Added Maths Maze. A simple roam around a maze, totalling up scores to reach the target. Although these puzzles have multiple solutions, the "proper" method should only require four moves. Aside : It's been a few weeks since a new Puzzle game popped into my head, but lying awake at 3am seems to help!

I ended up putting the three floppy disks back into Futrino, last night. As much as the game has a different sort of "world", the idea of collecting the three disks to complete a level is still simple enough to understand, and provides the difficulty of having to destroy all the barrels in order to find those disks.

With a single "it follows you around" enemy type in place, I spent a good hour or so trying to find the right feel for the game.

Hmm.. Yesterday didn't go very well at all.. The plan was as such. 1. Design Barrel sprite generator. 2. Put barrels into game, with boxes and crates and other such things. 3. Get the game vaguely playable.

The first project for the year will be a new version of Futrino.

Added Geometric Shapes which can be great for simple design additions. With a large variety of options, you should be able to come up with some fairly decent shape options, which can then be used in logos, icons and other such design elements.

I started off the day by removing the single pre-drawn fence on Rebordered. Without the border, the game's now a bit harder. The one little border was making the whole puzzle a lot simpler than it should've been. Next, I added Kakuro. Each of the triangles hold a number, containing the total sum of the next few cells, either to the right or below. Your job is to fill in the digits. I'm not 100% convinced these are solvable, as I've yet to properly tackle one myself, but I'm sure...

Yesterday's new Foldapuz addition went alarmingly smoothly. .. I should've known that wasn't a good sign.

I spent about 80% of yesterday choosing a font!

As I add more and more features to Foldapuz, it becomes more and more apparent that I haven't put a bloomin' link on this site, anywhere!!

A quick batch of JNKPlat levels, today, as I couldn't think of anything else to do for the Advent of Creativity!

Without using the word "Scrabble", how would you describe today's new Foldapuz puzzle?

Added Cross Target Spent ages trying to find the best way to represent a Scrabble-Style board using only black ink! I should probably redo bits of it with grey, I think.. Hmm.. Anyway, it's a simple enough concept. You have a rack of tiles, and a specific target to hit. Try to score exactly that many points.

I've spent most of the past week building up a collection of little bits and pieces.

The majority of the important bits of Foldapuz-Unfolded are now in place, and it's all now nicely playable.

I took some time, last night, to finally have a proper look at making 3DS Themes.

Quite a productive night of Foldapuz tweaking last night.

I've spent the past couple of days trying to get a doodle-box working, which users can then use to scribble over selected Foldapuz puzzles, on their mobile devices.

Made another new Foldapuz game, yesterday.

Added Alternating Maze. Make a path from the marked Start and End points, where each step is on an alternate coloured tile. A nice and simple game that makes secondary use out of the normal Find A Path code, but tweaks it just enough to be different, and quite a bit harder, too.

The online JNKPlat Level site now seems to be function "enough", with the download functions all working properly.

Spent most of today figuring out the best way to organise all my home photos.

Late last night I decided to add a bog-standard Chess puzzle to Foldapuz.

Added Eight Queens to the mix. It's an age old puzzle that's existed in newspapers for as long as I can remember, and was alarmingly simple to add into the mix. I'd like to do another Chess based puzzle, but it's proving a teensy bit more complex to generate, and I honestly don't think it's all that difficult to solve once it has done! A puzzle for another day. The Chess Pieces are drawn using the font "Chess Alpha", which I found on this page.

Today I'm going to get as much JNKPlat work as I can done.
