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.

Does the handlink show up, or do you get the eerie invisible game that I'm getting?


I'm at a loss to figure out this issue, other than the "last resort" of renaming all the files, any time I need to update them.

Further discussion of this issue can be found in this thread, at SoCoder

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.

Having to wait 24 hours for the new cache method to work for Shoebox, I instead decided to start work on adding the new Cache method of Browsercade.

Having some right issues with the cache, today.

Yesterday was a fairly significant downer.
Terrible news on the home-front, and all plans were off.

Bad news is what it is, and there's not a lot I can do about it, but it's certainly something that puts a stop to all the things you're doing.

Today I'll try to get my mind back into its normal place, and see if I can make a game.
I've been saying all week about how much I like Foldapuz's new Five Blocks game, so I'll probably end up redoing that for Shoebox, today.

That's the plan, anyway.
We'll see how it goes.

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 any oddities or (hopefully not!!) complete breakdowns along the way.

Good luck!

You can Play Shoebox here.

The updated version number on the main menu should be v1.128 or higher.

.. If only that was "Money!" and not "trying to update the cache for Shoebox"

Protect the city from the ominous bouncing meteors. It makes so sense, but shoot them all anyway!

If you've a Switch, and have downloaded PetitCom4 from the (Currently) Japan-Only eShop (vague instructions here), you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...
