Only 2 Biscuits...?
Blog
13th March 2018
Although I've now upgraded the level generator to handle more than 1 biscuit at a time, the maximum it seems to be able to make levels with is 2.
After that, biscuits keep falling off the level, and the levels aren't completable.
So, one or two biscuits at a time, but the levels are still kinda samey.
Although the generator's coming up with nice and complex paths to get the biscuits, the end result is that you can complete the level much easier if you just ignore the complex path and do you...

What to add to the Biscuit game?
Unsure of what else I can throw into the mix, I'm now instead considering just having a second and possibly third biscuit in the levels.

Tonight I worked on the level generator for the Biscuit Puzzler, and it seems to work reasonably well.
The main problem now, is that with one biscuit in a grid of 5x5, the gameplay's more than a little repetitive.
I'm going to have to see if I can come up with something a little more interesting to keep the game alive.
As it stands, though, there's some fiendishly difficult puzzles coming out of the generator, and that's good to see

Scrabbling Some More
Blog
12th March 2018
Last night I rejigged a lot of the Scrabble Scoreboard, and especially focused on the GUI a little. That Undo button still doesn't quite work, with it being tucked right at the top of the screen, but otherwise the new GUI looks a little more usable.

Had a nice long game of Super Scrabble against Mum, today, and the games last much longer, as expected!
Took about 2 hours, or thereabout, before one of us had won*.

Happy Mother's Day
Blog
11th March 2018
It's Mother's Day, here in the UK, so today will be spent mostly not doing my normal thing of disappearing with code all day!
Today will, instead, be spent playing Scrabble.. Which I've conveniently gone and made a nice new App for playing with!
Incidentally, I also bought Mum the Super edition of Scrabble, which has twice as many letter tiles, and oodles more space to play within.
Yup, today's all planned out!
See you tomorrow.
And, Happy Mother's Day.

Might as well make this an official AGameAWeek release, eh?
This week's release isn't really a game. It's more of a Tool, or a Game-Companion!

Score My Words
Game
10th March 2018
Note : Not a Game
This is a tool to aid in the playing of Real World Scrabble. You can use this to add up word values, keep track of scores, and it even has minimal word checking integrated, too. This tool works great when run on a board-side tablet device. You might also like to use HDMI/AirPlay/ChromeCast to stream the gameplay to your TV, at which point you can then stream it online, if you're that sort of player. Views 608, Upvotes 65

Today I have to look into re-integrating the WordList functionality into Monkey for the purposes of the Scrabble Scoreboard I made yesterday.

Platdude's found a new light.
He's not sure what the point of it is, though.
Silly thing keeps turning itself off.

This is coming along rather well.
The scores are now all totting up, and everything's working to a moderately decent standard.
The game/tool's not very good at noticing gaps in word placements, so you could put down "Happy Cat" and it wouldn't notice the space.
That needs fixed.
But if you're playing along with a real-world board game, as is the intention with this, you can probably work around that slight flaw!!

Not sure where I'll be plonking this week's game, but I expect a quick
upload to the server in HTML5 format will probably suffice.
The basic layout is working, tile placement seems ok. There's a Cancel word button and a Enter Word button.
There's also undo functionality, which will be helpful when you accidentally hit the Enter Word button!! (Something that was incredibly frustrating in my previous attempt at this sort of thing.)
Next I need to go through all the different tile/wor...

The gameplay now more or less functions for this week's game, and as far as puzzles go, it seems to be nice and complicated, without being too difficult to understand.
Todo List
1. Add a few more elements to make it a bit more interesting.
2. Decide on a decent way to generate tons of levels.
3. Ugh.. Menu.. URRRGHH!!!
But, gameplay wise, it's looking good!
