Hmmm...

Hey.. This is just Spike Dislike again...!!! Sod it, different physics make it a different game, so it counts!

I've been very very sleepy today, so I had a nap!

Hmm.. You know when you think to yourself "Here's an idea", and then you try it, and go "Oh.. .. never mind then.." Still, at least I tried. It's a bit dull.

I wrote tonight's Socoder Newsletter earlier today, so that I didn't have to do it tonight. The Plan? Get home, head to the Mac, Code some Daisy Chains.. The Reality? Get home, head to the Mac, answer emails, post tweet replies, forums stuffs, and then my phone started yelling at me because I haven't posted today's blog yet. FFS!! Sod it, let's blog a rant then.. .. you wanna know what I don't get..?

Oops, I appear to have remade a Cassette 50 game.. .. ARGH!!!! (but, you know, a little bit better )

Spent some time today doing a bunch of little tweaky things. First off, late last night, I started on reformatting SpikeDislike's GameCenter code, to make it a bit more universal, and easy to plop into other games. Took about an hour to get everything working nicely, integrated into Daisy Chains, and get the highscores up and running. woot!

Random thought.. There's no denying it.. I LOVE making these tiny games.

Yesterday I suggested that Adverts were evil. If an advert pops up in my game, I tend to get a bit pissed off about it. Today, my whole game is an advert. But it's done in a "Well at least you can play the damn thing, and it's not just sitting shoved into your face while it drains your battery.." way.

BUY IT ON IPHONE!!!!

Totally drained, today. Just about managed to post a few random DaisyChain based posts/emails, and that's about it. Out of all of 'em, I'm hoping the <a href="https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=20869.0">TIGSource</a> one prods interest a little, but.. .. I dunno.. Almost a day later, only 25 views, and 0 replies.. .. It's not looking good. *Jay grabs the defibs and cranks up the charge*

Although I haven't yet started to code anything, I have spent the past few days wondering how best to tackle redefinable keys in the PlayMyCode. I'm unsure whether to go for a menu based thing, or not.

Today's game took AGES! 3 hours of slow slow progress. Must still be wiped out after yesterday! As a result, I haven't gotten around to any redefine-stuff, today. d'oh! It's on tomorrow's list!

I'd forgotten why I don't do anything on Saturdays..

Saturdays aren't meant to be AGameADay days, but I missed yesterday, so here's a catchup game. Roam around and paint without getting hit!

Missed a day. I have an idea for a game in my head, and I know what the game should play like, but .. too tired! It's been a long week!! Tomorrow's not meant to be AGameADay, but I might give it a whirl anyway.

Solutions are everywhere! There are springy splodgy sticky blobs you can slap on the screen, there's big fullsized controller connectors to wrap the phone in, and there's even wifi touchscreen iPod -> iPad controller things, too. Plenty to choose from...

If you tried to enjoy some TV yesterday, you probably had craploads of Olympic crap crammed down your face. It's still a smegging year away, and I'm already sick to death of it! Have you had enough yet?! Olympic Based AGameADay!! Why not attempt to carry the torch for the entire year that's left!? .. or not!

PS, YEAY! GREENIE!!!!! And he's wearing Green, which is incredibly unlike him!

During this little AGameADay mini marathon thing I've been waking up, coding a game, then having my breakfast. Each game's taking about an hour, occasionally 2. They're quickies. I also planned not to do Wednesday games. Today took a detour..

Wednesday's my day for iDev, rather than AGameADay. At the minute I'm downstairs keeping an eye on Mum, since mum's not too well.. The Mac is upstairs. Bugger... .. Fuck it, might as well go mental, then! Have a cheap Mario clone made in only 5 hours!

(Apologies, it's a bit "half-asleep/randomly ranty/jumping through topics/freeflow" today!!) As an iDev guy, I get 50 codes per Update for all my games. I can hand these out to reviewers or folk I know. Handy. So, off they go, sent out, willy nilly, to all the reviewers/people I can find, and see where it takes me.

Wasn't so sure I'd have time for this, today, but mum's got a few friends around and is busy chatting away! (Mum's currently sprained her leg, so I'm on Nurse Jay duty for the next week or so!) So, an hour spare, and another game done!

Was ill, feeling fine today, but with an added complication. My Mum's been to the Lake District, and has come back with an "almost broke" Sprained foot. uhoh! I'm doing caretaker duties for the next wee while, so apologies if I don't get around to everything. Finding myself making little checklists.. thank god for StickyNotes Windows 7 - The good bits of XP, without the mindbogglingly shit bits of Vista, now with added post-it's.

If you're following, you'll have probably seen it coming. Jay codes, Jay codes more, Jay writes blogs, Jay does music, Jay feels a bit tired, Jay codes more, Jay feels really tires, Jay writes a big-ass Newsletter, Jay stays awake all night, Jay codes more, Jay drags himself home from work, Jay goes to sleep for 12 hours, Jay's big sleep fucks his neck up again..

Won't be posting a blog tonight, so might as well do it now. Long long night.. Sat up writing the newsletter 'til late, then posted the short blog, then headed to bed about 1am.. After lying there playing Sheep Goes Left for an hour or two, I finally drifted off, only to wake up at 5am.

You might say... "Hey, this is just Spike Dislike with different controls.." And you might be right..! Here it is, anyway!
