The date's been set, and it's NEXT WEEK!! Wowies! PetitCom 4/SmileBASIC 4/Petit Switch, call it what you will, the language will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop next Thursday, 23rd April 2020.

Catch the spikes as they fall from the swirling vortex. Protect the planet. The people don't like spikes.. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

Mind's not been focusing properly, this week. The Petit Switch game is only half complete, and needs a ton of work.. Today!! This week's Foldapuz game got done on Monday, but I still haven't posted about it. And the ALChoon got posted late last night.. .. AFTER I started at 1 in the morning!!

I started a project on Switch yesterday, which looks an awful lot like Rotational Defence!!

Fan of Bugs (Bugspin!) seems to have gone down nicely, getting a few decent comments for what is essentially a really basic game. This week, I think I should probably try to make use of that "Two-Joycon" support that I added a while back. But what kind of game could I do with that? I'm terrible at coming up with multiplayer games. Hmm..

As much as I love making gambling games (after all, my IRL name is actually James Gamble) I've tried to steer away from them for the past decade or so.

A fair number of changes, over on the ICQ app, today, including a forced request for your phone number.. Not really happy about that, and will be watching for spam over the next few days. If I don't post a giant whinge about my phone suddenly getting a ton of garbage sent to it, you can assume it's "probably" not being used illicitly.

Meanwhile..

Last night I started work on a remake of "Fan of Bugs" over on PetitSwitch, and the basics are working reasonably well. Bugs get spun aro...

Yesterday I made a very simple start on a new JNKPlat, for Petit Switch/SmileBASIC4.

Bit of a late night, last night. Well, it wasn't too late. I got to sleep around about 1 in the morning, but then inexplicably woke up at 3, and could NOT get back to sleep again! Wasn't until about 6:30 before I did, and as would be expected, I'm utterly wrecked, this morning. Bah, humbug!

A quick "game" tutorial type thing for a silly little game, created using PetitCom/SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch. If you've grabbed a copy from the Japanese eShop, you should be able to follow along, since the program itself now includes a complete English translation. I'll assume you're using the program with a USB Keyboard attached, but if not, most of the keyboard functionality can be accessed by hitting the [-] button on your controller. From the main menu, hit the Make a Prog...

This is not really a game idea. I've seen you're using petitcomputer 4 on nintendo swich. Do you like the basic coding language? If yes, you can also make mobile games (cuz your little games could really go on mobile) for android using Rfo basic and Rfo compiler (if you don't want to pay a compiler, you can just use rfo-quick apk). Hope to see some mobiles games soon, heredos. Honestly.. I'm DONE with Mobile.

Right, I've had this idea bubbling about for a week or so. It's almost fermented, but I think I should be able to figure out what's going to happen along the way.

OK, time to think of something for Petit Switch. Get my head out of the horror-show that's currently clinging to everyone's minds, and try to focus on some gamey stuff. But what game to do?

I finally got away to the getaway island, last night. Isle Plat looks like it might become a lovely little island, but is currently full of weeds, and other nasty things that I need to take care of. What a lovely little island, though. A highly recommended getaway. #AnimalCrossing

This is the alarmingly over-simplified sprite tool that I've been using to do all my Petit Switch games. Don't expect anything magical!! If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the tool using the Public Key...

Nope.. Can't call it that.. Bubble Pixie, then? Will that do?! Need to get some nice death-avoidance/maze type things going, but the basic control scheme seems to be working nicely.

I started the day off with an idea in mind. I created a little sprite of a bubble, and formulated some kind of a plan for a game.
