Stupid iOS!
"Alert" says the debugger in XCode.
And that's all.
Quite what that means, I've no idea. Could literally be anything.

AHA!!!
.. Can't show you any of the results, yet, though, as the entire framework's graphical stuff is currently all commented out, until I convert everything from GLFW to GLES.
But that's a VERY important step in getting the thing up and running on iOS.
Previous attempts have spewed out thousands of Linker errors, but now I'm fairly confident that I vaguely might maybe know, roughly, what I might have been possibly doing wrong!!

Plenty of stuff got done, yesterday.

World 2 will be a bit leafy.

I've spent far too long, this week, trying to get Android and iOS Framework support up and running, but am going to have to leave it for the next few days.

I spent a bit of time looking into Pico-8, yesterday, (Spurred on by SkyBerron posting this teeny weeny version of SpikeDislike) but it's a wildly different language than I'm used to.
Lots of little bytesized bits of code, and a methodology that I'm just not used to.
I'm sure that, with a little more poking and prodding, I might learn to code well in the language, but for now I think I'd much rather be sticking with my new C++ Framework.
But the bug is already starting ...

Over on the Lexaloffle forums (!?), SkyBerron has done an even smaller version of SpikeDislike than my CPC 10-Liner version, from the other day.
Managing to cram all the playability into just 278 characters, the game's missing even more of the combo system than my 10 liner edition.
It's not easy, adding combos, when the code is that cramped!
Head on over, give it a play, and be sure to give it a like whilst you're there.

Seriously, though, why is this so bloomin' complicated!?

Yesterday was supposed to be a day full of Mobile-Dev, but instead, I simply spent the day relaxing, and playing an alarming amount of Flappadiddle!

Yeay!
Thanks to all for testing.
Rychan - I see the hitbox detection has been improved somewhat also which is cool
A little more forgiving, this time. The original game was a little "too" mean when it came to bird vs flame hits!

In a reply to yesterday's Ideas post, Michael Adcock (@adcockm) suggested I look into Pico-8 development.
He then (via Twitter) brought up the fact that I couldn't do it with my new C++ framework, so the idea of attempting it is a little less appealing.

If you haven't yet tried out Flappadiddle-Doo's first release, please give it a try, and let me know how well it does or doesn't work on your given system.
Thanks for trying.

First test!

We'll call this the proto-test, since I'm still not 100% sure things are going to run AT ALL, let alone well!!

This Tuesday we're kicking things off slowly.
Each Tuesday through February, I'll be adding to Flappadiddle-Doo, to bulk it up beyond the original concept, and fixing up any quirks in my new Framework along the way.
But once we hit March, I'll be heading into the regularly unplanned insanity of AGameAWeek.

I can't remember the last time I added an icon to a Windows game!
.. I'm not even sure if I ever did...!

Oh, the joys of having the ability to generate your background from tiles

I had to rejig a small amount of the framework, yesterday, to allow me to access the controller's thumbsticks separately from the d-pad.

Finally got the Bonus Eggs working the way they should.
You can now collect them, flap around with them, and earn extra points by having them with you.
Next up is adding Flame Bars back into the mix, to make the levels a little more difficult to navigate around.

Scoring's been added to Flappadiddle-Doo, and the new bonus mechanic is integrated to the scoring, but isn't yet added to the gameplay.

Continuing my trek through the Blog, (fixing old broken links, adding references to associated games, etc) I'm now up to page... 150! Out of 5000+
As an example of how the Wiki will be grown, the Wiki page for Alien Deathmatch 2 is now nice and populated with just links to various blog posts.
I'll also need to add in elements that are on the game's release page, but AD2's actually surprisingly sparse, as far as that goes.
Once I've sifted through all the pages, adding ...

I think I've got everything ready.
Or at least, all the important bits.

The Enter Your Name screen is now back in the framework, and works pretty much the same as it did before.

I started work on the "Enter Your Name" screen, yesterday, but ended up doing something vaguely, but not entirely related!

Yesterday ended up being much more productive than I intended it to be.
With the Linux re-installation, the CPC coding and the ALChoon, I managed to get a fair amount of stuff done.

Over on Twitter, earlier, @Magic_bane suggested that I should enter this competition.

Hello.
Welcome to a test!
You can Download Linux Test 2 here
Please note : This isn't a game, it's just a test!

So, yesterday didn't go as planned.
