Tonight I worked on the level generator for the Biscuit Puzzler, and it seems to work reasonably well. The main problem now, is that with one biscuit in a grid of 5x5, the gameplay's more than a little repetitive. I'm going to have to see if I can come up with something a little more interesting to keep the game alive. As it stands, though, there's some fiendishly difficult puzzles coming out of the generator, and that's good to see Incide...

Last night I rejigged a lot of the Scrabble Scoreboard, and especially focused on the GUI a little. That Undo button still doesn't quite work, with it being tucked right at the top of the screen, but otherwise the new GUI looks a little more usable.

Might as well make this an official AGameAWeek release, eh? This week's release isn't really a game. It's more of a Tool, or a Game-Companion!

I love to play Scrabble. Mum also loves to play Scrabble. This coming Mother's Day (this Sunday) me and Mum will probably be spending some time playing Scrabble.

The plan at 11pm was simple. If I write tomorrow's SoCoder newsletter now, then I can wake up, post it quickly, and return to the coding!

With each release, the feedback is fed back, and I like to gather any important comments and post them into an easily accessible post. This week's game is the lovely neon shooter, On a Space Shooting Trail

Last year I played one the NeonPlat games and marveled at the neon graphics style. This game has the same style but the way the looks is achieved seems to have matured a lot. Using the new framework some crafty blending techniques have been used to convert the simple white s...

Six years to the day that they found the great big tumour in my head. In the time since, I've created over 130 games, built 3 different Frameworks including the recent C++ one, and drawn a heck of a lot of daily Pixelart doodles, tons of ALChoons, completely rewritten two fairly large websites, and a whole load more. None of this would've been possible without the great Neurosurgery team up at Salford Royal, (specifically, Dr Leggate's team) and the wonders that are the British NHS. Tha...

The second game in the new C++ Framework is another familiar favourite, as we battle once again, in the neon skies.

Title by RSKGames!

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

Each time I release a game, the thoughts and comments come rolling in. Let's take a peek at this week's thoughts.

I find Flappadiddle Doo having the smooth gameplay like its predecessor and the polish found in ''Sheep Goes Right''.

The game's a little closer to release, as I've stress tested all the "Main" levels.

The 3D Printer arrived. I spent most of the day doing the setup.

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!

It's hard to focus on the actual game, when instead I'm spending time fixing all the quirks in the framework.

Spent a few hours yesterday digging through code, neatening things up, and fixing what bits and pieces I could.

Seems I've broken a few bits of the framework, this week. RSKGames has reported that the music seems to stop after a few seconds. Not quite sure why that might be, but it's definitely something to look into.

Plenty of stuff got done, yesterday.

World 2 will be a bit leafy.

Yeay! Thanks to all for testing. Rychan - I see the hitbox detection has been improved somewhat also which is cool A little more forgiving, this time. The original game was a little "too" mean when it came to bird vs flame hits!

If you haven't yet tried out Flappadiddle-Doo's first release, please give it a try, and let me know how well it does or doesn't work on your given system. Thanks for trying.
