More Particles!
Blog
10th March 2019
Today I'll be trying to come up with a few imaginative ideas for particles, but will probably run out of ideas after my usual few!

KORG Gadget 2 released, yesterday morning, on iOS, Mac and also now on Windows.
As such, I took a day off from coding, and instead spent the day playing with the iOS edition of the app.

Tweaking the Box

I did a few tweaks to the framework, yesterday.
There's now a mute button in the pause/escape menu, which works.. (For a few hours, it was there, but did absolutely nothing!!)

As far as I've been able to stress-test, the save/load functionality of the new Shoebox framework should now function correctly!

Yesterday I got an email with an idea for a game.
A "simple" card game that could work fairly well.

RSS Test
Blog
31st January 2019
This is a test.
I'm not sure how compatible the new RSS feed is going to be, but if you'd like to try it out in your RSS Reader of Choice, then the url is rss.xml, which is a fairly obvious choice for rss feed urls, I think.
The link has been added down at the very bottom right of the site, and is also tagged in the header, near all those bloomin' icons!
Let me know how it goes.

Slow Day

25th January 2019
Didn't get an awful lot of coding done, yesterday.
My mind was unsure whether to make the Chess game into a puzzle or an action game, and it was as though that decision clogged up my mind to the point where I didn't actually do anything at all!!

Palettes
Blog
24th December 2018
Palettes are vaguely integrated into the engine.
For the meantime, the palette simply forces any colour drawing to be selected from within a selection of predetermined colours.
Due to the way JavaScript's canvas drawing works, the effect isn't 100%, with all manner of anti-aliasing getting in the way of things.
A better option would be to draw the spritesheet, then do a second pass, forcing each individual pixel to be from the chosen palette.
.. Another day, perhaps.
Meanwhile, I'...

You can Download Lazy Man's 3DS Theme Generator here, but you'll need a couple more utilities on your system to make full use of it.
Editing ThemesTo edit 3DS Homebrew Themes, you'll need a decent editor. I use the editor "Usagi" You can download that here For reference, the version I use is v1.0.12.1 - I'm not sure if there are other (better or worse) editors available, as I found this one and was comfortable using it.Views 2883, Upvotes 94

The SoCoder Advent of Creativity has asked for people to create things over the course of Advent.
I've decided to make a website which then further creates arty little splodges!
Starting with Snowflakes as well as Bushy Trees and Spiky Grass, the site seems to be functioning well enough.
The site is 100% Javascript based, and works by quickly downloading the javascript of the generator you've selected, and then running it in the background to make a batch of Procedurally Generated sprites...

Foldapuz - Unfolded
Blog
21st November 2018
For the past week or so, I've been gradually putting together a "On your mobile's browser" edition of Foldapuz.
Although there are still a few tweaks to be made to get things "just right", the site now appears to be functional enough to be tested.
If you'd like to test it, head to Unfolded, where you can hopefully figure most things out. (Assuming it works, in the first place!)
On the top right are page selection, alongside a puzzle selection.
The rest of the tools should be self explan...

Spent most of today trying to get multitouch pinch-to-zoom and scrolling to work. Bit of a pain in the arse, if I'm honest, although a lot of that is down to me trying to draw a scaled/cropped area of the Foldapuz page in the background.
The doodle itself "seems" to be scaling properly, but the background keeps squishing and glitching, and ...

I did a major rewrite of the layout code, today, and it broke EVERYTHING!!! All "Yesterday's Solutions" are no longer valid for today, and all puzzles have been re-generated.
The reason is so that the layouts can be expanded to MANY more puzzle types.
Previously the Layout format was 8-characters, meaning you have up to 62 different puzzle types (A-Z, a-z, 0-9)
Although I'm not 100% sure I'll ever reach that limit, I figured it was probably a good idea to bump that number a little, since...
