Developments

Here's, approximately, the insane list of things that did/didn't happen, yesterday.
1. Compile first of about 40 games for the big OUYA Fixup. Went easy enough, and the new controls seem to work just fine.
Woot!

2. Upload to OUYA. Didn't work. The whole Certificate thing stopped me, so instead I asked Team OUYA to DELETE ALL MY GAMES!!
This gives me a fresh, clean slate to work with, and should help things run a little bit smoother.

3. Waiting for them to do that.. They've still not finished. There's about 12 of my games still listed as Active.

4. Upload to PlayJam. Alien Spindome is on their servers, and their "Head of Acquisitions" has given it a try. Now waiting for review.

5. Test NeonPlat Adventures 2 on my Windows Phone.
Yes.. I have a Windows Phone.
It's a Lumia 1020, and it's frustrating as hell to get anything worthy to test-run on it, because every time it falls asleep I end up having to reboot the smegging laptop before it'll reconnect. Thus, testing is damn near impossible, and I quite frankly haven't bothered.
I did a quick "Hurry hurry hurry!!" test on it, last night, and it runs smoothly enough.

Will I actually release the game on there? Most likely not. I'd prefer not to go completely crazy!!


6. Test NeonPlat Adventures 2 on my iPad.
Having waited 24 hours for the new XCode to install, I opened it up, and got my iPad connected.
Ran the test.. Test ran smoothly, but the slider movement control seemed a little too large. I'll have to shorten the transition amount, I think.

7. Test NeonPlat Adventures 2 on iPod.
This required upgrading the iPod from iOS7 (!!!) to iOS9, but once I got it going it went nicely enough.

All three tests are showing extreme slowdown when saving the game's scores, so I'll need to dig deep and find ways to speed that up.
(Or at the very least, hide it away!!)

8. Fix Socoder's Upload, because iOS9 seems to be uploading the files with different names, or something, thus breaking my lovely "rename if from iOS" functionality.
On the plusside, the thing now works with animated .gif images from your iOS Camera Roll, even if the iOS Camera Roll doesn't animate them!

*phew*
What an eventful day!
One of those days where you realise, yet again, how utterly crap your laptop's battery is.

I need to sort that out..

Daily Doodle : It's a Crack!

Doctor Plat has found a crack, and is waving his Light-Emitting Wrench at it.
Will he fix it?
Who can tell!?
