The classic explosive game of popping atoms is finally in the Shoebox!
You can Find Atoms in the Group Games section.

I was flicking through my Shoebox Todo-List, today, and stumbled upon Atoms.
I haven't attempted Atoms for a while, mostly because it requires me to draw all those Atoms!!

But, today I drew them, and the engine seems fairly capable.

I've gotten JMTracker up to a semi-working state, but still have to add test settings for things like Tempo and Instrument selection, as well as a proper Load requester.
But so far, so good, and it's a vaguely decent output.. I think!!
Although only a proper set of melodies and actual ingame usage will tell for sure..

Yesterday seemed to escape from me.

A nice big chunk of feedback from Alan this morning, on the new Crossword Game, so let's dig through his thoughts.
You can Play the Crossword Game in the Shoebox under Word Games.

Fun. I beat AL 356-147
Yeah, AL's not hard to beat, right now! I need to get him to plan out Premium Tiles a little better, to bulk up his scores a bit.

Me and Michael Fernie have been emailing back and forth, today, all about the recent Shoebox additions, and player feedback.
Lots of new games added to Shoebox. Very nice. Seems like you are getting a bunch of comments too. That is exciting because people are playing.
Indeed. Unlike my previous 400 games, these ones actually seem to be popular!!
I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing!

As the Shoebox grows, so the feedback flows!

Today I played Board of spikes and Ludo in android mobile. This is the first time I am playing shoebox of games in mobile and I found it to be a very good experience. Took a little bit of effort to place the ludo pieces initially but then it became easier.

I think my head wants to have a play with a "Normal" AGameAWeek game.

Yesterday I had submitted 2 comments on the blog with link to 2 pictures I had uploaded in socoder.
Hmm.. Well, I suppose that's probably my over-reactive Spam control in action, which perma-deletes anything that looks even slightly dodgy. (eg, URLs and things like that) I imagine that all the _'s and brackets in the text also probably added to the trigger-count, which would've ended up blocking your comment from even getting to the comment bin.
Sincere apologies ...

I'm now fairly happy with the way the generic board is scrolling and zooming on my iPhings, but the desktop version needs a lot more work.

Each week, a huge influx of emails and comments and thoughts flurry into view, as @RSKGames plays the game!
But RSK has competition, this week, as Spinal's joined in with some feedback, too!!

Didn't get an awful lot of coding done, yesterday.
My mind was unsure whether to make the Chess game into a puzzle or an action game, and it was as though that decision clogged up my mind to the point where I didn't actually do anything at all!!

At around 1am, I was starting to drift off to sleep, when suddenly..
"POUNCE!" A late night idea popped into mind.

I spent near enough all day, yesterday, fighting the fight with Emscripten.

As I plan out my methodology for making 3DS themes, I'm hitting somewhat of a brick wall.

After each game's release I receive an influx of feedback from all of the one person who played it.
Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of the bouncy pods!

Overview: I have not played any of the previous versions of the AGAW Centipong games but playing last years ''Rainbows Shooting from my Balls'' game I had an idea that it might be a very high paced experience. This Centipong game is a very intense fas...

Spent a long time today fighting over how the control should work for our little Ball player.

The enemies for this week's game are slightly different than I imagined, but they seem to be spawning and roaming about the level in a decent way.

We had family and friends over, this weekend, so I haven't had much time for coding. Even so, ideas have been bubbling away in my mind.

JNKPlat 2018

A new JNKPlat 2018 adventure is in the works.

Spent most of today trying to find the right feel for the controls.
I'm still not 100% happy with them.
Although they feel ok with the tapping of keyboard keys, they feel totally wrong when trying to play with a DPad, which is odd, because I tend to think of those two things as being very much the same thing.
Anyhoo, other than that, the game seems to be coming along nicely, although I've yet to add anything new into the mix.
I'm currently trying to think of interesting w...

This morning's a newsletter day, so that all needs doing first, but then I'll be heading into the game and trying to figure out exactly what style it's going to take.
I'm fairly sure I can get some kind of gameplay working for this week's game, but it'll be a case of finding the right balance between what the level generator can come up with, and the way the player controls.

I've now tried a multitude of different methods to get Audio working on my 3DS Homebrew Framework, but so far absolutely nothing seems to be working.

Action-Based Snake game seems to be the plan for this week.
It's mostly based on the abandoned Action part of the Biscuit game, but feels much better as a standalone game.

This week's game will probably be based on the Action-Snake thing I attempted to add on to the Biscuit game.
