I made this about 4 or 5 days ago, and have had it as my desktop on about 3 different systems.
Oooh, it's luvly! (Even if I do say so myself)

There's a game-logic-error in the thing, but other than that it's a nice looking desktop.
It's a massive 3200x3200 pixels, but should scale nicely to your resolution... If...

#200!!! Blog
13th July 2010
Is it really 200, already?! Blimey!

The quickly made retrospective "look at what you've done" post..


I started writing games as a kid, went through school making silly games, and ended up with not-much-at-all to show for it.

My super copyright infringing retro game is back!
Take one part Pitfall, one part Tomb Raider, and mix in a little Indiana Jones, and this probably wouldn't be the first thing that springs to mind.
Never the less...

Mmm.. Editor!
You can play along inside the editor, just like in the last one, but things get a bit shrinkied this time.
The game scales down from 7*pixels to 4*pixels, so that a bunch of extra editor clickables can fit around the side.

The people at <a href="https://forum.curlysworldoffreeware.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2606">Curly's World of Freeware</a> suggested that the original Microbes game might've been a wee bit too crazy.

I just spent the past two hours trying to get my iPod game to pause when the user quits via Multitasking, or by the lock button, or whatever.
Trying to pass a variable (a single little integer) from one part of the program (AppDelegate) to another (ViewController) is probably one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do!
Good God, why do they have to make things so damn difficult!?

Hmm.. This iPhing dev is taking longer than my regular AGameAWeek stuff!
But I'm learning, and I'm practising, and I'm breaking and fixing things, too!
Today I got loading and saving to work, I got most of my menu working, and I even got the pause button going, too!
I've popped in the regular "Platdude Jingle", figured it'd do for the meantime, and..

This one didn't really turn out, so well.
It's a nice nature based bee game, with lovely floaty music, and some words.

You hit Tab to highlight the flower/bee, type it's unscrambled word into Barry's Belly, then hit return.

It's probably due to the sweltering heat, but my mind's not been very active today, and I've been really slow at getting anything done.
I got quite a lot of Barry the Spelling Bee done, and then decided to do a little work on Cardagain. But, boy, that got messy.
First off, I tried playing a bit of title music.
That just plain didn't happen!! After 2 hours, I scrapped the idea of title music!
Next up, the menu got half complete, and I figured I should add load/save m...

If you hadn't noticed, I've spent most of this week working on my iPhing game, so what happens to AGameAWeek!?
Well, I've still got today and tomorrow, and there's nothing better than a rushed quicky game... right!?!

My mum had a couple of games of Cardagain, today!
That's how far along it's come!!
In less than a week, I've not only finally managed to get a grip on the language, I'm actually making a pretty damn good game, too!
In the next couple of days, there's still a few bits and pieces to work on.

.. as in "You have to pick the card, again", but also sounds like cardigan, so it's a nice fluffy name!!

Seems that the game idea is really starting to build up nicely.

I'm definitely sticking to that 90 minute thing, it's just that, right now, you can't see it!!
Yesterday I fixed up a few things over at Socoder.net. I added a nice upload gallery on the right, and fixed up a few little annoying bugs that needed tweaking.
Then, at 10pm, I decided to make a new game.
And the game went well.

On Friday I had a really rather productive day, and managed to build up my iPhing knowledge quite a fair bit.
I didn't have enough time to do a 90-minute thing, though, and am quite disappointed by that.
Saturday came and went, with most of the kitchen getting it's new ceiling up, and no 90-minutes being spent, again!
Dangit.

I've not done my "90 minute" challenge again, today.
Well, I did spend about 6 hours figuring out the iPod development stuff, but that wasn't the point of the 90 minute thing, really, was it!?
Anyhoo, no matter.
There's a silly "Vuvuzela Hero" picture going around the net, and I think it started (URL "https://blog.gaborit-d.com/vuvuzela-hero-legend-of-africa/">right here), although I'm not 100% sure.

There we go!
Using the buffers I mentioned earlier, and pasting 100*32x32 pixel sprites onto those buffers (32x3200 pixel buffers) I've created 8 completely independent reels, each with their own selection of 100 slots.
Drawing onto those reel buffers slows us down, and takes around about 2 or 3 seconds to do, so you wouldn't be doing that in realtime.. But once the reels buffers have been drawn, we can slam them up on the screen with pretty much no slowdown whatsoever.
Essentiall...

OK, so I finally got my DevLicense, and the first thing I did was to slap the test engine onto my iPod Touch.
If you've tried that, you'll probably found exactly the same thing that I did.
...that, rather than going "Weeee!" it went "... plod... plod..." at about 2 frames a second.
This is not a good thing.

This was 95% done last night, with only a minor tweak this morning..
But it was far too late, and I couldn't be bothered faffing around with the three OS's, trying to compile everything for everyone, so... well.. Here it is now!

WarioWare is cancelled, this week!!
It's half past midnight, and 90 minutes in, Tuesday's 90-minute-game isn't going to quite fit into the amount of time I'm going to be awake!!!
I'm half asleep, already, and when you start spotting typing errors in your code, you know it's time to sleep.
So, I'll finish this off in the morning.
