Mostly complaints.. Fuze "tries" to be two things at once. Both a classic BASIC, and a more modern "Not BASIC", and when those two things clash, you either get a great language like BlitzMax, or you get .. Well, Fuze..

Petit Clampett's level generator seems to be working fairly well, but the game has the same "Too much vertical movement" issue as Micro Clampett did. I'm going to have to try figuring that out, today, without resorting to zooming the camera out. Hmmm..

Each week, as I release all my lovely games, a massive influx of fan thoughts bombard my innbox.

Spiky Tower is one of the ultra fast game that I have played from AGAW collection.

Alan suggests.. A QWERTY layout option for the letters might make it a bit smoother. Hard to say without trying it, I guess. Yup, sure would!

Spending today playing with Amiga things.

After a night of busy coding, I was finally trying to get to sleep at about 2:30am. I switched off the light, rolled over in bed, and ... tap. tap tap.. tappity tappity tap. The sound of a great big moth flapping around the room.

Finishing off Rescue Helicopter for Petit Switch was alarmingly difficult, yesterday.

It's 7 years since I first posted the Jiggity post, waffling on about my health, and the tumour, and all of that gubbins. As is tradition, here's my annual health update post! Feel free to skip by this post, it's all about my crappy health issues, and since nothing's changed, you probably know it all anyway!

Blimey, General thoughts! Usually I don't get a chance to look at the ins and outs of the general frameworks and such, once I've started using them. But the new Javascript-based frameworks allow for realtime tweaking, and also fixing old broken things along the way, too. Cool!! So, if you've ANY thoughts about ANYTHING relating to the Browsercade/Shoebox/Foldapuz stuff, please do share, and I'll try my best to keep these sort of posts coming.

Shoebox AI: I am...

Yesterday I spent a good couple of hours working on a couple more XM Modules for the Browsercade.

RSKGames returns with his thoughts on recent games. You can Play Shoebox of Games here, which are all Mouse/Touch controlled games, which run 100% in the browser. Or you can Play Browsercade here, which are all Keyboard/Gamepad controlled games, for a more Arcade-like experience, but which also run in your browser.

Browsercade games

: The main menu or Homepage looks fantastic with each game having the name at the top in their own game themes.

Game number three in the Browsercade sees Platdude running through the endless forest, smashing balls at the enemy creatures within. You can Play Endless Forest in the Browsercade.

The Microbes game is coming along nicely for Petit Switch, and I *think* I'm making a Minigolf for Shoebox, but that all depends on how well the controls work.

One of the hardest things, moving ahead, is going to be coming up with all the ideas for all the different sets of games that I'm making. Currently the Petit Switch and Browsercade games are simple rewrites of older games, but at some point I'm definitely going to have to make a few new ones.

The clusters return, in this fun little puzzle game. Grab a hex from the floor, and jump it up towards the giant stream of falling clusters. The larger the cluster, the more points you'll earn. But don't let the clusters reach the floor! You can Play Clusters of Hex in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Crikey, this took some doing!

Don't worry, it isn't the Twelve Days of Christmas, already!! The endless hopping mechanic returns. Bounce on the backs of the three hens as much as you can, without touching the ground. You only get three jumps from the ground, so repeated bouncing is the best way to get a high score. Tip : Hold A to bounce longer and higher. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

I had one of those Activity Shutdown days again, yesterday. Having stared at the Checkers code for about half an hour, I realised that my head wasn't in a coding mood. Instead then, I created a new ALChoon, played some Zelda:BOTW, and generally had a very lazy day! Today's Plan : Socoder Newsletter, ALChoon and then back to Checkers!

The original Blockman is recreated in glorious Javascript! Run around the platform-maze, gather up all the blocklets, and take them all home. The more you can manage in one go, the higher your combo score. You can Play Blockman in the Browsercade, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

A few more tweaks, and Browsercade Game #001 should be more or less ready to go.

Over on the Switch, I'm reproducing a basic version of Clusters of Hex, and .. .. Oh boy, had I forgotten how much of a pain it was to code this thing in the first place!

Looks pretty good. I did spot a slight half-pixel seam where the background wraps around. I like the parallax effect, though. I've cheat-fixed that for the meantime, by simply wrapping the buffer a single pixel closer to itself, but it might look more glitchy once I start doing different types of backgrounds. I need to add a "sprite to buffer" function, to check that, though. Other tweaks.. I've made the "Logo on a plain screen, waiting for the first click" screen a...

1. People seem utterly baffled by the start-screen of Browsercade. I put that there, because a lot of browsers need a single click before they initiate any audio, but seemingly people are instead "waiting" for it, and think the thing's broken. D'oh!!
