Atoms?
Blog
13th June 2019
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. Views 55, Upvotes 8

Atoms
Game
15th June 2019
Try to conquer the entire board with just your own colour, by overflowing and detonating your atoms.
Each square can hold a single atom in the corners, two on the sides, or three in the middle. If a square overfills, it explodes into adjacent squares, filling them with your own colour. Views 93, Upvotes 11

Name That Solitaire
Blog
20th June 2019
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... Views 49, Upvotes 9

Tower Solitaire
Game
21st June 2019
Try to build up the pyramid by placing cards which match both of the cards below, by suit or value.
You can swap free cards on the same level, or replace them entirely with dealt cards of the same suit or value, but only if the card has no card above it. You win if you can reach the very top. Views 97, Upvotes 20

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... Views 58, Upvotes 12

Swapping Allowed
Blog
22nd June 2019
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.

Space Battle
Late Night Coding
Blog
29th June 2019
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... Views 58, Upvotes 12

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. Views 71, Upvotes 17
