Don't worry, I'm still working on the same game, it's just that the game's changed quite a bit.

A blank slate, this morning, as I try to come up with a Shoebox game to do.
I did consider getting back to finishing off The Quest, but every time I look at the code, the whole thing seems to be larger in scope than I ever imagined it might be.

Clear the cards by matching alike-value cards which are beside each other.
As you clear areas, hit the remaining card pile to shuffle cards towards the top-left, and retrieve more cards from the deck. Views 166, Upvotes 22

Free Dislike!

23rd February 2020
As is tradition for my birthday, SpikeDislike2 is free on iOS today.
If you don't already have it, go and grab it, and then have fun disliking spikes.
MeanwhileI posted this Monday's game, last night, already! I figured today probably wouldn't be a very productive coding day, so thought I should do something quick, and ended up with another Solitaire game for Shoebox. Monte Carlo Solitaire is in the Shoebox's Card Games, and I'll do the bloggy stuff later on, whe...Views 99, Upvotes 33

Abandoned Idea
Blog
24th January 2020
The word puzzle/game thing I thought was going to work has also ended up being abandoned.
The game's own logic became its downfall!

OK, I THOUGHT (according to comments on half-a-dozen websites) that the issue I was having with the cache was a "Leave it for 24 hours and it'll magically update" one.
I've left it for about 28 hours, and still Edge Chromium isn't updating the spritesheet for the game, thus... For me at least.. None of the sprites for Handlink are showing up.
They ARE showing up in Firefox, Chrome and iOS Safari.
So, um. If you're in the mood, give it a whirl and let me know what happens for you.

Shoebox - Handlink
Blog
12th January 2020
Light up five of the handlink's buttons so that all the surrounding values become zeroes.
Each value states how many squares in its row/column should be lit up, and will change along with your pushes, so a bit of analysis should allow you to solve the puzzle well enough.
You can Play Handlink in the Shoebox, under the Misc Games section.

Cache Update
Blog
10th January 2020
The Shoebox is now using the "Server Worker" method of caching, instead of the older AppCache style.
With any luck, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference, and everything will continue to work swimmingly.
I'm not sure what the exact rule for cache-update-checks is, especially if you're playing with an "Add to Home Screen" kind of bookmark, but it appears to be doing a decent job of keeping up to date.
Please do give it a try, and let me know how you get on with the update, reporting...

Last week, Tobobobo picked out this game as a possible Shoebox addition, and .. I think it's probably something that could work.
I think that'll be this week's Shoebox title. It seems simple enough, but deceptively so. A nice unusual game, fit for the box.
If you've any games you'd like to see me tackle, be it Foldapuz, Shoebox or Browsercade, feel free to suggest it, and I'll see if I can work it into play.
