I don't normally post a game on a Saturday, but with all the things I had to remember to do, I figured it best to make an early start on this week's posting incase things got a little crazy!

95% of Flappadiddle now works on the 3DS, but it still needs a bunch of tweaking to be done, in order to get it nicely 3DS worthy. Like the level select menu...

With the 3DS onslaught in full swing, and this week's game being delayed, what better time than to stop and pause, and think about the other myriad of things that I'd like to do..?!

D'oh! Well, I did say that Franken-Hopper was a little bit *too* difficult. .. Now it's the exact opposite. Needs more death, now. Today's been a weird day, code-wise!!

Today has been one hell of a long haul.

Today I was reminded of the classic Amiga puzzler "Pushover".

I promised over on the GBAtemp forum that today would be the day for the first 3DS Homebrew test release, with or without working music. Unfortunately, it's without working music 39)( But it does contain biscuits, so that's ok! If you head over to the Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit page, you'll find a lovely little .3dsx download button. Mmmm..

Spent most of today rewriting the track converter tool.

Yesterday, I spent about 3 or 4 hours wrestling with DevKitPro, trying to figure out the best way to get my Framework running as 3DS Homebrew.

Quite a busy day, yesterday. Not only did I get the game finished off and posted, I also then tackled a couple of website things that I'd not yet bothered to do.

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!

As I continue to tweak the level generator, I've somehow managed to get it to make a few rare 3-biscuit levels. They're incredibly few and far between, but every 100 or so generated levels brings a 3-biscuit level to the forefront.

This is coming along rather well. The scores are now all totting up, and everything's working to a moderately decent standard. The game/tool's not very good at noticing gaps in word placements, so you could put down "Happy Cat" and it wouldn't notice the space. That needs fixed. But if you're playing along with a real-world board game, as is the intention with this, you can probably work around that slight flaw!!

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.

\o/yeay\o/ First test print that's at least vaguely decent.

Our second test of Flappadiddle with various improvements and tweaks and hopefully a better all-round experience.

Plenty of stuff got done, yesterday.

Yesterday ended up being much more productive than I intended it to be. With the Linux re-installation, the CPC coding and the ALChoon, I managed to get a fair amount of stuff done.

Hello. Welcome to a test! You can Download Linux Test 2 here Please note : This isn't a game, it's just a test! This is the current version of the framework, and you'll notice it's not quite at 100%, just yet. I've still oodles of stuff to do.

It began, last night, at about 2am. *pop*

I spent most of last night fiddling around with my new toy, Vocaloid.

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.
