This probably isn't interesting at all, and I'm quite a bit annoyed that this has taken up a whole big chunk of my day, but here's a clip of the menu I made, today!

I've mentioned, previously, how I'm going to attempt to make a 4-game template system.
A couple of days ago, I started a neat little menu, but.. it really wasn't up to much.
Today, I restarted said little menu, and it's turned out quite a bit nicer.

What could possibly go wrong!?!?

Not really sure when this started, probably the day I decided to stop doing AGameADay, but I now appear to be daily-blogging twice a day.
eek!

Rant Ahoy!!!

The plan
1. Do 3 quick pieces of music.
2. Finish off the 50-level version of Sheep DS.
3. Check it.
4. Be a lazy goit.

Happy sheepy updates for everyone!!! (Except the PC edition... not really sure what I'm doing with that one!)

..wait a minute, wasn't I trying to take a break!?

Alright, time to start on the next iOS project.

Over the past year I've started around about 500,000 iOS games, and released 6.
You're probably wondering WTF happened to the rest of 'em.

You could say I crapped out, and gave up.
I aimed for 52. I aimed for a 2nd whole year's worth of games, within a startlingly short amount of time.

..
But I probably would've managed it..

February.
The iOS edition of SpikeDislike was kicking arse, the WiLMa edition was doing well, and the PlayMyCode edition was being played quite a bit, too.
What else could SpikeDislike be ported to?!

Yeay! More Sheep!

I need to make a feckin' level editor for the DS Sheep Goes Left game, and then rebuild all the levels, all over again.
Baa!!!

Too tired..
Instead, I've been working on Sheep Goes Left DS, which is proving 17,000,000,000% more popular than it's iOS rival.
Quite why, I don't know, but the fact that it's being mentioned quite a bit is a good sign.

Aaah, there we go.. Back to normal!

A nice little missile command game, that really kicks your arse!!

PlayMyCode games no longer work

How the hell did I ever manage to get so much done over the past two weeks?!!

.. oh yeah, I wasn't half-asleep..

I was up stupidly late last night.
I wasn't coding.
I wasn't listening to music.
and I wasn't watching TV either.

I tried, today, but I just wasn't quite into it once the game started to build up.

Today's unfinished game, Unknown.....!

PlayMyCode games no longer work

The game didn't ever really have a heart. It started well, but it just kinda puttered out after just an hour or two.
The game remains unfinished, expecting some sort magical experience, but never really happening.

I was thinking Mines/Bombs, but that might be just because I keep playing DaisyChains!
I also considered WASD/Mouse shootyness, but that didn't really happen either.
..
Not sure where this was going at all..

Sucky none-game.. Skipped a day again..

I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better.

-=-=-
Meanwhile, I spent an hour or two using Spinal's colour stripper, to convert the Sheep Goes Left backgrounds to nice DS colourschemes, so things look nice and dithered instead of odd coloured splodgy blobs..

Much better!
-=-=-

um.. then I sat and played SpikeDislike and got a slightly higher (Easy/Slow) score on the board.
I'm now only 23rd on my own game's leaderboard. o/wooto/
Where are you!?!

Over the years, I've settled into somewhat of a set of "Bad" habits.
I clump everything into unnamed arrays, with unnamed numerical references for everything.
I reuse arrays for anything from enemy locations, collectables, particles and anything else.
If you open up my PlayMyCode games (click the edit button!) you'll see my habits.
They're everywhere, and they "EVIL!!!"

I am an oldskool coder.
This is how I code..
