I've not had an LG Cookie for a few months, and instead picked up an LG Viewty. The viewty's fine, no probs, but I met a few guys over at the MyLGCookie.com forum, and it was a nice experience, other than the hundreds of idiots there! Alas, today, inexplicably, the MyLGCookie.com forum is no more.

A few weeks ago, someone who obviously hadn't played Centipong enough to enjoy it, decided to complain away on the comments. Shitterwing's complaint was as follows Omfg! I'd rather play Pong against Tetris (untahris), than th1s th1ngy Now, I don't mind complaints, but there's two things wrong with that complaint. 1. But... Centipong kicks ass!!!! 2. Pong vs Tetris? WTF is that!?

Hello all, Welcome to year two! This year, I'll be keeping track of the weeks, and games, and things like that, so we can tally up as we go along. Week 1, Game 1, 1:1 ratio! Good stuff! This week's game isn't a game. It's more of a toy. If you've ever played Jam Sessions on the DS, you should know what to expect. And, yes, this is for RockBand/Guitar Hero guitars, so that'll probably rule a lot of you out. If it helps, I bought Rock Band for the X360, and it plugs right into windows without ne...

Uhoh, here we go again! To be honest, I really wanted some time off. I planned to make a nice lengthy game, take my time, and maybe even finish off Patent Wars a bit, but as is usually the case.. I've written a game. Well, it's not really a game, it's more of a toy. A play thing, if you will. That's ready for release tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm once again looking at all the various tools. I'm happy with Blitz3D, with my 2D-in-3D engine, but damn, the lack of mod is annoying. BlitzMax still has...

Microbes is (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/?p=203">here) : Capital letters don't work in the URL, but RetroGamer uses them anyway.. WebUser Magazine have a rather interesting idea. Each issue, they make a list of all the links included in that issue, and post it onto their forum. Lazy folk who can't be arsed to type can then go to that post on the forum and use that as they flick through the magazine. I honestly think it's a fantastic idea. Not only...

It's been a couple of weeks since I added the new Suggestion box, up there at the top right of the site. Let's take a peek at what ideas we've got.. Tuesday 28th of July 2009 08:10:03 PM Name : CodersRule Idea : make a shopping game! Not too sure about that one, CR. It'd probably end up as one of those "Thought it'd be good, turned out not to be" ideas. The Tamagotchi DS games spring to mind..

Nope, not yet. We'll call it "On Hiatus", whilst I decide what to do next. Meanwhile, I'm not sure whether to bother with Flash. Or at least, not Flex, anyway. 'cos BOY, that shit's messy! 6 includes to get a square flying around a screen?! No thanks!! hAxe is moderately better, but I'm still not 100% sure about it.

I'd like to start off Year 2 with abang. But this week has been entirely taken up with a multitude of other bits and pieces. I'm writing up a nice lengthy post (/set of posts, probably, 'cos it's a bit big!) about Year 1. I'll probably start to post those in a couple of days time. Probably Tuesday! But I need to get as much done as I can, first.. 'cos.. well, you know me, I'll probably forget halfway through!! So, there's that to do. And lots of it. If you're interested in the quicky version, you c...

Fill in name and suggestion, then blammo, gets sent to a huge file full of suggestions.

First things first, here's this week's AGameAWeek game. I've done a few dozen "Get the Greens" before, so I figured I'd keep this one short. Simply put, get the greens, and avoid the holes. No enemy this time, just you and the floor, so if you're nice and gentle you could probably get quite far through and score a decent score. As it stands, my highscore is currently 15 points. .. So, not a super-high-scoring game, but definitely one you could beat me at! Since I've made...

I started a game, today. It was going to be a nice maze thing, but.. Well, I attempted to do it in 3D, and as you're probably well aware, I can't really do things in 3D! It all went pair shaped! I might give it another go tomorrow, but in 2D instead! Or, I might try something else. Not sure. Either way, if I'm still aiming for a game this week, I really oughta get a whole game done tomorrow!! fingers crossed!

Nice and big, specifically in the title, so as not to get ANYONE excited! I will be VERY surprised if anyone gives a rats ass about this week's .. um.. "game".. but here it is anyway.

I can't believe I've still not finished this yet! Seems that, no matter how much work I do on this game, it's still not quite done. This week, I finally decided on the complete "Not Chance" and "Not Community Chest" card selection. 12 of each, ready and waiting in the engine. Next, I added all those lovely patents. They're all in there, each one displaying on a nice little card, along with the creator's name. I haven't yet gotten around to actually printing the bulk of ...

Aww. Didn't work. This week's Wednesday Workshop (#209) asked us to create a game with some kind of Gravity. If you've been following AGameAWeek for a while, you'll remember Puzzobomb. A nice puzzle game with Gravity. I also did MunkyBlocks as a kind of follow up. Well, this week I decided to try it again, but with rotational gravity, rather than plain gravity. As such, the block will fall in the direction they're placed. They ha...

Not much this week, or at least, not as good as Microbes anyway! I decided to redo Raining Bombs, from a few weeks ago. The last one was for my Cookie phone, (which has since become a Viewty phone) and this one's for Windows. It looks more dramatic than it is! Two turrets that shoot each other over and over again. If you blast your enemy beneath the bottom of the screen, you win a point, and then it all starts all over again. No intro, no music, not even a "BANG!", more a subtle silent...

A simple game, this week, but one that's already evolved quite a bit. As I mentioned the other day, I actually got this game done earlier on in the week, and it was quite a bit of fun even then. Since then, I've updated it a couple more times, and now it's even better than it was! woot!! The game is based on an Amiga game I once played many, many years ago. A simple design. You swirl around the outside of the arena, moving the mouse left and right. You fire with the Left Mouse But...

Yesterday turned out rather well. I actually coded a complete game, from start to finish, logo, audio, everything, yesterday. It's pretty good, and will be our AGameAWeek come Tuesday. (Because, if I posted it today, there'd be nothing to post on Tuesday!!) Look forward to more shootyshooty stuff!

Well, not all suck. Let's take a quick run through my week, shall we? Tuesday Posted last week's game, got prepared to work on PatentWars some more. Created a few nice looking player counters, got them moving around the board, all is well. <img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/counters.png"> Wednesday That little red counter looks really really neat. Attempted to mould it, somehow, into a Socoder logo. It worked! <img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/...

Last Wednesday I started a new project, it's since gotten out of hand and I need some ideas to help bring it all to a close. Let's start from the top. Over at the MyLGCookie forums, someone asked if there was a nice touchscreen Monopoly. As usual, Jay jumps in and says "Yeah, that'll be nice and easy" ... It's not! See, rather than getting my ass sued off, I decided to make it "But a bit different", and the idea I came up with was to use Patents. Instead of houses and hotels, you ...

At the start of this week, I completed a nice quick game of Atoms for my phone, so here's that.. It's a classic Amiga PD game from many many years ago. Tap to place an atom, place too many to explode them, capture all the tiles you can. Simple gameplay, but lots of fun! You can Download Atoms here For the rest of this week, I've been working on a mock board-game. Confined to the rules of board, it's been fun creating a game that could conceivably exist in the real world. Unf...
