A (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/Scoreboards.html">test edition) of my online highscore table viewer thing is now online.

Developments

It's been a long time since I last tackled Online Scoreboards.

The game is as complete as it oughta be, but we're still a couple of days from my regular Monday/Tuesday releases, so we've a couple of days to play "Mr Testo" and see if the lovely new feature works as it oughta.

Have you noticed any flicker on my Android games, lately!?

Developments

Well.. The Mac's been "on", it's just been asleep for the past .. however long, since I last dared to touch it..

Developments

I struggled to implement anything, yesterday!!

Not an awful lot of productive coding done, yesterday.

Developments

I *think* I've solved my baffling audio issue, but will have to wait for TeamOUYA to review it, first.

Developments

Aaah, the bugs..

It's all kicking off, now!

Developments

Yesterday I started work on a quick Mulitplayer Controller Test game.

Developments

Since I'm still working on the Framework, tomorrow won't be AGameAWeek Tuesday.

Developments

Thank god that's over! Now we just have the inevitable Nuclear Winter to look forward to.

Developments

Yesterday I delved deep into the Android Controller stuff, and finally figured a few things out.

Developments

Google : "API SDK 16 Controller Android FFS!!!"

*sigh*

Way way way back in time, I got an Amiga 600 for Xmas.Loading up DPaint for the first time, I wanted to test how much I could do with it's animation feature. DPaint IV had two animation modes. Full Frame or Compressed.  With compressed, as long as you stuck to minor changes, you could get a decent number of frames out of it.  In Full Frame mode, I could typically get 4 frames of animation!!  With the newfangled Mouse control, I scribbled a silly little 4 page cartoon.

As with all years, this year's had it's ups and downs. After last year's Gap-Year, it felt good to get back into the thick of things, and I started the year off with some rather odd ideas. As the year went on, the ideas fizzled out, and we got back into regular "Dodge the X, Collect the Y" territory, which is a bit of a shame. And then there was the EPIC disaster that is Gamma Collexion.
