A simple, (but somewhat eye-popping) logic puzzle, this week. A few of the dominos haven't been filled in! Using the combination of the row/column totals (at the end of each row) along with the fact that you shouldn't be duplicating any dominos, try to fill in the missing blanks. But.. Beware.. You should also try not to fill in any of the blanks that actually should be blank! You can Play Domino Grid here, or wait for it to show up in your regularly scheduled Foldapuz pages.

The classic explosive game of popping atoms is finally in the Shoebox! You can Find Atoms in the Group Games section.

Another weekly remake, in the world of Petit Switch. A lovely little grab from the AGameAWeek archives, as we revisit the teensy tiny space world of Space Popcorn! Shoot the popcorn. There's only one piece left. This shouldn't take long at all. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

Spent a few hours, yesterday, getting a very basic looking car to drive around a very basic looking grassland. (and/or, blue space with stars in it, acting like a flat driveable area!)

We all know what happens if I leave a game for a week.. I find it very hard to get myself back into the swing of things. I need something a little more immediate to pop into the Shoebox, because.. at this rate.. it'll be mid July before The Quest is ready!! "Oh, I know," says my silly head, "what about Hangman?"

I think I'm making a music program..!?

Tonight I attempted to get a JMTrackr style music engine to work in Petit-switch.

I spent most of last night reading (and/or attempting to read, with Google Translate's camera function glitching and popping all the text, all over the place) through what I could find in Petit Computer's Help files. SpikeDislike Watch : Likes 2 - Downloads 18

In the Amazon package to my left.. A brand new Keyboard and Mouse.

Alan Suggests..

While I'm thinking about it, one nice-to-have feature for Crossword Game would be ''shuffle my rack''. Sure, ok, why not!

RSKGames says..

The animation of the icons on transition from main menu to sub menu and back looks cool. Except the board games sub menu in all other sub menus the first row icons are way over the top such that half the icon is hidden above. Took me a while to figure out exactly what he meant, as the exact number of onscreen icons relies on all sorts of screen resolution gubbins.. .. But..

A nice big chunk of feedback from Alan this morning, on the new Crossword Game, so let's dig through his thoughts. You can Play the Crossword Game in the Shoebox under Word Games.

Fun. I beat AL 356-147 Yeah, AL's not hard to beat, right now! I need to get him to plan out Premium Tiles a little better, to bulk up his scores a bit.

Crossword Game v1 is now uploaded. You can Play Crossword Game in the Shoebox, where you'll find it under Word Games.

Right, today I need to figure out how to do the blanks. I'll probably need to use an extra chunk of array to draw them separate from the rest of the board. Draw plain blanks, then plop letters on top. I might even make them Font-based, rather than Tile-based.

1. The "Swap Letters" dialogue. A secondary rack that pops up and lets you move letters into the Swap-Rack, before hitting the "Yep, swap!" button and having them be swapped, whilst you miss a turn.

Crikey! This game's harder to code than I remembered.

Me and Michael Fernie have been emailing back and forth, today, all about the recent Shoebox additions, and player feedback. Lots of new games added to Shoebox. Very nice. Seems like you are getting a bunch of comments too. That is exciting because people are playing. Indeed. Unlike my previous 400 games, these ones actually seem to be popular!! I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing!

I spent a good number of hours, yesterday, looking online for any rulesets that might make "Beleaguered Castle Solitaire" any better, but failed miserably to find anything. I did find a number of alternative solitaires that claimed to make the game a little harder, though, so.. Um.. Yeah, ok!!

I think my head wants to have a play with a "Normal" AGameAWeek game.

A simple Snakes'n'Ladders style game, using cards. Use one of the cards from your hand to select how many spaces you'll move. If you land on a Spike, turn it over to see what will happen. You'll either end up moving forwards or backwards, so lets hope that luck is on your side. You can Find 'Board of Snakes' in the Board Games of the Shoebox.

Still on a bit of a go-slow, here. It doesn't help that the weather's been absolutely gorgeous over the past few days, so much so that the need to sit and relax in the sunshine has taken precedence over standard coding duties.

Having a few "quirk" issues, right now.

I think I need more Board Games in the Shoebox.

cooolboy stopped by and left a couple of comments on 3DS games. I should give some proper feedback.
