Over at Socoder, it's been decided that this year's Advent thing should be a creative one. Each day over Advent, users will be attempting to post fresh, new content, every day.

(YouTube) At first, I thought this was simply an issue with my code, so I hunted online for a basic doodle-app, and found this page. It appears that the issue is, at the very least, not my wrongdoing! Basically, you plop your finger down, and roll it around a bit. On iOS, this results in a circle being drawn on the screen, whilst on all three of my touchscreen-enabled Android test devices, it instead results only in the initial placement of the finger. The radius of the touch is seemingly blocking ...

I took some time, last night, to finally have a proper look at making 3DS Themes.

As I release each game, folk from all over the web chip in with their thoughts. Let's see what RSKGames thought of the new-improved complete edition of JNKPlat! Warning : Spoilers ahead You can Download JNKPlat 2018 here, or at GameJolt or on itch.io

Gameplay: After a few levels using one hand for WASD and another for JKL, I got used to the controls and it became easier and smoother to move and jump around with ease and speed. Thi...

I spent a fair amount of time, yesterday, working on a new feature for Foldapuz.

As I reached game #18 on Foldapuz, I realised that there's a very distinct possibility that I might yet manage to hit the current 62-game limit.

Added Wordoku, which makes use of a pre-generated list of layouts. (From a self coded generator, created using BlitzMax) 2048 layouts are in the file, and on top of that you've got a random selection and then a random selection of missing tiles, so I think (!?) it should be plenty random for days/weeks/months to come. But I'm also starting to get a little worried about whether the random number generator is doing a good enough job. I might have to peek into that, to be sure, but it'll com...

The very first two JNKPlat Level Pack uploads, one by me and the other by RSKGames, have our names missing. Now, I'm not 100% sure what's caused that, but I have a feeling that's a User-Error issue, combined with "The upload database doesn't do updates" one. To double check, I created a quick new level pack and uploaded that. It did indeed pop up with my name on it, so ... As far as I can tell, that's probably not an actual issue. I'll know for sure, later today, as I faff ab...

OK, JNKPlat's practically done.

I've finally got the 3DS version working again!

The main level uploader is now working as well as intended, and the downloader, too is functioning the way it oughta. Next I need to make the web-based uploader work just as neatly.

1. Stop coding so bloody much!!

Another set of levels, a few more background tweaks, and a bunch more fixes to the image loading. JNKPlat2018 is a little bit closer, today.

Last night I rejigged my IP Banning settings a little, to catch any spambots in their tracks. Between 6:20 and 6:26 this morning, BingBot decided to do it's daily update, and requested over 800 pages of content within that short amount of time. Woah there, BingBot!!!

I didn't code a new game, yesterday! The first time in a good number of days where I didn't actually start a new game.

Although I added a new game to Foldapuz yesterday, the sheer randomness of the randomness has meant that the newest game hasn't actually shown up, today.

A whole lot of minor, but important tweaks, yesterday. Including finally fixing that jump!!
