle in the One-On-One section of the Shoebox.

There's rain outside. \o/yeay\o/
That means I should be able to code, today!!

It's gotten a teensy bit cooler, tonight, and I've been able to get some coding done!
The "ingame GUI" for Space Battle isn't looking awful... And that's as good as you're going to get
I might fix up that explosion graphic to make it a bit more "Stand out'y", but otherwise things are definitely a bit more playable.
I've added "double tap" to the controls, like with Atoms. I think that's probably the best bet when d...

I've done an alarming amount of work on this GUI today, and ..
*shrugs*
Doesn't look any bloomin' different to how it did, this morning!!

As per @RSKGames' suggestion, I've added a couple of Swap mechanics to Tower solitaire.
You can swap any free cards in the tower, but only when they're on the same row.
You can also swap the topmost card amongst the dealt piles, too.
There's not a LOT of things you can swap, but hopefully it should be enough to make things a little bit easier in the 5 and 6 tower modes.
You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

As the collection grows ever onwards, people send feedback for the various oddities that I create.
You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Shoebox, under the Card Games.

@RSKGames says..

For regular Solitaire players this version might need some time to get used to as the card that is required to build the tower is not one less or one more of the cards in stack but follows a simple rule.
Yeah, it's a slightly different strategy, but it makes things a lot tougher when you en...

A new Solitaire card game, today. The aim is to try to reach the top of the tower by matching cards.
You can Play Tower Solitaire in the card games of Shoebox.

I woke up with a Solitaire game in my head.. As you do!
Figured I'd code it, and see how it turned out, and .. Yeah, it's quite playable!
Currently near-impossible, but I think having a "Swap Pile" should help that quite a bit.
Basic rules. You can place Same Suit/Value card atop each other in the pyramid. If a card matches the Suit/Value of both of the two adjacent cards, you may place the card in the row above.
(eg, if you have a 2 of hearts in your hand, and the two card...

After each release, or thereabouts because it's getting hard for even me to keep up, we get a little bit of feedback for the games.
If you'd like to join in, you can either use the Comments section, Email me, or send a Tweet.
You can Play Atoms in the ShoeBox. It's in the "Group Games" section.

@RSKGames says..

The classic explosive game of popping atoms is finally in the Shoebox!
You can Find Atoms in the Group Games section.

I was flicking through my Shoebox Todo-List, today, and stumbled upon Atoms.
I haven't attempted Atoms for a while, mostly because it requires me to draw all those Atoms!!

But, today I drew them, and the engine seems fairly capable.

It's nothing too tricky, and you won't struggle to play it.
The simple classic game of Hangman.
Tap the letters, fill in the blanks, and try to guess the words or phrase.
You can Play Hangman in the Shoebox where you'll find it in amongst the Word Games.
