Lots of internal tweaks to the engine, today.
The game now records your highest combo, and places that alongside your highscore in the saves. This means that, when necessary, I can pop that up on the screen. Your last score on the scoreboard is now highlighted and bounces to and fro, to stand out on the list. I do miss having that in the Browsercade. .. Maybe I should try to figure out a way to do that, but Browsercade's save data is there for lots of different types of games, a... Views 59, Upvotes 12

I woke the MacMini up at around about 8pm.
By 11:30 it was finally ready to start using. Update after update after update after update.. And even then I had to uninstall XCode and reinstall it (with a huge download to boot) in order to get it actually working. Views 32, Upvotes 5

Foldapuz - Snake
Blog
14th October 2019
Track down the snake's location. It exists between the 1 and the higher value.
The snake winds its way through the grid, but won't ever rub against itself, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. (eg, there's always a gap around it.) You can Print a page full of Snake here, or Play Snake in your browser, here. Views 89, Upvotes 15

I forgot that, this week, I also figured out a nice way to get the QWERTY keyboard to pop up for both Hangman and Triplets in the Shoebox.
There's now a little subtle [QWERTY]/[ABC] button that shows up in the top bar of the screen. Tap that to switch between the two keyboards. Oddly, I actually find the ABC keyboard easier to use, and that's really really odd!! Views 64, Upvotes 15

It's 7 years since I first posted the Jiggity post, waffling on about my health, and the tumour, and all of that gubbins.
As is tradition, here's my annual health update post! Feel free to skip by this post, it's all about my crappy health issues, and since nothing's changed, you probably know it all anyway! Views 217, Upvotes 23

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. @RSKGamesViews 340, Upvotes 21

Late Night Coding
22nd July 2019
The gradient background in the above screenshot has been drawn to a secondary canvas, which is then redrawn onto the main canvas.
This seems to work reasonably well, and should hopefully allow for a fair number of generated backgrounds and other such effects, without requiring huge 1024x1024 background images to be downloaded. The whole thing runs a little slowly on my Samsung Galaxy 10 A, however, so I'm going to have to add an option to disable the buffer when necessary. But otherwis... Views 1388, Upvotes 20

It's gotten a teensy bit cooler, tonight, and I've been able to get some coding done!
The "ingame GUI" for Space Battle isn't looking awful... And that's as good as you're going to get I might fix up that explosion graphic to make it a bit more "Stand out'y", but otherwise things are definitely a bit more playable. I've added "double tap" to the controls, like with Atoms. I think that's probably the best bet when d... Views 58, Upvotes 12
