In order to properly test my onscreen touch controls, I'm going to need some kind of quick playable game, so that's going to be today's task.
Something short and simple, but complex enough to really put the controls to the test.

I'm fairly content with how the touch controls seem to be working, now, and they're apparently functional on both iPad Wide and iPhone Tall displays.
The DPad can be a teensy bit large on iPad Tall, though, so I might yet still make ...

Crikey, I wasn't expecting this to be as hard as it is!
Reminder to developers : Just because it works with a mouse on your PC, doesn't mean it'll work well with a giant iPad screen or tiny iPhone screen, directly in your hands!
I t...

Started to make some progress with Touchscreen Controls, for Browsercade, today.
The hard part was getting this button to work..

I honestly can't fathom why Firefox's cache isn't doing what it's supposed to.

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 ...

I think, today, I'm going to focus on getting the final Framework touches of Browsercade done.
Step One will be working out how plausible buffer-drawing is, whilst in a html canvas.

Step one, design (and/or copy+paste from previous editions!) a logo and icon for the game.
Step two, start writing game.
Step three, realise I'm a long way from being ready to start writing the game!!

I was almost certain I was near the end of the Browsercade Framework, but .. Nope.. There are still things to do!

I *think* I'm almost ready to start coding my first Browsercade game.

Looks much better!!
I'm now struggling with pausing the music when you alt+tab, or otherwise multitask away from the browser.
I seem to have got it working on iPad Safari (which is alarmingly unusual!) and Firefox, but not in Chrome or Edge...

Have spent today working on more menu gubbins, and default "Quit", "Retry" buttons and things. The basic pause screen is looking terribly familiar!

Today I need to rewrite a ton of my input code, to work properly with redefined keys/gamepads, and then add a screen to let you do that.
.. More bloomin' menus.
Grrr!!

.. Have I said how much I hate doing menus?!

After a couple of days of back&forth, I've finally decided "meh, whatever!" and opted to go for a Coverflow-RipOff style menu.
It actually looks rather nice, and scrolls quite well, except on touchscreens where the thing's a teensy bit d...

Shoebox doesn't scale in a normal way.

I finally got music and sound effects working nicely together in the "not the shoebox" Javascript engine, and it all works nicely on my iPad, too!
Great stuff!!
Next Challenge.. Input!

@RSKGames suggests..
Can you consider making a version of the new AGAW JS mega compilation into an electron app so that you can retain the online scoreboard. In a electron app I think you can restrict users getting into the dev console.
