Yaha!! ^ That'll be debug output from iOS, by the way.

I decided not to work on the Framework, yesterday, and instead focus on the more immediate issues.

Things are looking great for this week's game. The balance is now just-right, and I'm getting more or less similar scores on each play-through, which is usually my sign that I've done a decent job at making the thing play at the same level each time.

Ugh. I wasn't expecting my first attempt at iOS/XCode to run smoothly! The main complaints from the dozens of error messages, were warning me that "C++ Expects Types" when declaring and using functions. Well, no.. It doesn't.. It's working fine in both the Windows and HTML editions. XCode expects types.. Not C++. C++ is fine without!

This week's game is near enough in a playable state.

So far, no progress on the box. I decided to attempt to get my simple Hello World code to additionally run on Android, so I started by looking into "Android compile C++" Various sites suggested I need the Android NDK and to look at the included examples. The examples, of course, weren't bloody well included, and I had to hunt for those, too.

I imagine future Daily Blog posts might end up reading roughly the same way, for a while.. "Today, I coded more of my new Framework..." and that's about it!

Today's been all about Emscriptn, which is the tool I'll be (hopefully!) using to convert C++ to HTML5 projects. First issue, the compiler didn't know how to include extra includes, so my "I can do it all via the command line" didn't quite work out, already!!

I really need to finish off this week's game!

Nothing much at all is different, and I'm afraid this is mostly a "For Futureproofing" update to the game. iPhoneX's silly screen ratio was making it so that Sheepy would leap right off the top of the screen. I've fixed that. .. I think! Although, in all honesty, I'll need someone with an iPhoneX to double check it. But otherwise, that's the fix, and that's it uploaded and submitted for review. Oooooh.. Exciting!!!

"Hello World" claims the title of the box.

I give up. Over the past 30-odd hours, I've tried a boatload of languages, and although all seem capable in their own particular ways, none of them seem to do everything that I need them to do. I'm still annoyed that GLBasic doesn't do sound-pitching. Seriously, WTF?! An Amiga 1000 could do that in 1985.

OUYA's been dead for a couple of years, now, but it seems that Razer's latest plan is to replace "Android TV Gaming" with "Android Mobile Gaming", and .. well, I've written about that, before.
