Honestly, I might rest a bit, today. It is Sunday, after all.

Mere hours after his first appearance, and Michael Fernie's relative (Rebecca) has submitted the first FanArt of the Shoebox's AI buddy, AL.


Absolutely awesome!
Thank you, Rebec...

This morning, I posted a picture with Greenie at the side of the Four in-a Row board, and wondered if I should attempt to integrate Greenie into the game, somehow.

The latest sounds have been added to the Shoebox framework, along with a bunch of tweaks to various games to account for the new sounds.
In addition, I've now added a trashcan to the game selection screen, which will erase the scores for the sele...

I'll be trying to tweak the audio engine again, today, to see if I can do 0.25-second length sounds, and have them play on all the usual browser targets.

Made a Yahtzee Clone, today.
To keep things as legal as possible, the scoring is marginally different, so be sure to read through the rules to get to grips with the exact sets of dice that you can get points for.
You can play Shoebox of Games ...

A few quick tweaks and a change to the "Game Over" parameters, which also required the drawing of a generic trophy icon!!
Accordion is now part of the ShoeBox, overwriting what used to be "Trails".
The game now brings up a little Trophy on the ...

The pixel art and the normal font in the menu screens seemed at odds with each other. All other screens I like the fonts that are used.

@RSKGames

The fonts also might need to be changed to a pixel art font to make it look good.
Early font-test prototype
I coded this a few weeks ago, to see if web-fonts did actually work properly on as many browsers as I could find, and...

I've switched the icons on the ShoeBox menu from being "crappy scrawls" to being pixelart..
I personally think they look a little better, but what do you think?

Today's new addition to the ShoeBox is a simple anagram game.
Try to score as many points as you can from the rack of tiles that you have.
If you can't find a word, you can use the Swap button, but each one will use up one of your move...

There are an awful lot of elements that it would be great to add to the Shoebox framework, but first a few additional framework chunks need to be integrated.

During the course of making Shoebox of Games, I'm sure there'll be plenty of feedback.
If you want to get a mention, you can send feedback either in the comments, via Twitter, via email, or any other method you can think of that includes me r...

The classic "hop over to remove" solitaire game is now part of the Shoebox.

It's a simple enough game. Leap either horizontally or vertically over another counter, to remove it from the board.
Your task is to remove all but one coun...

As the board game engine slowly builds (really bloomin' slowly, this has been one heck of a challenge!!) I can now move "pieces" in and around the board.
It currently isn't a lot, and there's little or no rules, but it is at least functio...

Today I'll be tackling the actual functionality of the new Board functions.

I'm now fairly happy with the way the generic board is scrolling and zooming on my iPhings, but the desktop version needs a lot more work.

I've started work on a universal board-drawing function that should hopefully allow me to add a number of different board games into Shoebox.
