This week's SmileBASIC game is currently an incredibly bland looking Space Invaders clone.

There's a new button on the main GUI. .. But what does it do!?!

Spent ALL day yesterday working on a single addition for JSE.

A couple of basic shapes have been added to the engine.

I tried adding a bunch of effects into the engine, yesterday, but.. Yikes!!

I've given up.. Have a Buffer.

You can now add a 3 parameter to the graphics command to make everything pixel-scaled, instead of being maths-scaled.

Help Roland gather up the time crystals (shhh, don't tell Horace). Due to an erroneous glitch in the time booth, there may be multiple instances of yourself. Do not touch yourself. If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

This week's game has barely any difficulty to it.

My scaling's off again!

Decided to make a "Sprite Rip" game in SmileBASIC, this week.

OK, Newsletter's ready to go. ALChoon was done last night.

I'm still not having much luck with that WASM stuff..

I had another night of waking up with ideas for little snips and trims to optimise JSE a teensy bit more.

Gather up all the treasure to lighten the island a bit. There be HP points in them there boxes.. If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

Grrr..

The obligatory set of speedups, which have been gradually implemented over the past couple of days.

1am After an hour or so asleep, my head went "Hey, I wonder if changing x-line a bit would help speed the engine up at all?"

Spent a good number of hours watching Netflix stuff, last night.

After a couple of suggestions over at SoCoder, I added Continue and Break/Exit, yesterday.

I ordered my Mum a PS4 controller, the other day, and it arrived yesterday.

.. or rather, doesn't do anything!

Got another nice increase in speed, this morning.

More subtle optimising again, yesterday.

As I look at the ToDo list, I realise something.. .. I've not tackled any of these for a good while..
