Over on my site Socoder.net, we have a daily poll, and each day it gives you something to vote on, then the next day you get points based on whether you voted for the winning item on the poll. It's been there for many many years, now, and I'm starting to get a little sick of the sight of the bloomin' thing, but what could I possibly replace it with? The current leading idea is a doodle box, where the players are given a start point and a few colours, and the best art wins. But that then requi...

I think I'm probably over complicating things in my head, but the many different things I need to implement into a simple editor are getting quite silly, now!

Seems like @RSKGames has helped to uncover the reason the leaderboards are so bloomin' empty.

Always evolving, the Framework needs more Scoreboard tweaking. I was hoping to get this done, over the past week, but the Radial Warning complications and lack of gameplay, ended up shifting my focus.

I'm quite happy with how the game's turned out, but.. 1. It's been one heck of a struggle. and 2. It's really quite a hectic game!!

The new laptop was supposed to be arriving today, giving me yesterday to finish off most of the important pieces of this week's game. Instead, the new laptop turned up yesterday, meaning I pretty much wasted the entire day playing Mr Reinstaller.

OK, the game's been "final" compiled and bundles are ready, so today will be all about uploads.

Today is day three of getting the house repointed, and it's really not helping my code-mood in the slightest.

Yesterday, as I watched the empty scoreboards once more, I decided it was probably about time I "switched them on" properly. -=-=- Note : In order to activate online scores on my recent games, hop into the options screen, and Enter Your Name.

I've been focusing on JNKPlat much more than I should've, this week, and neglecting to get the Metal part of the framework up and running. That'll be today's task. Because I REALLY need to do that!

Spent most of today trying to find the right feel for the controls. I'm still not 100% happy with them. Although they feel ok with the tapping of keyboard keys, they feel totally wrong when trying to play with a DPad, which is odd, because I tend to think of those two things as being very much the same thing. Anyhoo, other than that, the game seems to be coming along nicely, although I've yet to add anything new into the mix. I'm currently trying to think of interesting ways to add a bit m...

I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.

Recently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^;

The new choon that appeared last night, Generous Justice, is the music for Franken-Hopper.

I tried to tackle the online-leaderboard component of my 3DS target, yesterday. It didn't go well at all!

I can happily code in all kinds of weather, but when it's sunny, things start to slow down a whole bunch.

With the 3DS onslaught in full swing, and this week's game being delayed, what better time than to stop and pause, and think about the other myriad of things that I'd like to do..?!

After each week's release, I'm literally bombarded by player's thoughts and comments. Let's take a look at what RSKGames thinks of this week's game. You can Download Bungee Stars here.

@RSKGames

Not much was revealed about this week's game "Bungee Stars", so it was a pleasant surprise to play this fun little game.

After each game's release, I get a huge influx of opinions and thoughts from a variety of different people. Let's look at RSKGame's thoughts for this week's game! You can Download Micro Clampett here.

@RSKGames

I remember playing Mini Clampett last year. It is a very addictive game and as it was the first game to get the online scoreboard feature, lot of competition was there to get the highscores. I tried the hard mode today and got nowhere near top 5 highscores, the huge...

It's weird how many people have flooded my Twitter Inbox offering help on how to get various emulators and pirated games to run on my 3DS. I appreciate that most people hack their 3DS for such purposes, but I'm not that guy. I'm LITERALLY only doing this for my own games!

OK, today I need to work out the track generation, as I didn't do a bloomin' thing on the game, yesterday!! Instead, I faffed about with looking into 3DS Homebrew and figuring out things, there.

Quite a busy day, yesterday. Not only did I get the game finished off and posted, I also then tackled a couple of website things that I'd not yet bothered to do.

I've finally found the time to add a "Latest Scores" section to the Scoreboard page. Click the upper-left "Latest Scores" button for an up to the minute list of the most recently posted scores. Simple but effective!

It doesn't help that my keyboard occasionally does double-taps, so about 5 or 6 deleted versions had me typing things like moodel, or cllick.. You can actually see a couple of double spaces in this version, but I figured they're passable! Bah, humbug.

Yeah, the "After eating, go crazy!" stuff isn't working out. The two sections, puzzle vs arcade, are TOO different, and don't really work well together. Having it happen every single level just became repetitive, far too quickly.

Last night I rejigged a lot of the Scrabble Scoreboard, and especially focused on the GUI a little. That Undo button still doesn't quite work, with it being tucked right at the top of the screen, but otherwise the new GUI looks a little more usable.
