Board!
Blog
12th March 2019
I've started work on a universal board-drawing function that should hopefully allow me to add a number of different board games into Shoebox.

Same Game
Blog
8th March 2019
You know that thing where you click on clusters of coloured objects, to earn points, and try to remove all the objects...?
That's now in the ShoeBox. (Under Extras)
It's a simple enough game, but it's made me realise there's certain things lacking from the ShoeBox Framework, like Score Popups, and lovely particles and things.
Definitely going to have to add those over the next day or so, I reckon.
But, yeah, another game in the box!!
You can Play ShoeBox of Games here.

What a busy day...

First up, I've decided to just let "Trails" be "Trails", and stop worrying about what the actual game might possibly have really been.

60FPS
Blog
5th March 2019
Shoebox has been limited to a 30fps mode, simply because initial tests showed my crappy laptop to suck at trying to run it at 60fps, and the fan kicks into gear!

Accordion Solitaire
Game

Move the cards towards a single pile on the left.
You can place cards of the same suit or value atop each other, if they're directly next to each other, or jump over if they're two cards apart. Views 164, Upvotes 25

What IS it called?

I added another Solitaire game to the Shoebox, last night, but it was entirely from memory, and my memory's starting to fade!!

[Reset]
Blog
4th March 2019
I've spent the past hour or so tweaking the "failed to load" functionality of the ShoeBox, and I *think* I've managed to get it to fail well, although.. Honestly, I won't know for sure until something does in fact break, and unlike most scenarios, I can't think of a quick and easy way to test this one!
If you see a dead shoebox, be sure to let me know!
Rest assured, however, that when it does now happen, a reset should no longer erase all of your Win/Play scores, just your current gam...

Bit of Coding
Blog
3rd March 2019
Managed to get a little bit of coding done, today.
I've added a fairly swift anagram-finder to the word engine of Shoebox. The script can more or less search anagrams for about two sets of letters each second, so should be fairly useable once I start making a "generic unbranded crossword style word game" game.
The next part of that particular puzzle is trying to decide on scores for tiles.
Do I stick with "Stringy Things" tile scores, which they currently are in the game, or do I switch to using...

Tweaking the Box
Blog
28th February 2019
I did a few tweaks to the framework, yesterday.
There's now a mute button in the pause/escape menu, which works.. (For a few hours, it was there, but did absolutely nothing!!)

Fighting the Scale

Michael emailed, late last night, to complain about the scaling on one of the games.
"No," thought I, "That should be working fine.."

I Need Klondike!!
Blog
24th February 2019
Had another "This game isn't possible" email, this morning, about the blocking of the Draw Pile in Spider Solitaire.
On the one hand, I guess I need to add a little more ingame, onscreen instructional stuff.
On the other hand.. People just want Klondike, don't they!!!
So that'll be today's task. Spend a few hours trying to replicate the "classic" solitaire, and see how easy it is to get it working, without needing to rewrite too much of the overall engine.

Strings is more or less functional, although it's missing different playmodes, and the scores aren't kept, but otherwise it's working!
