Don't think of this as Pong. It isn't Pong. It's NOT Pong! If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

After each week's release, players submit their thoughts on the games. Let's have a look and see what @RSKGames thought of Space Battle! You can Play Space Battle in the One-On-One section of the Shoebox.

@RSKGames

Played Space battles for some time and thanks to a lenient AI I was able to win most of the times.

There's rain outside. \o/yeay\o/ That means I should be able to code, today!!

I needed some quick and simple spaceships, so decided to try making them with that old JNK Sprite Generator that I appear to have neglected for a number of months! They might not look very good, but scaled just right, and on the right sort of background, they're passable! .. A bit.. You can generate your own squiggles here.

A simple little word puzzle, today. Add letters from the top to bottom, or remove letters from the bottom to top, to make words which fill up the pyramid. You can either choose to jumble the letters in each word or not, but the original solution is designed without any jumbles. You can Play Word Pyramid here as part of the daily Foldapuz printable puzzle sheet.

Really couldn't get into the whole "Redefineable Controls" stuff, yesterday. Instead, I messed about with Tower Solitaire's rules a little, and also played around with a few other bits and pieces.

As the collection grows ever onwards, people send feedback for the various oddities that I create. You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Shoebox, under the Card Games.

@RSKGames says..

For regular Solitaire players this version might need some time to get used to as the card that is required to build the tower is not one less or one more of the cards in stack but follows a simple rule. Yeah, it's a slightly different strategy, but it makes things a lot tougher when you end up with a v...

I finished off this week's Petit Switch game, last night, but won't be posting it until around midnight tonight. Schedules, and all that!

A simple, (but somewhat eye-popping) logic puzzle, this week. A few of the dominos haven't been filled in! Using the combination of the row/column totals (at the end of each row) along with the fact that you shouldn't be duplicating any dominos, try to fill in the missing blanks. But.. Beware.. You should also try not to fill in any of the blanks that actually should be blank! You can Play Domino Grid here, or wait for it to show up in your regularly scheduled Foldapuz pages.

Shoebox doesn't scale in a normal way.

The classic explosive game of popping atoms is finally in the Shoebox! You can Find Atoms in the Group Games section.

Oh boy, was yesterday complicated!!

It's nothing too tricky, and you won't struggle to play it. The simple classic game of Hangman. Tap the letters, fill in the blanks, and try to guess the words or phrase. You can Play Hangman in the Shoebox where you'll find it in amongst the Word Games.

Brum Brum?

A simple, but effective little Anagram game. Four 7 letter words are laid out, along with 4 extra tiles at the bottom. Add one letter to each of the "racks", shuffle the letters, and try to make four 8 letter words. SPOILER (PROLINES) You can Play Extra Tiles here, or watch out for it showing up in regular Foldapuz circulation, as of tomorrow. -=-=- In addition, I've finally got around to fixing (I think!) Kakuro, which was previously oddly broken, so that puzzle is now back in the selecti...

I didn't get much done, yesterday, beyond the finishing up of the week's ALChoon.

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..

Tonight I attempted to get a JMTrackr style music engine to work in Petit-switch.

The "Text Layer" seems to be rather limited. I can print at any position, I can change the colour, I can change the font size.. .. But any changes made will affect the entire screen's worth of text.

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'...

Today marks the initial Japanese release of Petit Computer for Switch (PetC4) and .. well, I'm a coding addict, so you know I HAVE to at least get SpikeDislike up and running. There's a few stumbling blocks.. well, one, really, and that is that I don't know any Japanese whatsoever. If you'd like to download my various PetitSwitch games, head to this page for the codes

The seeds (gems in this case) of Mancala are now managing to complete a full circle!

I asked @CraigGrannell last night if the "swoopy" menus were a bit too much for his motion sickness issues, and he replied that it was.. For me, a bit, yeah. I thought as much when I added those Tap Swoopy things, but it's good to get a little confirmation.
