Seems my head wasn't quite ready to get back into an all-day coding session like I was aiming for.

Issue : The cards take up a curious amount of space. I'm currently trying to find the best way to display both the game board, and a hand of cards, without it being silly..

I was very lucky that in my first game I did not get into any snake tiles and got the help of one ladder tile to reach near the end zone much before the AI. Yup, this is a game 100% down to luck. I'd like to perhaps remove the sheer-luck, by making the moves maybe Card based, or something? Not quite sure how well that would work, and it honestly wouldn't be "Snakes and Ladders" anymore. So.. Perhaps another type of board game in the future?

The classic "hop over to remove" solitaire game is now part of the Shoebox. It's a simple enough game. Leap either horizontally or vertically over another counter, to remove it from the board. Your task is to remove all but one counter from the board. I wasn't aiming to make this game, but figured it would be a nice showcase for the Board functions. As always, give it a try wherever you can, and be sure to let me know how you get on with it. You can Play ShoeBox here. Leapfrog is in...

Today I'll be tackling the actual functionality of the new Board functions.

I added another Solitaire game to the Shoebox, last night, but it was entirely from memory, and my memory's starting to fade!!

You can Play Shoebox of Games here Over the course of a couple of weeks, in February 2019, I began the creation of a small collection of JavaScript games. My aim is to, over the next few weeks/months, to slowly expand the number of games included in the pack, to create a lovely little collection of card games, word games, board games and more, all of which are playable within your browser.

There's still no baddies in the game yet, but shooting barrels is at least functional.

I added yet another game to the Fold, last night. Multi Box

I spent near enough all day, yesterday, fighting the fight with Emscripten.

As I struggle to decide on what to do about a Xmas launch, I'm jumping about from unfinished projects, half started ones, and then things like Foldapuz which will never be complete, as it's just another great big pile of games!

Yesterday's task was to wake up early, prepare myself to manage the walk to the local Doctor's GP and back.

1. Stop coding so bloody much!!

Today I'm going to get as much JNKPlat work as I can done.

I didn't code a new game, yesterday! The first time in a good number of days where I didn't actually start a new game.

A whole lot of minor, but important tweaks, yesterday. Including finally fixing that jump!!

Tonight I spent a good couple of hours working on the Checksums for the JNKPlat level editor.

Yesterday was mostly spent adding little tweaks and tiny elements to JNKPlat.

Although August 13th isn't a significant date in my health matters, it is the date that I wrote this rather lengthy blog post, back in 2012. It's now become a bit of a tradition for me to post an annual update on this date.

You can Download the "Gold - 10" collection from itch.io. It has 11 games in it, one for each of the 10 years I've been doing this..!?!

I think I've got the enemy ball AI working to a moderately decent degree, but of course I can't be 100% sure until the rest of the game is coded, and I'm actually facing him as an enemy. Most of the day's coding was focused on making the enemy do corners a little better. Even with padded out corners, it was still managing to fall into the abyss much more than I'd like. In the end, I got it balanced reasonably well. It still frequently plummets to its death, but then so does my ow...
