Started to make some progress with Touchscreen Controls, for Browsercade, today.
The hard part was getting this button to work..

I managed to rewrite most of my little PetitSwitch Sprite Editor, yesterday, but there's still a few missing features that need reintegrated. Though, if I'm honest, I never actually used those features.. So I might be lazy and say "Job Done"!

Redefining
Blog
22nd June 2019
Today I need to rewrite a ton of my input code, to work properly with redefined keys/gamepads, and then add a screen to let you do that.
.. More bloomin' menus.
Grrr!!

Menu Coming Together
Blog
17th June 2019
After a couple of days of back&forth, I've finally decided "meh, whatever!" and opted to go for a Coverflow-RipOff style menu.
It actually looks rather nice, and scrolls quite well, except on touchscreens where the thing's a teensy bit dodgy due to co-ordinate issues.
But otherwise it works nicely. (Although it isn't "quite" centring properly!)
Scroll around, select a game, sorted..
Currently all "games" lead to the exact same test engine, but eventually this will (hopefully!) be a ma...

Audio Dilemma..
Blog
12th June 2019
In the new framework, audio tests are going ahead.
An mp3 can stream, and play, and even stays in memory for repetition or restarts when the game is restarted.
The mp3 can be paused, the mp3 can be set to loop.
This is all good.
Moreso, I've coded the ability for different mp3s to play for different games, and perhaps even different tracks per level. The browser will grab the mp3 as needed, and will play it.
This is all good!!
Yeay!

The default pixel-sprite editor for PetitSwitch
Scroll around the left-side (full spritesheet) with the left thumbstick, draw in the right hand "zoomed" view (you can zoom in further) with touchscreen or mouse.
Controls for colours, but the palette doesn't save. .. Booo!
Plenty of twiddly knobs and buttons, barely any of which I have the faintest idea what they're doing.
A to plot, B to pick colour.. .. Except..
The dpad doesn't move the cursor.. In fact, NOTHING moves the cursor.

I've gotten JMTracker up to a semi-working state, but still have to add test settings for things like Tempo and Instrument selection, as well as a proper Load requester.
But so far, so good, and it's a vaguely decent output.. I think!!
Although only a proper set of melodies and actual ingame usage will tell for sure..

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.

OK, Now What?>

I should really finish off Mancala's "Laps" stuff. I think that's probably going to be today's task.
But after that, what game comes next?

Mancala's coming along nicely, now. I think!!
All the Landing rules seem to be working, and the game-end stuff is also functional, but AL's still not very good at the game, so a little more work on AL is needed.
But, definitely getting there!

Record time for player feedback! Let's have a nosey.
You can Play Shuffled Tracks in the Extras section of the Shoebox.
RSKGamesPlayed ''Shuffled Tracks'' and was quite surprised to find such a polished game done in 2 days. You'd be surprised.. ... The game was almost ready to go, yesterday!! Most of today's coding session was spent fixing up the generator to make the levels more difficult.Views 119, Upvotes 26

The AI is selecting some nice placements, as well as some fairly decent words, but there are still "quirks" in the methodology.

What a Bizarre Bug

RSKGamesWhen I was playing Golf Solitaire in my android chrome browser found an odd issue where the drag and drop card gets placed in the top left of the screen as seen in the attached screenshot.Views 82, Upvotes 15

All previous links will still work, and nothing should be broken by the HUGE change in Shoebox, since the new domain simply links to the same files in the same folder, and all the file access is relative.
ShoeboxOfGames.com now exists!
I bought the domain a couple of days ago, but only got around to setting it up properly, late last night.
A more or less simple addition to the overall chaos of AGameAWeek.
