I *think* the "Lost Levels" error might've been to do with me trying to save too much data at once. The framework's save got mixed up with the level editor's save, and the data simply vanished into the ether.

I've added a "Saving" display, so that the user can't do anything whilst the save's happening. Hopefully that should solve the issue, but I'll be keeping a watchful eye on my levels!!

In the meantime, I'm ploughing ahead, and now have 16 tutorial'y levels.
I'll be adding another set of 4 tutorial'y levels, but after that the player will be left to stumble through the chaos themselves.

Somehow I've lost all the levels that I made, yesterday.
This is going to require some complicated hunting to figure out why!!
Dun-dun-durrrr..

As well as JNKPlat, I've the following few projects going on in the background.

Just a quick video to show how easy it is to edit levels.
Oh, and all the audio's in, too!

There are currently 4 levels in the game.

Last night I started popping the audio into the game, and thankfully nothing's broken! (I was a little worried about memory!)

The level above was created using the 3DS edition of the game.
In fact, a whole 4 level pack was created, then swiftly backed up to the PC, in case anything breaks!!

4 Levels, and a successful first proper pack!

I will, of course, need to create a few simpler packs for the start of the game, but this is a nice and complex level, and should be roughly the size of most of the levels in the game.

The level select menu is almost up to a usable state.

At some point, I need to start making some actual levels for the game.

This has been one heck of a long journey!!

Yesterday I continued to work on the Multi-Coloured Print exporting functionality on my PixelArt to STL tool.

1. Having to compress level data, to shave a few hundred kilobytes of data that can't quite fit into the memory of the 3DS without it crashing, but then it being perfectly happy to have about 7Mb of audio crammed in.

Those blocks need shifting.
Get back to work.

Don't expect much, it's just a retread of Quadoban, with nothing new added into the mix other than the levels!!

Amazing what a little hand-made data compression can do!!

I should probably have already known this, but taking 500 levels worth of data and cramming it directly inside the code of a 3DS game, seems to cause memory issues!!

What have I done!?!?

Although I've finally made a decent start on Menu Two, I've come to the conclusion that JNKPlat isn't going to be anywhere near ready, within the next couple of weeks.

Read More

Well, kinda.
I spent yesterday fiddling with all manner of background stuff, the end result of which is that Menu Two still hasn't been worked on!

As I attempt to build Menu Two, I'm also having to tweak bits of Menu One so that everything flows well between the two.
