Plenty going on, right now. Can I keep it all up in the air!?

On 3ds, make the teleporters in JNKPlat be able to go in custom orders.

Use the five provided poke-types, and poke at five of the tiles, in order to match the given target grid. Easy mode is more of a tutorial, Normal mixes things up, and then Hard really ramps things up. You can Play Poke 5,n in the Shoebox, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

*shrugs* Gotta make a start on a Foldapuz game, today, but I'm at a loss as to what that might be. Currently thinking a cluster sort of thing, filling in the grid with letters to make groups of maybe 4 or 5 tile chunks. I think that'd word, but it feels like it might end up being too much like Rebordered. Not sure. Today's Plan. 1. Post Space Popcorn 2. Wake up my brain and figure out a puzzle!

I've been asked how I achieve my scrolling backgrounds, especially since (as you can probably tell from my games) I'm not using "normal" techniques. So, let's code a quick example, and you can hopefully follow along. WARNING : This is far from being the ideal, or even the "normal" way of drawing backdrops. I am NOT the best tutor for programming. I've been coding far too long without getting rid of my bad bad habits, and have been working towards "many games, quickly" techniques, rat...

Little progress on the site retheming. I'm not only trying to come up with a better layout for the main page, but also wondering about the Jukebox page, too, and ways I can make that flow a little better. In either case, I didn't get very far at all.. A bad day's coding!

A recent discussion in an email thread brought up the fact that I used to (back in the days of evil, evil, evil Napster) make weekly/daily suggestions for music I'd found. Lately, I've been bulking up my JPop collection thanks to the wonders of Apple Music, and the idea of bringing back a semi-regular JPicks feature seemed to be a ... decent idea? Maybe..! Apple Music Link If you've got an Apple Music subscription, give that link a whirl, and let me know if it works. The playlis...

A quick "game" tutorial type thing for a silly little game, created using PetitCom/SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch. If you've grabbed a copy from the Japanese eShop, you should be able to follow along, since the program itself now includes a complete English translation. I'll assume you're using the program with a USB Keyboard attached, but if not, most of the keyboard functionality can be accessed by hitting the [-] button on your controller. From the main menu, hit the Make a Prog...

Seems like the crazy shopping sprees are starting to die off a bit, and the online services are starting to cope a little better.

Yesterday was a day of nothingness.

The little bike engine on Petit Switch is kinda turning into a game, I think..? The bike's moving nicely, you can bump into the houses, and there's a pizza place. (Sorry for nasty quality.. That's what you get when you post a Switch Screenshot directly to Twitter.. Eeeeeeuuuw!!) Today I need to get gameplay working. Probably just something like "How many orders can you fulfil within a 5 minute period" or that kind of thing. Not really sure if I'm honest! I should probably al...

A fancy graphical doohickey turned into an action game! Hop over all of the blue Zyndotz in order to clear the level. Beware the Spikes, and watch out for that odd creature that shows up. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

All of the letters in a single column can be changed to the same letter in order to create a different set of words. Can you decide which column, and what letter should be used? You can Print out a sheet, here or alternatively Play it in your Browser.

Every week or so, I think about SpikeDislike. How big it once was, and how abandoned it now is. Going from it's hefty days back in 2011, when it actually SOLD a decent amount on iOS, to the current day where it's all been removed from the AppStore because I haven't updated it in years. And yet, it's something I keep coming back to, and it has pretty much defined the sort of things that I've been doing for the past decade. Spike has whittled his way into becoming an alarmingly com...

Yesterday's PetitSwitch session went rather well, but once I got the basic mechanics working, I was at a loss as to where to go next.

A decade is over, and what have I done? 373 games, created a new blogging script for here, rewritten the Socoder forum, started a few new sites and more! Oh, and a brain tumour! It's been a wild and crazy decade, and over the next few days I'll be looking back at the best (and worst) games from the decade. 2010 - BlitzMax 2011 - Touch Control 2012 - The Bad Year 2013 - Monkey-X 2014 - OUYA!! 2015 - The Gap Year 2016 - Forget-V 2017 - Cuddle Me 2018 - Ringing the Changes 2019 - Overl...
