As with all years, this year's had it's ups and downs. After last year's Gap-Year, it felt good to get back into the thick of things, and I started the year off with some rather odd ideas. As the year went on, the ideas fizzled out, and we got back into regular "Dodge the X, Collect the Y" territory, which is a bit of a shame. And then there was the EPIC disaster that is Gamma Collexion.

Getting to the sluggish bit of Framework Development, now.

It's been 4 years since I created my original Monkey Framework. Although it's true that it's had the odd nip and tuck over the years, it's certainly starting to show it's age. The complete and utter disaster of Gamma Collexion, (whereby the multiplayer code failed SPECTACULARLY) was the final straw.

Yesterday I made a start on the frontend of the new framework.

Geeze, I can't believe I forgot to transfer my Emulator Archive to the new Laptop.

Much of the coming week's blogs will be "I worked on the framework some more."

A few days ago, I uploaded the first version of GammaCollexion to TeamOUYA for review. When you upload, you may waffle for a short time, which they hopefully read, and make note of. I waffled about how I wasn't 100% sure on the multiplayer controls, and how they really oughta check those first, before moving on.

Oh, FFS..

Oh dear.. Things aren't running so smoothly..

Lots of little chunks of code, yesterday.

Nearing the next milestone on my epic Advent Calendar project!

I'm hoping to get the test version of Gamma Collexion sent off for OUYA Review about a week before release, so that means it needs to be up and ready by about this time next month.

TV

I watched the return of Crystal Maze, last night, on Channel 4.

During my Sunday day of extreme laziness, I somehow managed to talk myself into buying an XBox One..
