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

For the past couple of weeks, since the most to a Linode server, I've been tweaking tons of little settings in and around the system to keep things running smoothly.

Yesterday was an effort.

I felt a little rough yesterday, so mostly spent the day just making more JNKPlat levels, and otherwise playing various games on the Switch.

Tonight I spent a good couple of hours working on the Checksums for the JNKPlat level editor.

Added Critically Triangular. Aaah, the joys of trigonometry! Also added Word Snake, which doesn't currently have any solutions, because I'm not sure how I could do that! It's an open-ended game, and should at least prove somewhat challenging. In addition, I've also rejigged the puzzle selection menu to make it a little bit neater, sectioning off the games into their various categories, and I've also shuffled the How To instructions to be in the same order.

Spent most of this morning working on Delta Timings..

An hour per game, during which you get to play 10 minigames, and roll a dice 10 times..

Each time I release a game, an huge influx of feedback comes my way from all over the web! Let's see what people thought of JNKPlat 2018! You can Download JNKPlat2018 Beta here.

Played the tutorial levels. Couldn't complete the navigation level 4 (I am not fast enough to get down and get up on the bar) and dangerous creatures level 2 (always got killed by the flying creature).

We start things off with "The Unfinished Beta" At this point, I've been working on JNKPlat 2018 for about a month. The whole of September (except for the week when I had flu, and it completely floored me) has been spent recreating the wonderful world of JNKPlat. The game runs well enough on 3DS and PC alike, and is currently up to a decent enough state that I've opted to release the current version as a "demo" of sorts. You can Download the game here for Windows or 3DS.

About time I added one of these. It was always my intention to add one to the "Enter Your Name" screen, but.. Lazy Jay!! I never got 'round to actually adding the thing. Today, I've done that. And, boy, was it complicated!

Get out of this Flu-Funk, and try my damndest to get some bloomin' coding done.

A minor update to the way Word Ladder is generated, which has sped the whole thing up by a remarkable amount. What took about 3 or 4 seconds, yesterday, now only takes around 0.2 seconds. Optimisation is the key! Technically, instead of checking each and every word in the list, I first ensured the wordlist was properly alphabetised.. Next I jump through the list in groups of 1500 words, until "over", then do a quick sift between the 1500 chunk of words. This is the "Normal" way to do wordlists, but...

Things weren't quite so bad, last night, and I managed to get a number of tiles up and running.

Today should really be about making some new levels with yesterday's new tiles.

Oh dear..

Another 4 levels of JNKPlat were made, yesterday. Nice and big proper levels that should take a few minutes to solve, assuming you manage them in the right order!
