🐄⛏️ - 01 - A Cow and a Pickaxe? Blog
1st February 2025
Welcome to February, and this month is apparently about Cows and Pickaxes.

-=-=-

The actual words that I've been given are Bovine and "Miner, Mining, Drill, Drilling".
So far, I've got the "Foldapuz games are so quick to make!" Foldapuz game ready to go. Just waiting for Monday to release it.
So what do I do for Browsercade/JSE and Shoebox?

I have one little idea in mind that feels like it's an arcadey game, so should fit Browsercade/JSE, but in my head it's like it wants to be a Shoebox game.
I'm not sure what to make of that. I don't think I've had this conflict as much in the past. Usually it's fairly obvious which of the two (Arcadey or BoardGamey) I should go for, but this one...
Perhaps because it feels fast-paced, it seems like more of an Arcade game. Shoebox doesn't really do action all that well!!

Maybe I should try to come up with a few more ideas, and pop the current idea into whichever slot isn't used up!!

Meanwhile...





Over on GotoJSE, I finally got the PlayMP3() and Sound() functionality added to the Download HTML5 Project .zip downloader thing.
You can now make a game, use the PlayMP3 (or SetHandlerMP3) function to get some nice background music from my Music archive, and then download the project with the mp3's included as part of the project.
Once that's happened, you might even want to replace those mp3s with your own music, (though, keep the filenames!) giving you much more control over the music that plays in your own games.

Similarly, the newer Sound commands are all part and parcel of the download, so that should work just fine, now, too. Woohoo. A whole new world of sound for JSE games!
Exciting!

.. Though I still haven't written up the new commands in the Command List Help file yet!.. I'll get around to that, eventually.

If you do download a project, you can easily upload it to any half-decent site that allows HTML5 game uploads, itch.io and GameJolt being the obvious choices.
Direct them to the index.html, and the games should work just fine.
Please do let me know if they don't!

Which reminds me... I still haven't integrated it all into Browsercade, yet, have I..
I really do need to get around to that.
