Blandness has enveloped much of the site!
The complete Shoebox and Foldapuz collection are now added to the Archive, and that's how things are going to look, moving ahead.

In the coming weeks (hopefully!!) I'll be starting to add Browsercade games into the mix, too, so things should begin to get a bit more interesting to look at, but as I transition from making downloads to generating everything via Javascript, there's always going to be that bit where things get a bit .. .. Boring and web-looking!

My target for the first few Browsercade games will, then, be to try and make things as interesting to look at as I can, so that the icons and the screenshots, and even the Youtube clips, begin to look a bit more varied.

I'm now finding myself wondering if I should add the Petit Switch games into the archive, too..
Hmm..

Today's task is the same as the one long endless task that I did yesterday.
Yesterday was Foldapuz, today will be Shoebox.
Taking the screenshots, doing the logos and icons, uploading to the server, adding links, and hacking the database to change the date on the games.

Shouldn't take ALL DAY like it did yesterday, though, as I'm fairly sure I know what I'm doing.. .. Maybe!!

*ugh*

You might've noticed the top-bar of Recent Games is currently (slowly!) changing.

I've decided it's probably a good idea to start adding Foldapuz and Shoebox games in, with the intention of further adding Browsercade games to the archive once that's up and running.

Blackjack, Pontoon, 21. Call it what you will.
The aim is to reach as close as you can to 21, without going over.
Once you're done, AL will have a try, and whoever gets closest is the winner.

The first to reach three wins is declared the overall winner of the game.

You can Play Blackjack in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

Started to make some progress with Touchscreen Controls, for Browsercade, today.
The hard part was getting this button to work..

Sifting through my giant todo list, I came across "Try out Electron", so I've done that, this morning..

After about half an hour of waiting for various things to install, and then running them, the result was actually really quite nice and fluid, and looked good.
I ran the electron-packer, and .. crikey, that takes a while, doesn't it..
Eventually, I ended up with what can only be described as "A folder", in which there were several million files all scrawled all over the place, including several .dll files.
I'm not sure exactly which of those are needed, but I tried running the exe in it's own directory and ERROR!!, so I guess everything, then..

In all, the download for Browsercade, as it currently is, will be 64.2Mb.

To put that into perspective, Browsercade is currently 1.03Mb
.. So.. Um..
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be using that!!

I honestly can't fathom why Firefox's cache isn't doing what it's supposed to.

This week, NeonPlat makes its way to the Switch!
Throw your balls at the bats, and colour all of the plats!

If you've a Switch, and have downloaded PetitCom4 from the (Currently) Japan-Only eShop (vague instructions here), you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

It's the little things..

Like how the game isn't saving highscores, and the onscreen scores aren't quite readable enough, and the music doesn't end during the game-over screen, and ..
The little things..

Still haven't actually coded the game, yet, either! This is all Framework stuff.

Of course.. There's still one big issue to tackle..

Oh, how I miss the OUYA.

Thought..
"Why is Browsercade not working in Firefox?"

Further Thought..
"It SHOULD work.. Shoebox works, and it's practically the same script.."

Further thought..
"Uhoh..!!"

I think, today, I'm going to focus on getting the final Framework touches of Browsercade done.

Step One will be working out how plausible buffer-drawing is, whilst in a html canvas.

Step one, design (and/or copy+paste from previous editions!) a logo and icon for the game.

Step two, start writing game.

Step three, realise I'm a long way from being ready to start writing the game!!

The traditional Word Wheel.
Try to find as many anagrams as you can, ensuring that each word contains the central letter.

There's one complete word in the wheel.
Can you find it?

You can Try out Word Wheel here or wait for it to show up in regular Foldapuz selections.

I was almost certain I was near the end of the Browsercade Framework, but .. Nope.. There are still things to do!

As each game is released, players like RSKGames and send oodles of feedback for about the game.

Let's see how they all thought about Dots and Squares!

You can Play Dots and Squares in the Shoebox in the One on One section.

@RSKGames

Playing in the mobile, I find that sometimes I connect the wrong dots but in PC with mouse it works fine.

I managed to rewrite most of my little PetitSwitch Sprite Editor, yesterday, but there's still a few missing features that need reintegrated. Though, if I'm honest, I never actually used those features.. So I might be lazy and say "Job Done"!
