Crikey, this ain't easy!

But AL's slowly getting "better", in a "Not exactly more intelligent, but at least not murdering my fan!" sort of way.
I need to get him to play with his letters a little better, though. He currently plonks tiny little 2-letter words down, when his rack has a really obvious word in it.

.. But.. Yeah, getting there!!

AL's getting slightly better, but is currently only attempting about 2 word placements per frame.

I've just had a fairly decent game against AL.
His AI's not quite up to much, but he is at least managing to play along.

Attempt number one hasn't gone particularly well.
The game struggles to keep up with itself, and my laptop's fan kicks into overdrive, while the game just about manages to find the word "AA" in amongst all the possibilities!

You know when you spend hours working on something, then look back at what you've done, and go "What on earth did I actually do?"
.. I did that, yesterday!

Crikey! This game's harder to code than I remembered.

A couple of days ago, cooolgamer uploaded a bunch more levels for JNKPlat.



There are (IIRC) 6 new packs of levels, so oodles to play through. Hopefully there's nothing "too" hard, but unfortunately I haven't actually had any time to even play the things yet. AGameAWeek is relentless

You can either download them in-game, or head over to The Level Archive to download the level file yourself.

Board Layouts.. Not easy!



But the main ones are in, now. Regular Scrabble, Super Scrabble, Words With Friends, and there's also the option for random layouts, so that's nice!!

More to come..

I think it's probably about time that I get "Generic unbranded crossword game" into the Shoebox..

Me and Michael Fernie have been emailing back and forth, today, all about the recent Shoebox additions, and player feedback.



Indeed. Unlike my previous 400 games, these ones actually seem to be popular!!
I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing!

Golf Solitaire isn't nearly as bad as Beleaguered Castle Solitaire!



You can Play Golf Solitaire here in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

I spent a good number of hours, yesterday, looking online for any rulesets that might make "Beleaguered Castle Solitaire" any better, but failed miserably to find anything.
I did find a number of alternative solitaires that claimed to make the game a little harder, though, so.. Um.. Yeah, ok!!

Oh dear, this game's hard!



You can attempt to play Beleaguered Castle Solitaire in the Shoebox in amongst the card games.

Yeah, that did the trick..
The Shoebox now clutters your browser history! I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to remove the hundreds of references that are built up as you navigate through the games, but .. For now, at least, the Back Button on Android should now behave as you'd expect it to.

Hurray!

I can't fathom this stuff out!

As the Shoebox continues to build, more and more and more comments are incoming! I've literally had more comments to the blog in the past couple of months than I have in the past decade!!

So, the Shoebox now has Level capabilities.. That's nice!
I'm tempted to add something like Quadoban, or maybe a Kee-Bo-Ard, but that would definitely be crossing the border between physical and arcade.. I might need to come up with some way to mesh the styles together, somehow, and create a brand new sort of game.
Hmm..

A fairly large update, this morning, as I'm fairly confident that the caching is now working like it oughta.
