1. Not Pong is going to be my game for Petit Switch, this week. 2. Dots and Squares will be this week's Shoebox game. Todo-List. For Not Pong, I need to add a decent amount of sparkle and loveliness, but the basic gameplay's up and running. Dots and Squares needs a better AL-AI. He's currently only looking at each square on it's own, so often says "This square only has one line, I'll add a line", but is inadvertently placing that line at a point that makes a third line on ...

Watch me fumble my way through the Shoebox, in this brand new Shoebox of Games Youtube Playlist!! That's taken about 4 hours in total.. Capturing, uploading, editing the info, then dumping them all into a playlist. This probably isn't all that interesting, if I'm honest, but I figured it was about time I started making basic, regular use of my Youtube channel.

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

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

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 ...

Another weekly remake, in the world of Petit Switch. A lovely little grab from the AGameAWeek archives, as we revisit the teensy tiny space world of Space Popcorn! Shoot the popcorn. There's only one piece left. This shouldn't take long at all. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

Spent a few hours, yesterday, getting a very basic looking car to drive around a very basic looking grassland. (and/or, blue space with stars in it, acting like a flat driveable area!)

Yesterday was spent making an Pixel/Sprite doodling thing for Petit Switch. With that, JMTrackr and the default audio files, I'm fairly sure I can now get a decent number of games up and running.

The default pixel-sprite editor for PetitSwitch Scroll around the left-side (full spritesheet) with the left thumbstick, draw in the right hand "zoomed" view (you can zoom in further) with touchscreen or mouse. Controls for colours, but the palette doesn't save. .. Booo! Plenty of twiddly knobs and buttons, barely any of which I have the faintest idea what they're doing. A to plot, B to pick colour.. .. Except.. The dpad doesn't move the cursor.. In fact, NOTHING moves the cursor. In...

This morning, my laptop's clipboard still had yesterday's Daily Platdude Pixelart in it. .. This is how much time I've spent working in Petit Switch!

Really getting somewhere with JMTrackr for Petit Switch, now!

I've gotten JMTracker up to a semi-working state, but still have to add test settings for things like Tempo and Instrument selection, as well as a proper Load requester. But so far, so good, and it's a vaguely decent output.. I think!! Although only a proper set of melodies and actual ingame usage will tell for sure..

I think I'm making a music program..!?
