A decade is over, and what have I done?
373 games, created a new blogging script for here, rewritten the Socoder forum, started a few new sites and more!
Oh, and a brain tumour!
It's been a wild and crazy decade, and over the next few days I'll be looking back at the best (and worst) games from the decade.

Platdude returns to his favourite swamp, for a little golfing.
If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

I went golfing, last night!

Each week, oodles of feedback floods my inbox. Thank you to everyone who sends their thoughts/comments on all the wonderful games I've been making so far, this year.
This week, RSKGames has thoughts on the latest Shoebox game, Homepath.
You can Play Homepath in the Shoebox on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

RSKGames returns with his thoughts on recent games.
You can Play Shoebox of Games here, which are all Mouse/Touch controlled games, which run 100% in the browser.
Or you can Play Browsercade here, which are all Keyboard/Gamepad controlled games, for a more Arcade-like experience, but which also run in your browser.

A nice and gentle game of MiniGolf. Putt your way around, and aim for the hole.
Bonus points can be gained, but watch out for the water!
You can Play MiniGolf in the Misc area of the Shoebox.

If you refreshed Shoebox, yesterday, you'll have been able to play MiniGolf, but I didn't officially release it.

The Minigolf game's quite fun to play, so far, and today I'm going to try to add a couple more obstacles.
I'm thinking a giant spinning stick that thwacks the ball if it's within the radius, and maybe adding some directional floor tiles that act a little like slopes.

Blog, Socoder Newsletter, ALChoon, and then I'll get back to the coding.
..
Maybe..

The Microbes game is coming along nicely for Petit Switch, and I *think* I'm making a Minigolf for Shoebox, but that all depends on how well the controls work.

A simple crossword clone, with a slightly different scoring mechanism.
You can Play Crossword Golf in the Shoebox, next to the standard Crosswords game, in the Word games!

Alan Suggests..

While I'm thinking about it, one nice-to-have feature for Crossword Game would be ''shuffle my rack''.
Sure, ok, why not!

When I was playing Golf Solitaire in my android chrome browser found an odd issue where the drag and drop card gets placed in the top left of the screen as seen in the attached screenshot.

Golf Solitaire isn't nearly as bad as Beleaguered Castle Solitaire!

You can Play Golf Solitaire here in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

I spent a good number of hours, yesterday, looking online for any rulesets that might make "Beleaguered Castle Solitaire" any better, but failed miserably to find anything.
I did find a number of alternative solitaires that claimed to make the game a little harder, though, so.. Um.. Yeah, ok!!

During the course of making Shoebox of Games, I'm sure there'll be plenty of feedback.
If you want to get a mention, you can send feedback either in the comments, via Twitter, via email, or any other method you can think of that includes me receiving the feedback!

Happy Birthday, Me!
And, as is tradition for my birthday, I've set made an iOS game (or two.. or three.. or four... or five...) free for the next few days.
From Feb 23rd until Feb 27th 2019, the following iOS games are available for 100% free.

I suppose I could do a racer, this week..?

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.

AntyApps.pl have posted a review for Thwackity Puttz on iOS.
Thwackity Puttz gets the award for "First of the new-age of AGameAWeek-iOS games to have been reviewed."
(I'll have to come up with a shorter title for that award!)
