A simple crossword clone, with a slightly different scoring mechanism. You can Play Crossword Golf in the Shoebox, next to the standard Crosswords game, in the Word games!

A simple enough little sliding-block puzzle game, with a train! You can Play Shuffled Tracks in the Extras Section of the Shoebox.

I'm down to the last few items on the todo-list. .. .. Wasn't I down to the last few items on the todo-list, a few days ago!? Hmm..

Alan continues..

You probably have read up on these things already, but just in case you weren't sure, a ''trie'' is not a ''tree'', it's its own thing

Alan asks..

What's the general outline of your current approach? The general method is as such. 1. The AI randomly picks a spot on the board, and scans to check that a word will fit in the space provided. It looks for a space that will fit about 3 or 4 letters and will connect to at least one other tile on the board.

Golf Solitaire isn't nearly as bad as Beleaguered Castle Solitaire! You can Play Golf Solitaire here in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

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

As the Shoebox continues to build, more and more and more comments are incoming! I've literally had more comments to the blog in the past couple of months than I have in the past decade!!

Olympic sprinters don't need to break the tape by exact footstep *imagines 100 Marathon sprinters stopped right at the end of a race, all trying to roll a 6 to win*

New game added to the Shoebox! You can find Flipped Puzzle in the Extras section.

All previous links will still work, and nothing should be broken by the HUGE change in Shoebox, since the new domain simply links to the same files in the same folder, and all the file access is relative. ShoeboxOfGames.com now exists! I bought the domain a couple of days ago, but only got around to setting it up properly, late last night. A more or less simple addition to the overall chaos of AGameAWeek.

A simple Snakes'n'Ladders style game, using cards. Use one of the cards from your hand to select how many spaces you'll move. If you land on a Spike, turn it over to see what will happen. You'll either end up moving forwards or backwards, so lets hope that luck is on your side. You can Find 'Board of Snakes' in the Board Games of the Shoebox.

As much as I've been struggling on with a flu, for the past few days, yesterday completely floored me.

I'll probably be spending most of today working on the actual gameplay of Ludo.

Lots of comments, lately, as the Shoebox has essentially thrown any kind of regular AGameAWeek schedule well out of the window. I should probably look into fixing that, and getting back to a more regular schedule. Hmm.. Anyway.. RSKGames has submitted a few thoughts on Cardagain, so let's have a post about that! You can find Cardagain in the Shoebox, under the Misc section.

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

OK, I'll worry about Jack Change It another day.

To take my mind off the horrors of "Jack Change It", I've instead decided to test another compiled edition of the game.

If player plays an 8, the next player has to miss their turn.. Unless they also have an 8, in which case they can play that, then the next player has to miss their turn. ... Currently trying to code that, and it is NOT easy!!

Our Four Competitors.. 1. An Acer something-or-other, cheaptastic, slow and horrible little thing. 2. Archos Gamepad 2 3. GPDxd 4. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 A - 2018 model

Tried for the past few hours to see if I can get any vague "screen size" stuff to work.

Today I need to get a new scoreboard working in the Shoebox.

Alan continues... Have you tried Inkscape? Nope!

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...

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.

The gfx in the credits screen has a very good looking swirling ghost effect. And what a lovely effect it is!

So, I started work on this game..

I've never had to wear a wrist strap, before, but the sheer agony in my wrist, yesterday, was on a whole other level.
