Hello. Welcome to a test! You can Download Linux Test 2 here Please note : This isn't a game, it's just a test! This is the current version of the framework, and you'll notice it's not quite at 100%, just yet. I've still oodles of stuff to do.

So, yesterday didn't go as planned.

Planned to do coding, today. And, though I did do some coding, it wasn't anything to do with the Framework!

Got oodles of stuff done, yesterday, although to the player not a bit of it is noticeable!

Lots of background stuff, today.

Seems like I might need to restart the MacOS project files..

More tweaks to the framework, as I attempt to at least get basic compiling to work on iOS!

Starting the iOS thing from scratch, due to my usual case of overcomplicating things!

I *think* I've figured out how to "create" XCode projects programatically.

Today's lesson.. Be sure that the vocals don't clash with themselves, producing oddly mushy misheard lyrics. I might try to fix that, later, but other than that, tonight's ALChoon+ turned out rather well... I think! Analysing Helixes Also on SoundCloud

It began, last night, at about 2am. *pop*

For a long time, I've been "putting up" with a bizarre issue with my laptop's soundcard. No matter the drivers I use, or settings I tweak, the soundcard seems to keep falling asleep. If you try to play a sound (via ANY media program/app/windows dialogue/etc) it'll "reboot" leaving a 1.5 second gap before it starts any audio. Give it a 3 or 4 second delay of no-audio, and the soundcard seems to fall asleep again.

I spent most of last night fiddling around with my new toy, Vocaloid.

The framework's looking quite stable, but there's no guarantees that it is! As such, I'm currently thinking of making February a full month of Flappadiddle 2. Each weekly release will be a slightly more fixed up edition of the game, and hopefully over the course of February, I can build the game up to a decent enough standard, and drag the Framework along with it. So.. That's the plan! February 2018 will be Flappadiddle2 Month!

People might look at the fact that I spent all day, yesterday, working on an "unrelated" Icon Resizer project, but the new framework needed a new version of the tool.

v1.0 of my new version of the Icon Resizer. Completely rewritten over the space of today. You can Download Icon Resizer 2 v1.0 here Icon Resizer 2 takes a selection of icons, at whatever sizes you CAN be bothered to make, and outputs a whole array of (mostly iOS) different sized icons that you can use in your games. With the addition of some Screenshots and your game's logo, the tool will also generate all manner of screenshot sizes, as well as generating a bunch of Banners and Headers and thing...

With my new Data-Start and Data-End elements in place, reading data from the server is infinitely easier.

Since I'm having to deal with html-responses in a raw fashion, I'm seeing a few quirks in the way that the different servers send their replies.

I spent most of the night, switched off from coding, and instead watched a lot of YouTube stuff. Lots of complaining about YouTube's stupid new Ad-Revenue rules, meaning hundreds and thousands of vloggers are being hit hard. In addition, @Geekanoids is having a terrible time after a burst pipe caused oodles of damage to his Studio. In many ways, YouTube isn't the greatness it used to be, but annoyingly they've pretty much destroyed any and all competition, so people are stuck with it. ...

click for uninteresting, bigger, more readable image Aha!

The scoreboard admin page has been "broken" for a long while.

The new server has a great virus-scanning feature, which blocks any downloads should the file contain any kind of possible dodgyness.

You'd be amazed how many errors have cropped up in the AGameAWeek script! The previous server was setup to display major errors onscreen, rather than logging them, but the new server logs EVERYTHING!!!

Our new server overlords have been chosen. AGameAWeek and Socoder now exist on a Kloudhost server.

If you're a frequent visitor, you've probably noticed the occasional MySQL "Too many connections" error cropping up on the site.

I spent most of yesterday, once again, trying to get Android to work.
