At 3pm I have to be at the town hall, where I'm having a discussion with a council worker about my upcoming disability tribunal.
Oh the fun!!

As such, any and all coding will probably be abandoned for much of the day, as my mind whizzes around trying to decide what I'm going to say, and all that kind of gubbins.

Not a fan of this kind of thing, if I'm honest.

Hopefully I'll get back on track, later tonight.

I needed some quick and simple spaceships, so decided to try making them with that old JNK Sprite Generator that I appear to have neglected for a number of months!
They might not look very good, but scaled just right, and on the right sort of background, they're passable! .. A bit..



You can generate your own squiggles here.

Have spent today working on more menu gubbins, and default "Quit", "Retry" buttons and things. The basic pause screen is looking terribly familiar!

A simple little word puzzle, today. Add letters from the top to bottom, or remove letters from the bottom to top, to make words which fill up the pyramid.

You can either choose to jumble the letters in each word or not, but the original solution is designed without any jumbles.

You can Play Word Pyramid here as part of the daily Foldapuz printable puzzle sheet.

*phew*
Yeah, I knew that wasn't going to be easy...

Really couldn't get into the whole "Redefineable Controls" stuff, yesterday.
Instead, I messed about with Tower Solitaire's rules a little, and also played around with a few other bits and pieces.

As per @RSKGames' suggestion, I've added a couple of Swap mechanics to Tower solitaire.
You can swap any free cards in the tower, but only when they're on the same row.
You can also swap the topmost card amongst the dealt piles, too.

There's not a LOT of things you can swap, but hopefully it should be enough to make things a little bit easier in the 5 and 6 tower modes.

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

As the collection grows ever onwards, people send feedback for the various oddities that I create.

You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Shoebox, under the Card Games.

@RSKGames says..

Yeah, it's a slightly different strategy, but it makes things a lot tougher when you end up with a very specific card that you need to find.
I'm not sure if that makes it "too" hard, at times, though.

Today I need to rewrite a ton of my input code, to work properly with redefined keys/gamepads, and then add a screen to let you do that.
.. More bloomin' menus.
Grrr!!
