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 dodgy due to co-ordinate issues.

But otherwise it works nicely. (Although it isn't "quite" centring properly!)
Scroll around, select a game, sorted..
Currently all "games" lead to the exact same test engine, but eventually this will (hopefully!) be a massive collection of games!

There's also a ton of space at the top for Options/Credits/etc

A simple, (but somewhat eye-popping) logic puzzle, this week.
A few of the dominos haven't been filled in!
Using the combination of the row/column totals (at the end of each row) along with the fact that you shouldn't be duplicating any dominos, try to fill in the missing blanks.

But.. Beware..
You should also try not to fill in any of the blanks that actually should be blank!

You can Play Domino Grid here, or wait for it to show up in your regularly scheduled Foldapuz pages.

I need to come up with a Foldapuz for tonight.
Really running out of ideas for that, but am determined to keep pushing onwards until there are literally no more random puzzles left to put in!

Shoebox doesn't scale in a normal way.

..?

I've enjoyed doing Shoebox for the past few months, and am currently trying to decide whether I should make a similar browser-based collection of Keyboard/Gamepad supported games.
Delving through the depths of AGameAWeek's past, I'd be able to build up a fairly interesting collection that can all be played in your browser.
.. I might even add one of those "Onscreen Controls" things for when you're playing on mobile..


If I were to do this, I've decided that a nice name might be "Browsercade", and have "designed" *cough* the logo/icon above.

Any thoughts?
Leave them below.

After each release, or thereabouts because it's getting hard for even me to keep up, we get a little bit of feedback for the games.
If you'd like to join in, you can either use the Comments section, Email me, or send a Tweet.

You can Play Atoms in the ShoeBox. It's in the "Group Games" section.

LOL! Poor @RSKGames!

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..



I'll have a look into it.

This week's Petit Switch release is a recreation of one of my favourite puzzlers, Blockman Gets.



If you have a copy of Petit Computer 4 (SmileBASIC) running on Switch (currently only on the Japanese eShop) you can grab the Blockman using the Public Key : 424PN33N4

Latest Game : 14th June 2019 : Blockman Gets

Petit Computer 4, SmileBasic for Nintendo Switch, was released on 23rd of May, 2019 in the Japanese eShop.
If you'd like to give it a try, I've written this vague guide to get you started with getting the Japanese edition onto your none-Japanese Switch, as well as these additional blog posts.

I've also made the following downloads for the language.

I'll aim to post a new game every Friday, so watch out for them!

I was flicking through my Shoebox Todo-List, today, and stumbled upon Atoms.
I haven't attempted Atoms for a while, mostly because it requires me to draw all those Atoms!!



But, today I drew them, and the engine seems fairly capable.

(ignore the fact that half those positions aren't "real", it's just a crazy animating thing, right now!)

Before I dare to attempt to turn AGameAWeek into a "All in one big javascript engine" mega compilation, I think it's important to jot down a few "issues" that there might be..

Spent most of last night playing with this Javascript Mod Player which seems nice and functional.

In the new framework, audio tests are going ahead.

An mp3 can stream, and play, and even stays in memory for repetition or restarts when the game is restarted.
The mp3 can be paused, the mp3 can be set to loop.
This is all good.

Moreso, I've coded the ability for different mp3s to play for different games, and perhaps even different tracks per level. The browser will grab the mp3 as needed, and will play it.
This is all good!!

Yeay!

Except...

I can't seem to get back into a "normal" AGameAWeek flow.
Which is an odd thing to say, given I've released 6 games in the past couple of weeks.

Starting from Hex-Tile 1, place the numbers in a route from 1 to 24 in order, moving 1 tile along, each time.

You can play Play Rikudo here or they'll show up in standard Foldapuz

Today will be without a release, but there's not been an "AGameAWeek proper" for a long time, so I don't think anyone's going to be too disappointed by that fact!

But what of the rest of the week?
