Bit of a late night, last night. Well, it wasn't too late. I got to sleep around about 1 in the morning, but then inexplicably woke up at 3, and could NOT get back to sleep again!
Wasn't until about 6:30 before I did, and as would be expected, I'm utterly wrecked, this morning.
Bah, humbug!

Didn't get any coding done, yesterday.
Had another one of those "Mind's not playing" days. There seems to be a lot of those, lately.

Posted a "Checking In" post to both Facebook and Twitter, simply asking how everyone was holding up, and got a nice set of responses.
Everyone locked inside, and trying desperately to keep themselves entertained.

How are you coping through all of this?

If it helps in any way, creativity seems to keep me going. Daily Pixelarts, Music, and of course all the Coding, too.
Try to find an outlet for your creativity, and it should help you pass the time.

Stay safe, everyone.

Started the circular blaster last night, and ended up using the same shoot-em-up sprites that are already in the other shoot-em-up games in the Browsercade..

A recent discussion in an email thread brought up the fact that I used to (back in the days of evil, evil, evil Napster) make weekly/daily suggestions for music I'd found.

Lately, I've been bulking up my JPop collection thanks to the wonders of Apple Music, and the idea of bringing back a semi-regular JPicks feature seemed to be a ... decent idea? Maybe..!



Apple Music Link
If you've got an Apple Music subscription, give that link a whirl, and let me know if it works.

The playlist is made up of music I've stumbled across during the month, roughly in the order I found it. There'll be a slight leaning towards JPop, but not all tracks will be.
Remixes, covers, videogame music.. Anything goes!
Choices aren't necessarily new tracks, either. Just new to me!

If this works, let me know if you think I should do this regularly.
Alternatively, feel free to complain that you use Spotify!!

A quick "game" tutorial type thing for a silly little game, created using PetitCom/SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch.

If you've grabbed a copy from the Japanese eShop, you should be able to follow along, since the program itself now includes a complete English translation.

I'll assume you're using the program with a USB Keyboard attached, but if not, most of the keyboard functionality can be accessed by hitting the [-] button on your controller.


From the main menu, hit the Make a Program button.

Week Two, on the Island.


The week started with a bang, as all the villagers gathered for the opening of the island's campsite.
Even Mr Angry Brows decided to be slightly less mean, on this occasion.

Latest Game : 02nd April 2020 : Matrix Blaster

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!

(As in.. A board made of cards!)
Move around the Card Board and score points as you go.
Points are awarded when you land on an unturned card, based on the card's value (Ace = 1, Jack = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13)

If you land on a Diamond, you'll earn twice as much. A Heart will give you another go. Landing on a Spade will cause you to Lose the points, whilst landing on a Club will award the points to all the other players.

The winner is the player with the most points, once the last card has been turned.

You can Play Card Board in the Shoebox, inside your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.
