What a happy title for a card game!! Fairly complex rules ahead, but it's actually really simple once you get the hang of it. Your aim in this game is to remove all "Pay off" cards from your side of the table. (They're the cards on the bottom left) To do so, move cards onto the Center Piles (the three in the middle), starting from Ace and moving up to Queen. These can be of any suit, and if you place a King, it acts as a wildcard, becoming the next number in the sequence. You can move car...

Finishing off Rescue Helicopter for Petit Switch was alarmingly difficult, yesterday.

Find a path from the top to the bottom of the maze, which moves from spot to spot using the order of the symbols shown at the bottom. You can Play Maze Club here, but don't talk about Maze Club.

After tweeting this morning's daily Foldapuz default sheet to Twitter, I lay in bed wondering what Foldapuz game to make, next.. I started to drift off to sleep with the idea of a simple word game. But then .. a Twitter notification.. OK then.. A maze game of sorts... But what sort of sort..? I rolled over, curled up, and drifted gently off to sleep, thinking about mazes..

In order to properly test my onscreen touch controls, I'm going to need some kind of quick playable game, so that's going to be today's task. Something short and simple, but complex enough to really put the controls to the test.

After I release more and more games, player's try desperately to keep up! Let's see what RSKGames thinks of today's Shoebox addition. You can Play Grid of Conquest in the Shoebox, under the Group Games section.

@RSKGames

''Grid of Conquest'' immediately reminded me of ''Might of the Balls'' which was incidentally made almost on a similar date last year ''23rd July, 2018''. Oh yeah! I'd actually forgotten about that game.

Allen writes.. Not sure if you still develop for OUYA but I play all of your games on there and I had a game idea that I wanted to share with you. Oh, how I miss the OUYA.

After a couple of days of back&forth, I've finally decided "meh, whatever!" and opted to go for a Coverflow-RipOff style menu. It actually looks rather nice, and scrolls quite well, except on touchscreens where the thing's a teensy bit dodgy due to co-ordinate issues. But otherwise it works nicely. (Although it isn't "quite" centring properly!) Scroll around, select a game, sorted.. Currently all "games" lead to the exact same test engine, but eventually this will (hopefully!) be a ma...

Starting from Hex-Tile 1, place the numbers in a route from 1 to 24 in order, moving 1 tile along, each time. You can play Play Rikudo here or they'll show up in standard Foldapuz

I spent a good few hours trying to figure out why my MacMini wasn't connecting to the net. I mean, it WAS, but it seemed much slower than usual.

Started a spreadsheet to help keep my new Schedule in order, and decided to try plonking in the games I've made so far this year, so I get a nice little "Games made this year" stat along the side. Things are obviously not assigned to the correct day of the week, but are at least linked to the right week numbers! So far, 36 games in 22 weeks. That'll do!!

So, today I wrote a basic minimal Framework in PetItC4 with simple enough functionality, but hopefully enough to allow for lots of variety in future projects. I've added a basic DrawImg thing, along with my usual set of SetCol, SetAlpha, SetSize and SetRot commands. I've created a sprite loop to draw sprites when required, and blank out any unused sprites at the end of the loop. I DID originally try adding a SPCLR (clear all sprites) at the top of the loop, but that flickered horribly. You'...

Record time for player feedback! Let's have a nosey. You can Play Shuffled Tracks in the Extras section of the Shoebox.

RSKGames

Played ''Shuffled Tracks'' and was quite surprised to find such a polished game done in 2 days. You'd be surprised.. ... The game was almost ready to go, yesterday!! Most of today's coding session was spent fixing up the generator to make the levels more difficult.

Oh dear, this game's hard! You can attempt to play Beleaguered Castle Solitaire in the Shoebox in amongst the card games.

So, the Shoebox now has Level capabilities.. That's nice! I'm tempted to add something like Quadoban, or maybe a Kee-Bo-Ard, but that would definitely be crossing the border between physical and arcade.. I might need to come up with some way to mesh the styles together, somehow, and create a brand new sort of game. Hmm..

I got an email from Amazon, yesterday, telling me that my Labo VR kit was on its way!!

Aaah, that brings back memories. You can find Cardagain in the Shoebox under Misc games.

If you're a frequent reloader of Shoebox of Games, you might've noticed the sounds of the cards being switched out, about half-a-dozen times, over the course of yesterday.

I spent most of last night trying various microphone tweaks in order to get just the right sound.

A few quick tweaks and a change to the "Game Over" parameters, which also required the drawing of a generic trophy icon!! Accordion is now part of the ShoeBox, overwriting what used to be "Trails". The game now brings up a little Trophy on the bottom left, if you've got less than 5 piles remaining (+ whatever's left in the draw deck). The Accordion rules state that any leaps should be "over 2", not "over 1" like I had it with Trails, so in order to make things a little less frustrating, I&#...

Did you notice the change in the Letter Bubbles, yesterday? I bet you didn't!!
