Gotta make a start on a Foldapuz game, today, but I'm at a loss as to what that might be.
Currently thinking a cluster sort of thing, filling in the grid with letters to make groups of maybe 4 or 5 tile chunks.
I think that'd word, but it feels like it might end up being too much like Rebordered.

Let's code a really simple Tennis/Ping Pong game, shall we?

You can find it in the Nintendo Switch eShop, (once your country's timezone hits the sweet spot!) and begin your creation adventure.

The date's been set, and it's NEXT WEEK!! Wowies!
PetitCom 4/SmileBASIC 4/Petit Switch, call it what you will, the language will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop next Thursday, 23rd April 2020.

Seems like the crazy shopping sprees are starting to die off a bit, and the online services are starting to cope a little better.

If you're a fan of Classic SpikeDislike, and miss those things that fly across the screen with the number of points you just earned, you'll be happy to know I've added them into SpikeDislike.com!
I've not yet added a menu option to turn them off again, though, so you'll just have to put up with them for the next day or so, depending on when I get around to doing that.

You might've noticed an alarming number of "Top 10" posts, yesterday!
Ideally I should've started doing that about a week or two ago, to get all 10 posted by New Year, but..
Meh, whatever!
If you've not been voting in the polls, please do, as I'll be gathering up the winners of all 10 polls to make a topper-top-10 list at the end of all this.

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.

I finished off WestWords last night, so that's ready for release on our regular Shoebox Saturday slot.
Today, I'm heading back into Super Secret Side Project to see if I can get the file tweaking to work without resulting in file breaking!

Alexandra's found herself in amongst a very generic looking platform level.
Help her reach the other side.
You can Play Alexandra Muffin in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

(Amazing Behind-The-Scenes Peek!! : I use the playback of the screen capture, when taking these photos, and forgot to disable the bottom bar!!)

Guide Platdude to the exit, whilst collecting as many blue spheres as he can from within the giant slot-machine!
If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

It's all well and good ploughing ahead with a Shoebox game for the week, but I can't leave out Petit Switch!
So, what will the Petit game be?!

Spent a few hours, yesterday, getting a very basic looking car to drive around a very basic looking grassland. (and/or, blue space with stars in it, acting like a flat driveable area!)

WAAARRRNIIIIIIING
If you set up a Japanese account to download Petit Switch, be absolutely sure that you continue to use the Japanese account when coding your game.
DON'T do what I did, and go "Well, it works in my Jayenkai account.. I'll carry on with that"
Because, when you go to upload your finished game, you hit a great big wall..

Today marks the initial Japanese release of Petit Computer for Switch (PetC4) and .. well, I'm a coding addict, so you know I HAVE to at least get SpikeDislike up and running.
There's a few stumbling blocks.. well, one, really, and that is that I don't know any Japanese whatsoever.
If you'd like to download my various PetitSwitch games, head to this page for the codes

Today I need to get a new scoreboard working in the Shoebox.

You know when you're at the end of the day, and do backups and things, and forget that you weren't quite yet finished doing the Player Selection Screen, but it accidentally gets uploaded anyway...?
That!

I did a few tweaks to the framework, yesterday.
There's now a mute button in the pause/escape menu, which works.. (For a few hours, it was there, but did absolutely nothing!!)

With extreme apologies, I've just deleted everyone's highscores in Shoebox! (Don't lynch me!!)

After each release, an influx of a comment bombards the pages of the site, and we get to see what people thought of the game.
This week, RSKGames has decided to chip in, with thoughts of the gravity based, planet blasting game, Orbital Annihilation.
You can play Orbital Annihilation here.

In Orbital Annihilation the player has to wait till the planets are aligned at the right positions in the orbits to fire and destroy the selected planet. Takes a bit of patience a...

Each time I release a game, an huge influx of feedback comes my way from all over the web!
Let's see what people thought of JNKPlat 2018!
You can Download JNKPlat2018 Beta here.

@RSKGames

Carrying on through my current flu symptoms, and I managed to get the last remaining "classic" tiles working in JNKPlat.
Those lovely exploding tiles, and pushable TNT block, along with the keys and gates, and an inventory for them, too.

You wouldn't believe how much time I've spent, today, trying to get the Bat movement to work right!
