Game number three in the Browsercade sees Platdude running through the endless forest, smashing balls at the enemy creatures within.

You can Play Endless Forest in the Browsercade.

On my desktop sits a sticky note with the words "The Menu is Broken"

I've started on a remake of Endless Forest for this week's Browsercade game.

I'm hoping to try to add some sort of extra elements into play, but right now I'm at a loss as to what those might be.

A nice and gentle game of MiniGolf. Putt your way around, and aim for the hole.
Bonus points can be gained, but watch out for the water!

You can Play MiniGolf in the Misc area of the Shoebox.

If you refreshed Shoebox, yesterday, you'll have been able to play MiniGolf, but I didn't officially release it.

The Minigolf game's quite fun to play, so far, and today I'm going to try to add a couple more obstacles.
I'm thinking a giant spinning stick that thwacks the ball if it's within the radius, and maybe adding some directional floor tiles that act a little like slopes.

Keep the Microbes at bay with your big giant ray!

Spin yourself around the arena, and shoot for survival.
Don't let any of the Microbes get beyond the outer reaches of the arena.

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...

Blog, Socoder Newsletter, ALChoon, and then I'll get back to the coding.

The Microbes game is coming along nicely for Petit Switch, and I *think* I'm making a Minigolf for Shoebox, but that all depends on how well the controls work.

Try to find a word, or multiple words, which fit inside the provided space.

You can Play a sheet of Triplet here or alternatively Play the game in your browser/mobile/tablet here

One of the hardest things, moving ahead, is going to be coming up with all the ideas for all the different sets of games that I'm making.

Currently the Petit Switch and Browsercade games are simple rewrites of older games, but at some point I'm definitely going to have to make a few new ones.

The clusters return, in this fun little puzzle game.

Grab a hex from the floor, and jump it up towards the giant stream of falling clusters.
The larger the cluster, the more points you'll earn.

But don't let the clusters reach the floor!

You can Play Clusters of Hex in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

There's a couple of little quirks I need to fix, but I should soon be uploading Clusters of Hex.

...alright!!

A little shadow added to the back buffer, and everything scaled so that the gameplay fits within the alcove.

Read More

Right then. Today I need to make a start on reconstructing Clusters of Hex again.
I'll be getting it up and running on Browsercade, so everything has to be converted over to Javascript.

It shouldn't be "too" hard, as I have practically only just done this in SmileBASIC, but I expect I'm not sure how well the resolution/ratio issues might confound the task.

Crikey, this took some doing!

It's Checkers!
It's not a hard game, and AL's a bit daft (as per usual) but it's Checkers!
Jump over your opponent's pieces, diagonally, until there's nothing left but your own.

You can Play Checkers in the One on One area of the Shoebox

I've been struggling with Checkers for the past couple of days, and I'm not sure what the problem is!

You recently complained about all your old photos not working when clicked on, but I've noticed that all the photos are still available, just the links are broke.

You and/or your Wordpress Crew needs to dig through the database and fix a teensy tiny issue.

It seems that when you moved from Blogger to Wordpress, Wordpress didn't correctly relocate all the links.
So, for example the following image
https://i0.wp.com/bp1.blogger.com/_bu0vVgPPyEs/RZc2JLm88ZI/AAAAAAAAAw4/hTxKmSx9SQc/s1600-h/DSC01086.JPG doesn't work.
Note the i0.wp.com bit in the URL.

If you delete the i0.wp.com bit, and leave it as
https://bp1.blogger.com/_bu0vVgPPyEs/RZc2JLm88ZI/AAAAAAAAAw4/hTxKmSx9SQc/s1600-h/DSC01086.JPG
then the photo works fine. (Apparently Blogger's kept your photos all this time!!)

You'll need to scan the database and, either remove the wp.com bit, or add in the https:// bit so the wp.com doesn't get auto-added, depending on how it's stored in the database.

Good Luck!!

(I left all this as a comment on your site, but I think the comment got auto-marked-as-spam due to me including two similar looking urls!!)

Note : this doesn't work for "newer" old images. Just the Blogger ones.
Not sure where Wordpress/whatever was storing things once you moved to your own domain!

Oh dear.
Seems like releasing the Browsercade has kickstarted the regular avalanche of crazy ideas!
