The first of the 2021 advent calendar. Blast the aliens, in a rather generic and bland invaders clone. (I swear, they get better than this!!) If you want to play the game, you can Play it Here.

I stumbled upon an odd quirk in JSE yesterday.

Spent hours, yesterday, trying to squeeze every little bit out of the engine that I could.

I'm still trying to get that JSE speed score down a bit more.

Oooh, a stress test!

I managed to get JSE from 58 to 56, last night!! Woohoo!!

As I carry on making those little nips and tucks around JSE, I'm noticing slowdown on my Windows tests.

I didn't even think about WASM, yesterday..

Spent the majority of yesterday fiddling with JSE in the hopes of formulating the WASM edition a little more.

Yep, sure can be slow..

Not very often that I have to plan ahead, but the WASM stuff is really baffling.

My first couple of test runs with WASM showed that, in general, it actually slows things down.

I started looking into WASM again, last night.

Yeah, yesterday didn't go too well..

Let's have another peek at that todo list, shall we?

I added the ability for Text-To-Speech into the JSE engine yesterday.

Collect the stars to build up a boost, as you ride your minecart to the goal. Gather the stars, then score at the end. A nice little highscore challenge.

You know those days when you're absolutely sure you did something, but can't find any evidence of having done anything!?

I'm not 100% sure about how this sounds..

I think this is as streamlined as I'm going to get it!

Made this, quickly, this morning.

NES, SMS and Atari have been added to JSE's list of available "UsePalette" colour palettes.

Hmmm..

This week's game set off a whole lot of motion sickness!

A few important changes have happened recently.

Got all wrapped up in the odd Slowness, and couldn't get back out!
