A pretty much identical day!

Developments

I spent yesterday trying to balance this week's game.

Developments

As well as the current project, last night I decided to attempt a secondary project..

This game's at a crossroads.

Yesterday's doings : Additional work on this week's game, and a couple of bland looking info-pages..

James "Jayenkai" Gamble is a coder who likes to code! Having attempted and failed at both GCSE and ALevel computing, mostly due to becoming overwhelmingly bored at their idea of computing (Punched cards, Binary and How to Use a Wordprocessor!), I inevitably gave up on the idea of "computing" as a career. Coding is my hobby. I enjoy the freeform nature of my hobby, and will continue with it until I become bored with it! I create because I enjoy creating, and if anyone happens to enjoy the re...

Tools

This is a list of the tools that I use when creating AGameAWeek. Tool list last update : March 12th 2016 (If this is terribly outdated, <a href="https://twitter.com/Jayenkai">let me know</a>!!)

Coding

Currently I do all my coding using the <a href="https://Monkey-X.com">Monkey-X</a> language, from Blitz Research. The language is one that I'm incredibly familiar with, since I've tended to stick to the Blitz range of languages for well over a dec...

Spent most of yesterday catching up on sleep!! ZZZzzzz..

This week's game is starting to take shape.

Developments

I spent hours, yesterday, trying to get some gameplay from the engine I'd started over the weekend. Unfortunately, no game appeared..

I thought I had an idea for next week's game, but it all got fairly dull, alarmingly quickly!!

Fight for survival, as an onslaught of enemy Spikes dare to attack. How long can you last?

Hmmm.... :

I've already finished off the last few bits of this week's game, "Spikes Have Rage", and am now moving on to the next game..

Developments

Yesterday I drew a selection of backgrounds.. Only 4 of them, though. I'm no artist, and this is AGameAWeek!!

I think I've got a cold, or something, as I can't seem to think straight, this week!

Developments

I've made a start on next week's game, and I vaguely know where I'm heading, but right now it's all very much a bunch of temporary art!

Each month I receive the wonderful Arcade Block from (URL "https://NerdBlock.com">NerdBlock.com) When you initially sign up, you give them a T-Shirt size, and every month you get a lovely Arcade related TShirt, along with a box full of odd pieces of tat. Some of the tat is garbage, some of the tat looks nice on a shelf, and occasionally some of the tat is pure awesomeage!

Developments

Oh dear, this week's game still isn't 100% done!

An extremely fast paced Match-3 game, this week! Shuffle and Match, but be really quick doing it!!

This week's game gets an ALChoon!

Bonus tracks as well as the regular ALBum.. Hmmm...

This week's game might not be up to much!!
