I really really doubt this is going to be playable by Saturday!
There's a lot that isn't working, right now.. Basically, it can draw it, but it sure as hell can't play it!!

Today I did something that might very well break the Shoebox.
I've changed from having individual .js files for each game, to having a combined comb.js file that holds all of the games.
Hopefully, if your game breaks, a simple refresh of the page should reload the cache, and bump everything back to the way that it should be.
If it gets completely stuck, let me know, as well as what device/browser you're using, and I'll do my best to fix it.

A classic solitaire, this week.
Combine cards which add up to 13, in order to remove them from the pyramid.
Can you clear the pyramid?!

17th August 2019
What a happy title for a card game!!
Fairly complex rules ahead, but it's actually really simple once you get the hang of it.
Your aim in this game is to remove all "Pay off" cards from your side of the table. (They're the cards on the bottom left)
To do so, move cards onto the Center Piles (the three in the middle), starting from Ace and moving up to Queen. These can be of any suit, and if you place a King, it acts as a wildcard, becoming the next number in the sequence.

As with last week's Shoebox game, I actually uploaded it about mid-day, yesterday, but haven't yet officially posted about it.
If you're the nosey sort, keep an eye on Shoebox on a Friday, and you might catch a glimpse of the next game, before it's properly finished.
I first wanted to double check everything, and that's best done on the iPad, whilst sat riding my little foot-pedal-doohickey.

RSKGames returns with his thoughts on recent games.
You can Play Shoebox of Games here, which are all Mouse/Touch controlled games, which run 100% in the browser.
Or you can Play Browsercade here, which are all Keyboard/Gamepad controlled games, for a more Arcade-like experience, but which also run in your browser.
@RSKGamesBrowsercade games: The main menu or Homepage looks fantastic with each game having the name at the top in their own game themes.Views 370, Upvotes 31

The Minigolf game's quite fun to play, so far, and today I'm going to try to add a couple more obstacles.
I'm thinking a giant spinning stick that thwacks the ball if it's within the radius, and maybe adding some directional floor tiles that act a little like slopes.

It's not a hard game, and AL's a bit daft (as per usual) but it's Checkers!
Jump over your opponent's pieces, diagonally, until there's nothing left but your own.

Line up all 9 cards inside the grid so that each row and column add up to 21.
The game uses Pontoon/Blackjack scoring rules, so Jacks, Queens and Kings are each worth 10, and Aces can count as either 1 or 11.
You can Play Pontoon Grid in the Shoebox under the Misc games.

Popomatic Shading

Alan suggestsThe fact that the die is white at the beginning of your turn, and also white after you roll makes it unclear at a glance whether the die's current value is your actual move. Not sure what the solution is. Maybe dimming the die or displaying question marks on its faces in pre-roll mode, and the normal white with pips in post-roll mode? A valid point. The "Popomatic" function has a "Locked/Unlocked" value, so I can use that to decide when to draw v1 or v2. I'll have a pl...Views 154, Upvotes 22

As I was drifting off to sleep, my mind was racing for a decent Foldapuz concept for the week.
I thought about cards, and considered a grid of 5x5 cards.

After I release more and more games, player's try desperately to keep up!
Let's see what RSKGames thinks of today's Shoebox addition.
You can Play Grid of Conquest in the Shoebox, under the Group Games section.
@RSKGames''Grid of Conquest'' immediately reminded me of ''Might of the Balls'' which was incidentally made almost on a similar date last year ''23rd July, 2018''. Oh yeah! I'd actually forgotten about that game.Views 152, Upvotes 33

Grid of Conquest
Game
20th July 2019
Try to claim as much of the board as you can.
You'll earn extra points for claiming the green chequered tiles, and if you roll a six, you can reclaim any opponent's squares. Views 353, Upvotes 30

Try to fill up as much of the board in your colour as you can.
Normally you can't move over opponent's tiles, but if you earn a 6, you're allowed to move wherever you'd like.
There are additional green spots on the board. Reach these for a couple of extra points.
You can Play Grid of Conquest in the Shoebox of Games under the Group Games section.

Yesterday I was playing with Alien sprites.
Today, I've been playing with Balls!
First off, don't get too excited!
This is currently only a simple physics test, and is in no way representative of the end result!
I'm actually aiming for a completely different game, first, but figured I might as well test the physics whilst I'm here.
So far, so good, although the physics are occasionally a little bit glitchy.
But..
.. Yeah, works fine!!
