An Early/Late blog, tonight.

Last night I learned a lesson in spending.

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...

(YouTube) At first, I thought this was simply an issue with my code, so I hunted online for a basic doodle-app, and found this page. It appears that the issue is, at the very least, not my wrongdoing! Basically, you plop your finger down, and roll it around a bit. On iOS, this results in a circle being drawn on the screen, whilst on all three of my touchscreen-enabled Android test devices, it instead results only in the initial placement of the finger. The radius of the touch is seemingly blocking ...

As I release each game, folk from all over the web chip in with their thoughts. Let's see what RSKGames thought of the new-improved complete edition of JNKPlat! Warning : Spoilers ahead You can Download JNKPlat 2018 here, or at GameJolt or on itch.io

Gameplay: After a few levels using one hand for WASD and another for JKL, I got used to the controls and it became easier and smoother to move and jump around with ease and speed. Thi...

I've spent the past couple of days trying to get a doodle-box working, which users can then use to scribble over selected Foldapuz puzzles, on their mobile devices.

I've spent most of today tweaking the Level Database's frontend. The main page now looks a teensy bit more usable, and it even displays the first level from the latest 5 level packs available. (Although, as of right now, it's only showing 4.. .. because there's only 4!!)

I've finally got the 3DS version working again!

Those last few tweaks have taken up most of the day!

Ever so close, now!

I'm getting incredibly close to the end, now.

The new bit-shifting seems to be functioning as expected in the save file.

An hour per game, during which you get to play 10 minigames, and roll a dice 10 times..

We start things off with "The Unfinished Beta" At this point, I've been working on JNKPlat 2018 for about a month. The whole of September (except for the week when I had flu, and it completely floored me) has been spent recreating the wonderful world of JNKPlat. The game runs well enough on 3DS and PC alike, and is currently up to a decent enough state that I've opted to release the current version as a "demo" of sorts. You can Download the game here for Windows or 3DS.

(YouTube) A demo should be available soon.

Carrying on through my current flu symptoms, and I managed to get the last remaining "classic" tiles working in JNKPlat. Those lovely exploding tiles, and pushable TNT block, along with the keys and gates, and an inventory for them, too.

I accomplished a fair number of things, yesterday, but not enough, so today will be more of the same.

More level building. More Foldapuz tweaking. More new puzzles to add. More new tiles to add. All the more's!

Oh dear..

Initial conception, and first test of printed foldable layout. The layout seems workable, and if I continue to make the puzzles in that aspect ratio it should be fairly functional as a pocketsized booklet. Left the idea to ferment for a week!!

The Test button is now on the top left, next to the save button. The tile-menu is now on the bottom left instead of the right, leaving quite a gap on the bottom right of the screen. I might need to tweak that a bit!

The Editor definitely needs a decent GUI, but I'm unsure whether I'm better off with a simpler one, or something a little more fully featured.

(YouTube) The video above shows a bunch of the stuff I've been doing, today. The travellators were working the other day, as was the ability to hop up onto a ledge. But pretty much everything else is new. ..or at least, new to this edition. If you're a fan of previous JNKPlat games, this should all be fairly standard stuff.

I had a nice day off, yesterday, playing with the Logo generator. There's still a few other things I'd like to add, like gradients and possibly borders, outlines, embossing, and that sort of thing. But for now I think I should probably head back to JNKPlat.

It's 1pm, already, and I've barely started my day. Yet again, I did that thing where I stay awake writing the SoCoder Newsletter, "to give myself more time in the morning", but then am so tired that I end up spending all that "extra time" asleep. Totally backfires... .. ... Every week!!
