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...

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.

I need to come up with a Foldapuz for tonight. Really running out of ideas for that, but am determined to keep pushing onwards until there are literally no more random puzzles left to put in!

Shoebox doesn't scale in a normal way.

..? I've enjoyed doing Shoebox for the past few months, and am currently trying to decide whether I should make a similar browser-based collection of Keyboard/Gamepad supported games. Delving through the depths of AGameAWeek's past, I'd be able to build up a fairly interesting collection that can all be played in your browser. .. I might even add one of those "Onscreen Controls" things for when you're playing on mobile.. If I were to do this, I've decided that a nice name migh...

After each release, or thereabouts because it's getting hard for even me to keep up, we get a little bit of feedback for the games. If you'd like to join in, you can either use the Comments section, Email me, or send a Tweet. You can Play Atoms in the ShoeBox. It's in the "Group Games" section.

@RSKGames says..

Played 3 times and lost the first time and won the second and third time. First time I lost after my very first move. LOL! Poor @RSKGames!

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

1. Finish off Atoms.

I finally got music and sound effects working nicely together in the "not the shoebox" Javascript engine, and it all works nicely on my iPad, too! Great stuff!! Next Challenge.. Input!

@RSKGames suggests.. Can you consider making a version of the new AGAW JS mega compilation into an electron app so that you can retain the online scoreboard. In a electron app I think you can restrict users getting into the dev console. I'll have a look into it.

This week's Petit Switch release is a recreation of one of my favourite puzzlers, Blockman Gets. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

I was flicking through my Shoebox Todo-List, today, and stumbled upon Atoms. I haven't attempted Atoms for a while, mostly because it requires me to draw all those Atoms!! But, today I drew them, and the engine seems fairly capable. (ignore the fact that half those positions aren't "real", it's just a crazy animating thing, right now!)

Before I dare to attempt to turn AGameAWeek into a "All in one big javascript engine" mega compilation, I think it's important to jot down a few "issues" that there might be..

Spent most of last night playing with this Javascript Mod Player which seems nice and functional.

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! .. Except...

Oh boy, was yesterday complicated!!

I can't seem to get back into a "normal" AGameAWeek flow. Which is an odd thing to say, given I've released 6 games in the past couple of weeks.

Starting from Hex-Tile 1, place the numbers in a route from 1 to 24 in order, moving 1 tile along, each time. You can play Play Rikudo here or they'll show up in standard Foldapuz

Today will be without a release, but there's not been an "AGameAWeek proper" for a long time, so I don't think anyone's going to be too disappointed by that fact! But what of the rest of the week?

I can't find the fun in "Car vs Traffic Cones". .. not even Mutant Killer Cones could save this game!

Game scrapped

I spent a good few hours trying to figure out why my MacMini wasn't connecting to the net. I mean, it WAS, but it seemed much slower than usual.

I'm still marginally hopeful that I can make something fun from the car thing. Right now it's still extremely bland and dull, but I think with a few tweaks, I can manage to get something gamey out of it. I think!

It's nothing too tricky, and you won't struggle to play it. The simple classic game of Hangman. Tap the letters, fill in the blanks, and try to guess the words or phrase. You can Play Hangman in the Shoebox where you'll find it in amongst the Word Games.

I didn't get ANY coding done on this week's AGameAWeek yesterday, but then a lot of that was down to an unexpected server issue.

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...

Brum Brum?

But, a little more organised juggling, this time.
