Shoebox - Pig
Blog
21st September 2019
A simple dice rolling challenge.
Roll the dice, and then decide if you want to roll again, totting up the scores into the Kitty as you go.
If at any moment you wish to "Bank" what you've earned, play will move to the next player
If you roll a One, you lose everything in the kitty.
It's a simple risk/reward game, but I really enjoyed the game, especially in Party Mode against 3 AL players.
You can Play Pig in the Shoebox under the Group games.

This week, a redux of the game I made for Petit Switch, last week.
Blast all of the "Stars" away, with your trusty tins of exploding paint!
You have 3 explosions, so use them wisely.
(You earn 1 extra explosion every time you eradicate all 10 stars)
You can Play Stars That Burst here, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Jefferson asks..
Hey there! Could I have the source code for this?
The name of this site should give you some idea as to how difficult Centipong is to create from scratch.
But just in case, allow me to plot you some points to help guide you along the way.

Email : "Hey, I have an idea for a card game."
Me : "OK, What is it?"
Email : "Could you add a donate button, as I'm strapped for cash."
No.
Simple as.
If you want million of dollars from a card game, go and ask someone who makes millions of dollars from card games.
Don't come to someone who makes nothing but freeware, and suddenly expect them to write an entire game for you, then magically send you the proceeds.
If you want the proceeds, I'll happily send you the bill for my se...

The two tanks fall into line, and a battle commences.
Tilt your gun, line up your shot, and destroy the enemy tank.
Rather than being a simple "Destroy = 1 point" game, I've opted to add Arcade-style scores to this.
Earn points for closer hits to your opponent's tank. Your score is also increased by how much health your own tank has remaining.

Today I did something that might very well break the Shoebox.
I've changed from having individual .js files for each game, to having a combined comb.js file that holds all of the games.
Hopefully, if your game breaks, a simple refresh of the page should reload the cache, and bump everything back to the way that it should be.
If it gets completely stuck, let me know, as well as what device/browser you're using, and I'll do my best to fix it.

A quick and simple trip up the tower. What could possibly go wrong!?
Avoid the spikes, and get as far as you can up the tower, without falling.

A QWERTY layout option for the letters might make it a bit smoother. Hard to say without trying it, I guess.
Yup, sure would!

OK, started a quick emergency browsercade game for this week, and it should be ready later today or.. more likely, in the morning.
I already have this week's Foldapuz game finished, though, so I think I'll play switcheroo.. I'm sure you guys won't mind, as long as you get a game, right!?!
.. Maybe!
So, I'll go and get that done, uploaded, screenshotted, logotised, etc, and then I'll post it up here in about an hour or so, before heading back to doing the simple and quick Sp...

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...

Feel free to skip by this post, it's all about my crappy health issues, and since nothing's changed, you probably know it all anyway!

One of the hardest things, moving ahead, is going to be coming up with all the ideas for all the different sets of games that I'm making.
Currently the Petit Switch and Browsercade games are simple rewrites of older games, but at some point I'm definitely going to have to make a few new ones.

The original Blockman is recreated in glorious Javascript!
Run around the platform-maze, gather up all the blocklets, and take them all home.
The more you can manage in one go, the higher your combo score.

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..

Tweaks To Do

23rd July 2019
1. People seem utterly baffled by the start-screen of Browsercade.
I put that there, because a lot of browsers need a single click before they initiate any audio, but seemingly people are instead "waiting" for it, and think the thing's broken.
D'oh!!

Testing Touching
Blog
21st July 2019
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.

Yesterday I was playing with Alien sprites.
Today, I've been playing with Balls!
First off, don't get too excited!
This is currently only a simple physics test, and is in no way representative of the end result!
I'm actually aiming for a completely different game, first, but figured I might as well test the physics whilst I'm here.
So far, so good, although the physics are occasionally a little bit glitchy.
But..
.. Yeah, works fine!!

I'm fairly content with how the touch controls seem to be working, now, and they're apparently functional on both iPad Wide and iPhone Tall displays.
The DPad can be a teensy bit large on iPad Tall, though, so I might yet still make an optional thumbstick mode instead.
Simple testing has been done on the menus, but "real world" testing won't be happening until there's a "real world" game to test it with.
..
I'd better get onto that, huh?

A simple maths game, this week.
The solutions are already there, but what equations make up the solutions?
The nine boxes should be filled with the numbers 1 through 9, such that the results are accurate.
You can Play Cross Sums here, or wait for it to show up in the daily Foldapuz sheets.

It's the little things..
Like how the game isn't saving highscores, and the onscreen scores aren't quite readable enough, and the music doesn't end during the game-over screen, and ..
The little things..
Still haven't actually coded the game, yet, either! This is all Framework stuff.
Of course.. There's still one big issue to tackle..
