This project was titled "Power Source" when I started it, but the name doesn't fit the end result, so I'm going to have to change it.

Lots of things to finish off, today, and not a lot of time to do it.
Tomorrow's another trip into town for another assessment, and that'll take away a lot of my regular Thursday "finishing things off" time, so ..
Today's the day for that!!

Yesterday I was playing with Alien sprites.
Today, I've been playing with Balls!
First off, don't get too excited!
This is currently only a simple physics test, and is in no way representative of the end result!
I'm actually aiming for a completely different game, first, but figured I might as well test the physics whilst I'm here.
So far, so good, although the physics are occasionally a little bit glitchy.
But..
.. Yeah, works fine!!

Shoebox - Blackjack
Blog
12th July 2019
Blackjack, Pontoon, 21. Call it what you will.
The aim is to reach as close as you can to 21, without going over.
Once you're done, AL will have a try, and whoever gets closest is the winner.
The first to reach three wins is declared the overall winner of the game.
You can Play Blackjack in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

I might switch up a tiny rule for the Tower Solitaire game.
Instead of having a Swap Pile, I think I might instead make the "3 dealt cards" spread out into three distinct piles.
I'll have a play with this rule, today, and see which appears to work the best.
Other than that, I guess I need to start thinking about next week's Petit-Switch game, and figuring out what else needs to be done with the Browsercade framework.
I still haven't added any kind of Redefine Joypad thing, yet, so might ai...

Name That Solitaire

20th June 2019
I woke up with a Solitaire game in my head.. As you do!
Figured I'd code it, and see how it turned out, and .. Yeah, it's quite playable!
Currently near-impossible, but I think having a "Swap Pile" should help that quite a bit.
Basic rules. You can place Same Suit/Value card atop each other in the pyramid. If a card matches the Suit/Value of both of the two adjacent cards, you may place the card in the row above.
(eg, if you have a 2 of hearts in your hand, and the two cards below are a ...

Quest
18th May 2019
A smallish, but needed improvement to ALs Mancala abilities.
Players of v0.9858 should find that ALs a little bit smarter, targeting your possible captures, as well as aiming for his Mancala pot a little better.
It's not "much" of a change, but he is a bit harder.
I've not yet added Laps into the mix!
Maybe tomorrow?

@RSKGamesToday I played Board of spikes and Ludo in android mobile. This is the first time I am playing shoebox of games in mobile and I found it to be a very good experience. Took a little bit of effort to place the ludo pieces initially but then it became easier.Views 109, Upvotes 28

Place tiles on the board such that there are a line of your opponent's tiles between your new tile, and one of your tiles elsewhere on the board.
Any opponent's tiles inbetween will be captured. Aim to have the most tiles on the board, by the end of the game. Views 115, Upvotes 31
