Yesterday I spent a good couple of hours working on a couple more XM Modules for the Browsercade.

JMTrackr is a Music Randomisation engine, which can create an endless variety of music, based upon a set of prewritten melody patterns. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

I've gotten JMTracker up to a semi-working state, but still have to add test settings for things like Tempo and Instrument selection, as well as a proper Load requester. But so far, so good, and it's a vaguely decent output.. I think!! Although only a proper set of melodies and actual ingame usage will tell for sure..

This morning, I posted a picture with Greenie at the side of the Four in-a Row board, and wondered if I should attempt to integrate Greenie into the game, somehow.

I spent about 3 or 4 hours playing around with KORG Gadget, last night, and managed to create another couple of ALChoons for future Friday postage.

Over on SoCoder, Spinal asked all about my old JMTrackr tool/player. This is the second time it's cropped up in the past few days, (It was mentioned on Facebook a day or two ago) and it's got me wondering if I should attempt a new version of it for the C++ Framework... and more importantly, for JNKPlat2018. You can learn more about JMTrackr here.

Well, not "nothing". I did at least do another ALChoon, yesterday.

Things I've attempted and failed, today.

The Pulpish AL Bum is now almost complete. Just one last track to go.

Nothing happened, yesterday.

A brief roundup of the things I've managed to accomplish, during 2017.

1. Online Scoreboards

It's been a long time since I last had online scoreboards in my general AGameAWeek games. iOS's GameCenter made me lazy, and I could never be bothered to implement anything more complicated into my Framework. But this year, I opted to take on the challenge, so right at the start of this year I added an "Enter Your Name" thing into my framework, and tied the scoreboard system to the server....

Also available on SoundCloud or in the Pulp'ish Album. I know it's not Friday!

Also available on SoundCloud or here, in the Music Archive.

Also available on SoundCloud, or the Pulpish AL Bum.

So I guess I need to learn about OpenAL, today...

Unclaimed Marbles

Also available On SoundCloud. I appear to be in a fairly musical mood, this week. Hopefully that continues, and I can get music working in my framework without going slowly crazy!!!

Also available on SoundCloud, or in the Jukebox.

Developments

This week's game is near enough in a playable state.

Also available on SoundCloud.

Also available on SoundCloud or in the Music Archive Pulpish Nautical Tower was suggested by KingRabbitCPH on YouTube a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it important to make the choon. If you've any Pulpish remixes you'd like me to attempt, let me know!!

I was sat for most of yesterday creating additional choons for Sheep Goes Right. 4 new'ish tracks, 3 of which are recreations of the choons from the original.

Also available on SoundCloud

Developments

Quite a large chunk of gamedev done, yesterday, but worryingly nothing much to show for it!
