An Early/Late blog, tonight.

A fair amount of icon drawing, today, as I tried my best to come up with some kind of over-arching style for the many different game icons.

I'm not sure it's been that much of a success, if I'm honest, but at least I tried.

I tried about 3 or 4 different icon styles, last night, but can't quite find one to fit.

Oh dear.. This is the bit I'm rubbish at!!

I've spent a good couple of hours shuffling the script around a bit.
Probably should've used includes from the start of this project, but.. Too lazy to do that kinda thing!

The whole site is now split up into individual game scripts, so that the main script is a little more manageable in future.

I've also neatened up the style of the Cross Target game using a bit of grey, as well as taking the time to rewrite a lot of the site's Text functions to allow for more colour and size changes in future!

An awful lot of tweaking, this morning.

Additionally, I refurbished the main page a bit. Need icons for Instructions and Play Online, but otherwise it's a better layout than it was. I think!

Without using the word "Scrabble", how would you describe today's new Foldapuz puzzle?

Added Cross Target

Spent ages trying to find the best way to represent a Scrabble-Style board using only black ink! I should probably redo bits of it with grey, I think.. Hmm..

Anyway, it's a simple enough concept. You have a rack of tiles, and a specific target to hit. Try to score exactly that many points.

I've spent most of the past week building up a collection of little bits and pieces.

As I struggle to decide on what to do about a Xmas launch, I'm jumping about from unfinished projects, half started ones, and then things like Foldapuz which will never be complete, as it's just another great big pile of games!

More work on Foldapuz, yesterday, as I did a whole lot more minor tweaks.

A whole lot of tweaks to Unfolded, to make it all a little more stable. Just minor background things, nothing too notable, but enough to keep things working!!

I've also rewritten the way the Alternating Maze is generated, and it now ends up taking about s full second to generate each puzzle. Eeek! Still, with the recent puzzle-cache functionality, that should be a little bit easier on the server.

The Alternating Maze mazes should now be a little more difficult to solve, with the paths hopefully being better than just a single straight line going down the page!

Thanks to user "Bangers" (Who is apparently also called Steve) there's a couple of new level packs to be played through, although.. Sweet lord are they the hard variety!!!

Update : Steve got the pack name and author name mixed up!



The two packs join the other 6 level packs previously created by me and @RSKGames, in the online level select.

You can Download JNKPlat 2018 here for Windows, Linux and 3DS Homebrew.

If you're playing on 3DS Homebrew, head to the Level Database, grab the Level File, and pop it into the agawsave folder on your 3DS's SD card.

The majority of the important bits of Foldapuz-Unfolded are now in place, and it's all now nicely playable.

Over at Socoder, it's been decided that this year's Advent thing should be a creative one.
Each day over Advent, users will be attempting to post fresh, new content, every day.

Further tweaks to the Unfolded part of the site.
Things seem to be fairly functional now, and I took the time to jiggle the menu about a bit to make it more like the main page's layout.

I'll have to remember to keep both list of games the same, in the future, though, and will also need to keep the little icons updated, too.

*sigh* So much to keep track of.

This whole thing's started to get a little large!

Last night I learned a lesson in spending.

For the past week or so, I've been gradually putting together a "On your mobile's browser" edition of Foldapuz.
Although there are still a few tweaks to be made to get things "just right", the site now appears to be functional enough to be tested.

If you'd like to test it, head to Unfolded, where you can hopefully figure most things out. (Assuming it works, in the first place!)

On the top right are page selection, alongside a puzzle selection.
The rest of the tools should be self explanatory, although you may need to click around to figure everything out.
Expect plenty of tweaks in the days to come.

For the majority of cases, you'll probably find it works best on a touchscreen device, in portrait mode. But your mileage may vary.

Be sure to let me know how you get on.

Thanks!

At first, I thought this was simply an issue with my code, so I hunted online for a basic doodle-app, and found this page.
It appears that the issue is, at the very least, not my wrongdoing!

Basically, you plop your finger down, and roll it around a bit.
On iOS, this results in a circle being drawn on the screen, whilst on all three of my touchscreen-enabled Android test devices, it instead results only in the initial placement of the finger. The radius of the touch is seemingly blocking Javascript's "touchmove" from registering, until the touch is outside of the initial zone of the touch.
It's only when you do a BIG roll, that the touch registers as movement, and then it happily plays along.

.. This is, obviously, causing problems with my little Foldapuz doodle app.

If you'd like to try the above test on your own devices, be sure to let me know how you get on, and whether this is just a case of me only having cheap-ass Android test devices, or whether it's an Android-wide issue.

Also, if you know of any Javascript/css based ways that I can switch that off, that'll be great.
Thanks!

Yesterday's task was to wake up early, prepare myself to manage the walk to the local Doctor's GP and back.
