Most of the elements of the previous Sheep Goes Right are now in place in the new version. Today I need to add back in the Spike Cage (That line of spikes that drop down to block your path momentarily) and then that's all the original obstacles back into place.

I need to remember that the new blog uses BBCode, not html like WordPress used to use! About ten times, whilst posting yesterday's game, I accidentally stuffed things into html elements, and the server had a whinge at me. D'oh!

Although I've had it on my iPhone for a few months, I hadn't yet seen what it does to iPad.

Thwackity Puttz is uploaded to Apple, and is now "Waiting for Review"

Over the past 3 or 4 weeks, I've been slowly getting back into the swing of doing iOS games. Two releases so far, (Quadoban and Letter Lattice) and today's AGameAWeek (Bugsplodings) has just, within the past hour or so, been uploaded for Apple Review. I thought I should write a blog about why these three have been created, and also explain why I've not yet gone "FULL PROMO!!!" about the games. (Warning : Long waffling post!)

Last month's GamerBlock finally showed up yesterday, and.. It was a bit rubbish! My thoughts (URL "https://socoder.net/?GotoPost=60916">are here).

I'm going to have to double check with my old Framework to ensure I've done this all the right way.

I know I did SOMETHING yesterday morning...?!

Yesterday, I got the level generator mostly working for this week's game.

As each game is released, and player comments are posted, I'll try my best to make these posts as complete as I can. Feel free to leave your own comments, and I'll add them to the pile. This week, player's thoughts on (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/0407">Thwackity Puttz)

The golf game is turning out fairly well, and is *almost* release-ready.

Oh dear, that hasn't gone down very well, has it?! Hmm.. First up came the issue with the Level Generator. Things seemed to break fairly late in the project, meaning that different systems were generating different sets of levels. For this reason, the online scoreboards were removed, as they'd be impossible to properly compare between all the different level sets. Doing test after test after test, right up until the last minute, led me to accidentally upload a broken version of the game. .. And no...

Hours! Literally hours I spent yesterday, sifting through the level generator code.

It's barely 80%.. Heck, the bullets don't even collide with the enemies! I still have to create music for it. I also need to construct so...

Yesterday was such a long, tedious day of database/site coding.
