Each month I receive the wonderful Arcade Block from (URL "https://NerdBlock.com">NerdBlock.com) When you initially sign up, you give them a T-Shirt size, and every month you get a lovely Arcade related TShirt, along with a box full of odd pieces of tat. Some of the tat is garbage, some of the tat looks nice on a shelf, and occasionally some of the tat is pure awesomeage!

A return to an old project..

What'll be happening with Beta Collexion? How can I get my games on Steam? And.. Snooker?!

Developments

After another hour or so of tweaking, I finally got Sheep Goes Right uploaded to both OUYA and PlayJam. Hopefully the game passes through without any issues, but I'm slightly worried that there might be memory based complications. When I tested JNKBombers on my Razer Forge, I didn't spot any errors, but upon review, they send me a "Out of Memory" log, which suggested the Forge might not be all it's cracked up to be. I suspect this to be a case of the system multitasking. On OUYA...

Making up for Lazy Sunday, Jay used "PowerCoder" ... It was Super Effective. Two more games have been added to the Advent Calendar, and I even spent some time fiddling with this lovely little game.

Developments

After basically deciding to mostly ignore the Multiplayer Controller code for the time being, I'm jumping back to the Advent Collection and trying my best to code what little I can, in what little time remains. Over the course of yesterday, I managed to get games 4 and 5 up and running, and also made a start on game 6. Progress is good, but is it good enough? Only time will tell.

With mere weeks to go until Dec 1st, I'd better get cracking with that Advent Collection, huh?! So, last night I finished off Game #1, and made a fairly decent start on Game #2. I'll finish that up this morning, and then get to work on a third. I'm currently having a nice burst of imagination, after having not really coding much all year. It also makes a change to be creating something new, instead of fixing up that great big pile of 42 OUYA titles!! I still need to finish of...

Developments

Here's, approximately, the insane list of things that did/didn't happen, yesterday. 1. Compile first of about 40 games for the big OUYA Fixup. Went easy enough, and the new controls seem to work just fine. Woot! 2. Upload to OUYA. Didn't work. The whole Certificate thing stopped me, so instead I asked Team OUYA to DELETE ALL MY GAMES!! This gives me a fresh, clean slate to work with, and should help things run a little bit smoother. 3. Waiting for them to do that.. They...

Super Mario Maker!

After waiting until 3:30 in the afternoon, the game finally showed up. Bah, humbug! If you'd like to play some of my oddities, I am (of course) Jayenkai in the Miiverse doohickey. I *think* it's that easy, anyway. Not sure!

Developments

...Waiting for the game to turn up gave me plenty of time to add a level ending to my levels, which takes the form of a lovely swirly line which teleports you off to the next level. ( width="560" height="315" src="https://www....

( width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z95Cn1S9d78" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>> Yesterday was spent tweaking various difficulty settings. There are 11 (0-10) available difficulties being coded into the level generator, and this video shows what happens at Level 3. Level 0 is easiest, with fewer easier to manage baddies, whilst level 10 is full of spikes and nasty Duck-Turrets. Today I'm going to be tweak...

Developments

Last night, I started watching a series on Vimeo titled (URL "https://vimeo.com/channels/itvintheface">"ITV In the Face".) The show is essentially a look back at all the various UK ITV franchises, along with the history of what happened to all the different companies along the way. Thrilling stuff, I'm sure you'll agree. But it kept me awake until 5am, this morning, and is one of those "Can't stop watching" sort of TV-History documentary things that I have a nasty habit of g...

Developments

Jumped back and forth through a couple of things, yesterday, but mostly spent more time working on the level builder. Things are starting to look a little more varied, and thankfully the addition of vertical scrolling has added a little bit more. I'm currently worried about making sure the levels are completable, as I haven't yet added an AI player run-through of the level, to ensure it's at least playable. I'll have to do that next, I suppose. In the meantime, I've been ensurin...

Nada!

A rest day.. I spent most of yesterday watching YouTube videos and generally lazying about. I watched (URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbt1bz0byUQ">RHLSTP), A couple of (URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ddSq5mQhTw">Music) (URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBtIpN-a5nI">Videos), as well as spending a good half hour watching (URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zinQKOhf4vs">a man walking.)
