Without using the word "Scrabble", how would you describe today's new Foldapuz puzzle?

Added Cross Target Spent ages trying to find the best way to represent a Scrabble-Style board using only black ink! I should probably redo bits of it with grey, I think.. Hmm.. Anyway, it's a simple enough concept. You have a rack of tiles, and a specific target to hit. Try to score exactly that many points.

I've spent most of the past week building up a collection of little bits and pieces.

As I struggle to decide on what to do about a Xmas launch, I'm jumping about from unfinished projects, half started ones, and then things like Foldapuz which will never be complete, as it's just another great big pile of games!

More work on Foldapuz, yesterday, as I did a whole lot more minor tweaks.

A whole lot of tweaks to Unfolded, to make it all a little more stable. Just minor background things, nothing too notable, but enough to keep things working!! I've also rewritten the way the Alternating Maze is generated, and it now ends up taking about s full second to generate each puzzle. Eeek! Still, with the recent puzzle-cache functionality, that should be a little bit easier on the server. The Alternating Maze mazes should now be a little more difficult to solve, with the paths hopefully...

Thanks to user "Bangers" (Who is apparently also called Steve) there's a couple of new level packs to be played through, although.. Sweet lord are they the hard variety!!! Update : Steve got the pack name and author name mixed up! The two packs join the other 6 level packs previously created by me and @RSKGames, in the online level select. You can Download JNKPlat 2018 here for Windows, Linux and 3DS Homebrew. If you're playing on 3DS Homebrew, head to the Level Database, grab the L...

The majority of the important bits of Foldapuz-Unfolded are now in place, and it's all now nicely playable.

Over at Socoder, it's been decided that this year's Advent thing should be a creative one. Each day over Advent, users will be attempting to post fresh, new content, every day.

Further tweaks to the Unfolded part of the site. Things seem to be fairly functional now, and I took the time to jiggle the menu about a bit to make it more like the main page's layout. I'll have to remember to keep both list of games the same, in the future, though, and will also need to keep the little icons updated, too. *sigh* So much to keep track of. This whole thing's started to get a little large!

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 ...

Yesterday's task was to wake up early, prepare myself to manage the walk to the local Doctor's GP and back.

As I plan out my methodology for making 3DS themes, I'm hitting somewhat of a brick wall.

Finally got my theme approved, and in the time it took, I also added a Blockman Theme. You can find the JNKPlat Theme here, and the Blockman Theme here.

I took some time, last night, to finally have a proper look at making 3DS Themes.

Since the web-app has its own GUI along the top of the screen, I can't rely on the OS's pinch-to-zoom like I was hoping to.

Quite a productive night of Foldapuz tweaking last night.

Spent most of today trying to get multitouch pinch-to-zoom and scrolling to work. Bit of a pain in the arse, if I'm honest, although a lot of that is down to me trying to draw a scaled/cropped area of the Foldapuz page in the background. The doodle itself "seems" to be scaling properly, but the background keeps squishing and glitching, and ... RAWR!!

Frequent game reviewer RSKGames has posted a wonderfully lengthy review/Player Thoughts of the game, which you can read here. In addition, this site has posted thoughts in .. I think Spanish?! Not sure.. Google Translate suggests it's Spanish, and who am I to argue!? There's also this LetsPlay by Otakupunk. If you spot any more of JNKPlat 2018 in the wild, be sure to let me know so I can add it to this list. You can Download JNKPlat 2018 here, or at GameJolt or on itch.io

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 spent a fair amount of time, yesterday, working on a new feature for Foldapuz.

As I reached game #18 on Foldapuz, I realised that there's a very distinct possibility that I might yet manage to hit the current 62-game limit.

I did a major rewrite of the layout code, today, and it broke EVERYTHING!!! All "Yesterday's Solutions" are no longer valid for today, and all puzzles have been re-generated. The reason is so that the layouts can be expanded to MANY more puzzle types. Previously the Layout format was 8-characters, meaning you have up to 62 different puzzle types (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) Although I'm not 100% sure I'll ever reach that limit, I figured it was probably a good idea to bump that number a little, since...
