Let's go back over Alan's requests from this morning, shall we? You can play the recent upgrades in the Shoebox, v0.956. If it doesn't auto-refresh, hit the new [Cache] button on the top right of the main menu!

1. Place letters by click-to-pick-up-click-to-drop. I haven't got around to this bit, just yet. I need a rethink of how the mouse-tapping works.. It "should" be do-able, but it might be a little over sensitive.. (see #3)

When I was playing Golf Solitaire in my android chrome browser found an odd issue where the drag and drop card gets placed in the top left of the screen as seen in the attached screenshot.

Alan asks.. Did you ever read up on Nandeck? even if you don't use it, it might inspire you on your own ideas as far as bulk generating cards and such. This would be for generating things like "Monopoly Knock-off" Property cards, "Top Trumps Knock-off" score based cards, "HeroQuest Knock-off" Inventory cards, and things like that. Don't worry.. No inspiration is necessary.

Much like I did to Shoebox, last night, I've spent a couple of hours trekking through the various blog posts here, and automated them to create a single History page for Foldapuz. Foldapuz Highlights. For those interested in the inner workings, all posts have a simple [highlight]Highlight Tag[/highlight] at the start of the post, which holds a small snippet that gets transferred to the History page. The history page grabs snippets from any page that includes the word Foldapuz within its tags, and...

First up, I've decided to just let "Trails" be "Trails", and stop worrying about what the actual game might possibly have really been.

Today I need to fight with the 3DS Converter tool and try to make things as smooth as I possibly can.

Last night I rejigged my IP Banning settings a little, to catch any spambots in their tracks. Between 6:20 and 6:26 this morning, BingBot decided to do it's daily update, and requested over 800 pages of content within that short amount of time. Woah there, BingBot!!!

Although I added a new game to Foldapuz yesterday, the sheer randomness of the randomness has meant that the newest game hasn't actually shown up, today.

For the past couple of weeks, since the most to a Linode server, I've been tweaking tons of little settings in and around the system to keep things running smoothly.

Whilst sitting wondering what other games I could add to Foldapuz, I received an email, from regular emailer Michael, suggesting I should add a few instructions to the site's various games.

Each time I release a game, an huge influx of feedback comes my way from all over the web! Let's see what people thought of JNKPlat 2018! You can Download JNKPlat2018 Beta here.

Played the tutorial levels. Couldn't complete the navigation level 4 (I am not fast enough to get down and get up on the bar) and dangerous creatures level 2 (always got killed by the flying creature).

Today I did quite a bit for the Tutorial side of JNKPlat. I've added subtle little hints around the first few levels, to help guide the player on their quest.

I'd planned to spend this weekend finishing off a demo/trial/whatever of JNKPlat 2018. Instead, I'm having to spend the time setting up a whole new bloomin' server.

The best way to learn about the odd world of AGameAWeek is to try a few of the games out. Luckily, I've bundled together a set of 11 games into a neat package for Windows system. You can download the "Gold - 10 Years" bundle here, for Windows

Maybe I'm coding this wrong, but I swear I'm doing everything the way I'm supposed to!!

It seems that if you have a .php file inside a folder, then it gets its own error_log file, meaning all this time I've been having a little error log grow inside an old abandoned folder, because I forgot it had a broken .php file in there! .. Oops!!

Yeah, I really don't have a lot of RAM to play with in the 3DS, do I!?!

Everything seems nice and stable with the Win/Linux/Mac framework, but it's a shame that Android and iOS aren't currently part of the journey. What better time then, to choose to take a really odd detour, and see if I can squeeze in a little extra.

Today during testing, I hit a rather nasty issue with the framework. When coding the Online Scoreboard component, I added a 5 second timeout to the code. Unfortunately, as well as that works "in theory", the timeout is completely ignored during the "connect" part of the script.

\o/yeay\o/ First test print that's at least vaguely decent.

Spent about an hour, last night, trying to figure out how to get the "Home Directory" of an App, from MacOS, using just C++.

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.

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

Yesterday was spent, as expected, doing the Little Lever site.
