Have a great night. May the end of the year be a little bit less bitter than the rest of the year's been, and lets hope that everything goes well in 2019. .. It never does, but we can dream! -=-=- As the year draws to a close, I guess my "bonus time" must end, too. It's time to focus on a more realistic AGameAWeek schedule, and start making some decent games once again. Futrinos will be first, but I doubt I'll get it magically finished by tomorrow, the first Tuesday of the year. Ex...

The new game needs boxes. Where can I get boxes?!

Added Boxes and Crates for all the boxiness. Crates are always handy in videogames, and these crates come in all manner of shapes and sizes. .. As long as the shape is square!

I thought I was a dab-hand at iPhone "tweaks", but today's issue has be rather flummoxed.

The first project for the year will be a new version of Futrino.

Over on Socoder, RSKGames posted a lovely "Top 10 AGameAWeek Games of 2018", so here it is lovingly reproduced with links and pics! (And with extreme apologies that it's taken me a week to get around to doing this!!) -=-=-

10. Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit

First puzzle game of 2018. If it was not so insanely difficult it will be higher up in the list.

Hopefully I can get a bit more done, today!

I've a few tweaks to make on the HTML5 framework. Hopefully I can get the multitouch to work right on iOS Safari.

I'll be taking the day off from the usual stuff, today. If I have time, I might see about posting RSKGames' "Top AGameAWeek Games 10 of 2018", later, but that'll be entirely dependent on how the day goes. In the meantime, I'll try to treat myself to a day away from computery things, and spend some much needed time with my family. My sister's come home for Xmas and it's not been a very good year for her, so.. .. Yeah, family time. Have a wonderful day, everybody.

Palettes are vaguely integrated into the engine. For the meantime, the palette simply forces any colour drawing to be selected from within a selection of predetermined colours. Due to the way JavaScript's canvas drawing works, the effect isn't 100%, with all manner of anti-aliasing getting in the way of things. A better option would be to draw the spritesheet, then do a second pass, forcing each individual pixel to be from the chosen palette. .. Another day, perhaps. Meanwhile, I'...

I think I definitely need to start integrating more mouse controls into my games!!
