Last night, I spent an alarming amount of time thinking about Particles.

Shoebox has been limited to a 30fps mode, simply because initial tests showed my crappy laptop to suck at trying to run it at 60fps, and the fan kicks into gear!

I've spent the past hour or so tweaking the "failed to load" functionality of the ShoeBox, and I *think* I've managed to get it to fail well, although.. Honestly, I won't know for sure until something does in fact break, and unlike most scenarios, I can't think of a quick and easy way to test this one! If you see a dead shoebox, be sure to let me know! Rest assured, however, that when it does now happen, a reset should no longer erase all of your Win/Play scores, just your current gam...

I've added semi-persistent score handling to the Shoebox Framework, along with plenty of space to add a decent selection of scores and things into the mix. You can Test the Shoebox here!

As far as I've been able to stress-test, the save/load functionality of the new Shoebox framework should now function correctly!

I think that, for the most part, the Spider Solitaire is now roughly ready to go, but the Framework is barely finished at all! You can test Shoebox here. Spider Solitaire oughta be good to go.

Right, I'm probably going to ignore the audio issue, and plough ahead regardless. The audio tweaks can be made in the future. After all, this engine is 100% javascript, so everything is really easy to tweak afterwards, unlike most of my normal games that require recompiling and reuploading and then the player to realise there's an update, and redownload it.

The "Grab card from pile" and "Add card to pile" functionality now appears to be mostly functional. You can Test Shoebox Here.

With any luck, you should now be able to drag the cards around between columns, but with a few issues.. Shoebox Test

Just to be extra sure that it'd work in the slightest, I added a quick test loader to Shoebox for the WordList functionality.

I've added JNKsg's Multi-Loader functionality into Shoebox. You can Test it here.*

Over the next few days, I'll be doing various tests and things, as I try to determine the best methodology for the games. First up, Setting a grid size based upon a couple of values.

Scoring is now in, along with the typical swooshy points that flail across the screen.

In order to get SpikeDislike Classic (or is it Classic SpikeDislike?) to work as universally as I can, there's been a lot of Delta Timing tweaks, alongside a bunch of 3DS Scaling-Issue related stuff that had to be done.

Yesterday didn't all go as planned!!

This is a test. I'm not sure how compatible the new RSS feed is going to be, but if you'd like to try it out in your RSS Reader of Choice, then the url is rss.xml, which is a fairly obvious choice for rss feed urls, I think. The link has been added down at the very bottom right of the site, and is also tagged in the header, near all those bloomin' icons! Let me know how it goes.

InoReader seems the nicest of the webbased readers that I've found in my trave...

Added a new game, Scrambled Grid, to the fold. It's been a good week or so since I last added anything to Foldapuz, so I decided to spend a bit of time with the game, tonight. A few days ago, I found a lovely function in PHP which would allow me to do quick Anagram-Tests, and so I made full use of that, today. A set of 5 words are chosen at random, and shuffled about until an anagram can be found connecting them all together. Your challenge is to unscramble all 5 of the 6 letter words, and place t...

The game's really starting to come together, now.

Weapons are now functioning much better.

Spent yesterday fixing up a few issues with the latest Sprite Generator, before getting it all uploaded to the server.

Hopefully I can get a bit more done, today!

I've still yet to get online scoreboards working, but for the meantime, this is the current version of the Emscripten based framework running Generic Snake Clone. You can Play it in your Browser here! Things should work fine in most browsers, but as with all things, Edge/Internet Explorer is a no-go!! It should also run on iOS/Android, although the game doesn't use any mouse/touch input, so will be completely unplayable. Sorry about that!! Seems I haven't added decent mouse controls to...
