You know that thing where you click on clusters of coloured objects, to earn points, and try to remove all the objects...?
That's now in the ShoeBox. (Under Extras)

It's a simple enough game, but it's made me realise there&#...

Shoebox has been limited to a 30fps mode, simply because initial tests showed my crappy laptop to suck at trying to run it at 60fps, and the fan kicks into gear!

I added another Solitaire game to the Shoebox, last night, but it was entirely from memory, and my memory's starting to fade!!

I've spent the past hour or so tweaking the "failed to load" functionality of the ShoeBox, and I *think* I've managed to get it to fail well, although.. Honestly, I won't know for sure until something does in fact break, and unlike most scenar...

RSKGames emailed, this morning, with a log file showing what happened in his browser, when the ShoeBox collection failed to load properly.

Managed to get a little bit of coding done, today.

I did a few tweaks to the framework, yesterday.
There's now a mute button in the pause/escape menu, which works.. (For a few hours, it was there, but did absolutely nothing!!)

Michael emailed, late last night, to complain about the scaling on one of the games.
"No," thought I, "That should be working fine.."

It's hard to keep from breaking things when they're already live on the server.

With extreme apologies, I've just deleted everyone's highscores in Shoebox! (Don't lynch me!!)

I posted Klondike late last night, then grabbed the iPad, and settled back to play for a short while.
.. Uhoh!!

You can Play Klondike in the Shoebox of Games!

Had another "This game isn't possible" email, this morning, about the blocking of the Draw Pile in Spider Solitaire.
On the one hand, I guess I need to add a little more ingame, onscreen instructional stuff.

In the upper-right of the Shoebox menu, once you've selected a game, you should now find a small "Rules" icon.
You can Play ShoeBox of Games here

Strings is more or less functional, although it's missing different playmodes, and the scores aren't kept, but otherwise it's working!

Spent the past couple of hours rewriting the audio code, so it loads the sounds after first-mouse/touch, instead of all happening right off the bat.

Since managing to completely fudge the site up, last night, I then spent a few hours whittling away at Game #2.
