Spent some time on a couple of side-projects yesterday, both of which turned out rather nicely.

-=-=-

First off, I tweaked the VidGen.
I've added two keys. F to hide the menu/preview screen, and switch to a fullscreen view. Click somewhere around the bottom right of the canvas to return to the menu.
I hadn't previously done this because screen captures are a pain in the arse. But I figure it probably best to allow for it!
Second to this, since you can no longer see the Play button when the menu's hidden, you can now tap P to start the currently selected musical track.
(Note : As with all Jay Tools, nothing is uploaded to the server, and everything is done in-browser.)

Gud gud!



With that all done, I then set about making the latest generator, which is based on the nice semi-3D effect from Orret Cha.
It works great, except the reflection's ended up a little wonky.
I think I've fermented the solution long enough, though, and should be able to fix that up later today.

You can Play with the latest effect here.

I then headed on over to GotoJSE, where I haven't recently really done anything productive, and decided to make a nice swirly brush effect.
Not sure why.. Go figure!!
The effect generates a few bristle points when you click the mouse down, then smoothly draws with those bristles.
Each put-down is a new set of bristles, and the end results is a nice swirly set of patterns.



Nice!

Meanwhile, Meanwhile..



After that I headed back to JNKPlat on the Switch, and got Bats, Jacks and Walkers all moving around like they oughta.
Alongside those, I added about 3 new levels, I think. That definitely wasn't as productive as I'd've liked, and the month is rapidly drawing to a close!
I definitely need to add a better frontend for the game, and as for tiles, I still have Ice bars, See Saws, Teleporters, Mines, Plunger Mines, and the Darts to add.

OMG, there's loads left to do!!

I posted a little Twitter video of the three enemies on a test level.


Right.. Back to work, Jay!
