The music pass is going relatively well.

-=-=-

I think I should manage to finish this pass later today.
It's not going "too" bad, but I have opted to leave a couple of mods in, where the mods feel infinitely better.
Really Retro Racer is one of the places where chiptunes just tend to work better.
I've tried to stick to the same sort of melodies throughout, but I think we're just going to have to put up with the fact that some of the JMTrackr tunes weren't really based on anything else I've made, so have in turn ended up being quite a bit different sounding to what they were before.
But hopefully people can cope with that.
... especially since nobody's played the Browsercade for quite a while!!

With that almost nearly done, it's time to start thinking about ...

Pass Four

This is the biggy, and will likely take more than a few days to cover.
There's not too many games in my redux list, but the ones that are there feel like they're going to take more than a few days worth of work.
Things like "Why don't you just redo Disk O' Green from scratch", and "Willy Bomber deserves better"
Most of the games will, of course, be exactly the same as they ever were, but a few games really do need a little care and attention.

Optimal Spring, for example, doesn't quite seem to be working correctly, so that needs fixed before I upload all of this.
I'd also like to be able to add a "Fullscreen Portrait" mode to one or two games.
Clusters of Hex being one of them. So, whilst the engine with typically force a specific ratio, it can also scale when needed.

In fact, if you've any favourites in the Browsercade, games that you love, or even games that you hate, why not let me know how I can improve them, fix them up, make them a little better, and I'll add any suggestions to the list that I'm making.
Pop thoughts in the comments or the Discord

Browsercade is, of course, over at Browsercade.com!
.. In case I haven't mentioned that over the past couple of weeks. .. I don't think I have, if I'm honest.
I've just been banging on about all these improvements, and not actually linking to it!
Derp!
The current version at Browsercade.com is still the version from before I've done all of what I've been doing the past month or so. I'll be uploading everything once I'm happy with how it all does or doesn't work.

....

... But first, I have the third pass to finish.

Odd Banana Bug

D'oh!!!
I knew exactly what this bug was, the second I saw Michael Fernie's comment on the game, this morning.
Every time I build a new Foldapuz game, I tend to reset the seed every refresh, meaning I'm constantly looking at completely random puzzles, rather than daily ones. This means I can, not only get the generator working, but also stress test that it doesn't break under chaotically random conditions.
Because it's not defaulting to the daily seed, it means that the "reveal" version is also completely random, and not the same daily seed as the none-revealed version.

Usually when I'm done, I turn that off, and it reverts to daily preset puzzles.
On this occasion, I forgot to do that, like the banana that I am.
(This is all cached, too, just to make things extra complicated!!

I think we can blame all the chaos of Browsercade for my lapse in memory.

I've flushed out today's cache, and reuploaded the game, so all puzzle solutions should now function accurately. The puzzles will all be different, though, since today's Seed will be different to the completely random seed they were previously generated with.

Sorry about that!
*slaps wrist*
Stop juggling 100 tasks at once, Jay! Or at the very least, focus on the one AGameAWeek you're supposed to be doing, and not the 60+ ones you're not!
