(Amazing Behind-The-Scenes Peek!! : I use the playback of the screen capture, when taking these photos, and forgot to disable the bottom bar!!)


Guide Platdude to the exit, whilst collecting as many blue spheres as he can from within the giant slot-machine!

5th September 2006, I started writing the SoCoder forum..
13 years and a complete rewrite later, the site's still clinging onto its 1990's stylings, and is happy to be that way.

Happy Birthday, SoCoder!

Need some rocks and circuit boards?
Look no further than the latest JNKsg Generators.


Rocks are kinda lumpy, but definitely aren't the best looking rocks in the universe.


Circuit Boards are a little slow. I really need to figure out a quick and easy way to optimise those.

Honestly, not the best update to the JNKsg site.
Bah, humbug!

Much the same as yesterday.
A bit of Plat in a Spin, and a bit of Pool.
Hopefully I can get these two done in time for their scheduled releases.
I'm still not 100% sure I can do Pool in just a few days, but since I have nothing else planned, I guess I'll be doing that!!

Use your best maths skills to combine the four grey/white numbers, to reach each of the 12 values shown in the Bingo Card.
Give yourself bonus points if you use all four numbers in every sum!

It's all well and good ploughing ahead with a Shoebox game for the week, but I can't leave out Petit Switch!
So, what will the Petit game be?!

Read More

I really really doubt this is going to be playable by Saturday!
There's a lot that isn't working, right now.. Basically, it can draw it, but it sure as hell can't play it!!

Today I did something that might very well break the Shoebox.

I've changed from having individual .js files for each game, to having a combined comb.js file that holds all of the games.

Hopefully, if your game breaks, a simple refresh of the page should reload the cache, and bump everything back to the way that it should be.

If it gets completely stuck, let me know, as well as what device/browser you're using, and I'll do my best to fix it.

Forcing a iOS "HomeScreen App" Cache Refresh
(Just in case it gets stuck!)

1. Open the App
2. Hold the Power button for about 5 seconds, until the "Power Off" display shows up. Do not power off!
3. Instead, hold the Home button for about 5 seconds, until the app suddenly closes and takes you back to the home screen.
4. Restart the app.

Yesterday was such a busy day that I got the entire Browsercade game started, finished and uploaded, all within the space of about 7 or 8 hours.

It's time to harvest the Starfuit. Platdude straps himself to a rocket, and aims to grab as many of the fruit as he can.

You can Play Starfruit Harvest in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Exhausted from a week making five (FIVE!) games, it seems my head decided to take a bit of a rest, yesterday.
As such, I've no plans for Monday's Browsercade games.
Nothing.
Zip..
Zero!!

So, either today I manage to make a half-decent browsercade game within a stupidly small amount of time, or I can stop worrying about such things, and simply take it easy, this week.

....

Find out which I decide to go for, later!

A classic solitaire, this week.
Combine cards which add up to 13, in order to remove them from the pyramid.
Can you clear the pyramid?!

You can Play Pyramid Solitaire in the Shoebox, in the Card Games section.

Today's plan

I need to stress test Pyramid Solitaire, and then I'll post that later.
I also need to really think about Monday's Browsercade game.
And I also need to see if I can find any kind of download stats for the Fuze basic SpikeDislike. .. I'm not sure it's got anything like that, though.

Not much more to say, really!
Carry on Coding!

Mostly complaints..


View on YouTube

Fuze "tries" to be two things at once.
Both a classic BASIC, and a more modern "Not BASIC", and when those two things clash, you either get a great language like BlitzMax, or you get ..

Well, Fuze..

Petit Clampett's level generator seems to be working fairly well, but the game has the same "Too much vertical movement" issue as Micro Clampett did.
I'm going to have to try figuring that out, today, without resorting to zooming the camera out.
Hmmm..

A busy day is planned for today.
I'm going to try to finish off as much of this week's Shoebox and Petit Switch games as I can, leaving me with tomorrow free to do Newsletter and ALChoon duties, and then a gap on Friday..

Connect all the islands using only horizontal and vertical bridges.
The numbers on the islands tell you how many bridges that island has.

Without crossing any bridges over each other, try to fill them all in.

You can Print Sheets of Bridges here, or Play the game in your browser, here.

It's getting a bit awkward on a Monday..
