Trying to figure out the best control method, I decided to make the cue "Drag back", instead of "Drag forward".

OK, time to rewrite "All Cued Up" for the Shoebox.

Today I should probably spend some time drawing some more SoCoder emojis. (Is emoji plural?)

Apple fixed the audio bug in Shoebox. And it wasn't even their fault..!!

Not happening.. .. yet..

Two similar solitaire games, in which you move cards of higher or lower value onto the Foundation pile, in order to clear out the deal pile. Uintah features four foundation piles, whilst Wasatch only contains one. Game Concept - Gordon Bower You can Play Uintah and Wasatch in the Shoebox.

I say zero.. It's not zero. More like 2% .. maybe 3..

I've been wrangling the "Football as a board game" concept for most of the day, but "fairness" is putting me off.

Switch out the highlighted letter for another, and try to make new words. Be sure you don't duplicate any words along the way.

Use the five provided poke-types, and poke at five of the tiles, in order to match the given target grid. Easy mode is more of a tutorial, Normal mixes things up, and then Hard really ramps things up. You can Play Poke 5,n in the Shoebox, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

As much as I love making gambling games (after all, my IRL name is actually James Gamble) I've tried to steer away from them for the past decade or so.

Don't worry, I'm still working on the same game, it's just that the game's changed quite a bit.

A blank slate, this morning, as I try to come up with a Shoebox game to do. I did consider getting back to finishing off The Quest, but every time I look at the code, the whole thing seems to be larger in scope than I ever imagined it might be.

I posted this Monday's game, last night, already! I figured today probably wouldn't be a very productive coding day, so thought I should do something quick, and ended up with another Solitaire game for Shoebox. Monte Carlo Solitaire is in the Shoebox's Card Games, and I'll do the bloggy stuff later on, whe...

OK, I THOUGHT (according to comments on half-a-dozen websites) that the issue I was having with the cache was a "Leave it for 24 hours and it'll magically update" one. I've left it for about 28 hours, and still Edge Chromium isn't updating the spritesheet for the game, thus... For me at least.. None of the sprites for Handlink are showing up. They ARE showing up in Firefox, Chrome and iOS Safari. So, um. If you're in the mood, give it a whirl and let me know what happens for you. Do...
