I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.

Recently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^;

I need to double check, but I think the big Grid[] array might be having issues.

OK, today's aim is obvious. Extra Squishiness in the Bug Department!!

Spent most of today rewriting the track converter tool.

Everything seems nice and stable with the Win/Linux/Mac framework, but it's a shame that Android and iOS aren't currently part of the journey. What better time then, to choose to take a really odd detour, and see if I can squeeze in a little extra.

Time for Generic Snake Game #29304732!

I really need to work on the game, today. I've mostly neglected it for the past couple of days, and that's no good for AGameAWeek!

Not sure where I'll be plonking this week's game, but I expect a quick upload to the server in HTML5 format will probably suffice. The basic layout is working, tile placement seems ok. There's a Cancel word button and a Enter Word button. There's also undo functionality, which will be helpful when you accidentally hit the Enter Word button!! (Something that was incredibly frustrating in my previous attempt at this sort of thing.) Next I need to go through all the different tile/wor...

I'm not really sure what direction this puzzle thing's going to take. I've a single level idea in mind, but whether I can expand that to make more levels, I've no idea.

Today during testing, I hit a rather nasty issue with the framework. When coding the Online Scoreboard component, I added a 5 second timeout to the code. Unfortunately, as well as that works "in theory", the timeout is completely ignored during the "connect" part of the script.

Player goes right, bullets are working, baddies appear, deaths and kills. All is working well.

A conversation over on SoCoder inevitably led to me ordering a 3D Printer, because.. *shrugs* It's my birthday next Friday, so if I needed an excuse... There it is!

World 2 will be a bit leafy.

Over on Twitter, earlier, @Magic_bane suggested that I should enter this competition.

Planned to do coding, today. And, though I did do some coding, it wasn't anything to do with the Framework!

More tweaks to the framework, as I attempt to at least get basic compiling to work on iOS!

I *think* I've figured out how to "create" XCode projects programatically.

People might look at the fact that I spent all day, yesterday, working on an "unrelated" Icon Resizer project, but the new framework needed a new version of the tool.

The new server has a great virus-scanning feature, which blocks any downloads should the file contain any kind of possible dodgyness.

Yesterday was spent, as expected, doing the Little Lever site.

I started work on Draw-To-Buffer today, and managed to get a couple of basic functions into place. Create buffer of X/Y size, Clear buffer, Fill buffer with X Colour, Draw a line to the buffer, and then the most important one.

Assuming that everything on the list is everything I need, then I'm getting awfully close to the end!

Spent most of today going through my giant checklist, doing lots of the little un-attempted things.

All night, the cat was running around, up and down stairs, and randomly yelling. I figured she probably wanted out, so at 1am I bumbled out of bed and opened the back door for her. At 1:30, I was stood at the door, freezing, waiting for her to come back in. Bloody cat.

Feels good to be coding, properly, again!

Thanks! \o/
