Boy, this week's Browsercade game sure does feel awfully familiar..

Most of yesterday was spent writing this year's SoCoder Xmas Newsletter.

Further tweaks to the Pixelart Painter.

It's already the seventh of December!? Yikes!!

I HAD originally decided to take the month off from doing SmileBASIC games.

I don't think I want to do card-game after card-game on Switch, so next week's game will have to be something different. But what!?!

Grab a knife, and stab that Pumpkin's face...

Spent hours, yesterday, trying to squeeze every little bit out of the engine that I could.

I'm still trying to get that JSE speed score down a bit more.

Oooh, a stress test!

Started something Tetris'y, last night.

My first couple of test runs with WASM showed that, in general, it actually slows things down.

I added the ability for Text-To-Speech into the JSE engine yesterday.

The bugs have infiltrated the transporter system! Blast them away!! If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

Help Platdude score the biggest run that he can. Collect Stars for an epic boost! If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

Spent far too much time faffing about with JSE, yesterday, that I completely forgot I have a SmileBASIC game to finish off! Ooops!

I think this is as streamlined as I'm going to get it!

NES, SMS and Atari have been added to JSE's list of available "UsePalette" colour palettes.

Made a fun little engine, yesterday, in SmileBASIC.

A couple of basic shapes have been added to the engine.

I tried adding a bunch of effects into the engine, yesterday, but.. Yikes!!

This week's game has barely any difficulty to it.

OK, Newsletter's ready to go. ALChoon was done last night.

1am After an hour or so asleep, my head went "Hey, I wonder if changing x-line a bit would help speed the engine up at all?"

More subtle optimising again, yesterday.

As I look at the ToDo list, I realise something.. .. I've not tackled any of these for a good while..
