I started on a SmileBASIC game, yesterday.

Boy, that's going to be a challenge from here, on.
The Nintendo Switch accepts keyboard input in the style of a Windows keyboard, such that Ctrl+C is copy and Ctrl+V is paste.
On the Mac, the "Command" (Squiggly circles, the button where Alt is) is the main key for doing that. Essentially you're hitting Alt+C and Alt+V all the time.
For most things, that's not "really" an issue, but now I'm going to be jumping between the Mac and "Windows" layout all the time.

Aaagh.
That was one of the reasons that I wanted to "Go Mac 100%", so that I'm not jumping between the two keyboard layouts, and making things awkward for myself.

Not sure on the best way to solve this issue.

.. hmm..

Meanwhile


Anyhoo, I started a basic platform engine. Today I need to develop some kind of level generator.

I'd like to turn this into a puzzle game, but I'm not 100% sure on how well it'll work out, mostly based on the style of the generator.
Guess there's only one way to find out, and that's to make that generator!!
