Golfing...

9th August 2019
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.

Shoebox - Checkers
Blog
3rd August 2019
It's Checkers!
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.
You can Play Checkers in the One on One area of the Shoebox

26th July 2019
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
Blog
21st July 2019
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.

No Balls

I don't think I'll be getting "Game with balls" up and running within the next day-and-a-half or so, so instead, I'll make something completely different!!
But what game to make?

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!!

Shoebox - Blackjack
Blog
12th July 2019
Blackjack, Pontoon, 21. Call it what you will.
The aim is to reach as close as you can to 21, without going over.
Once you're done, AL will have a try, and whoever gets closest is the winner.
The first to reach three wins is declared the overall winner of the game.
You can Play Blackjack in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

It's the little things..
Like how the game isn't saving highscores, and the onscreen scores aren't quite readable enough, and the music doesn't end during the game-over screen, and ..
The little things..
Still haven't actually coded the game, yet, either! This is all Framework stuff.
Of course.. There's still one big issue to tackle..

It's gotten a teensy bit cooler, tonight, and I've been able to get some coding done!
The "ingame GUI" for Space Battle isn't looking awful... And that's as good as you're going to get
I might fix up that explosion graphic to make it a bit more "Stand out'y", but otherwise things are definitely a bit more playable.
I've added "double tap" to the controls, like with Atoms. I think that's probably the best bet when dealing with t...
