Alan suggests.. Did you ever see Reiner Knizia's _Decathlon_ dice game? Go check it out on boardgamegeek. Not that you'd want to copy it wholesale, but you could get some inspiration for different ways to total dice. PDF of the rules, and a scoresheet.

This week's Shoebox game will be an amazingly wonderfully imaginative game like you've never seen before, ever in your life. Amazeballs!!!

A blank slate, this morning, as I try to come up with a Shoebox game to do. I did consider getting back to finishing off The Quest, but every time I look at the code, the whole thing seems to be larger in scope than I ever imagined it might be.

A fancy graphical doohickey turned into an action game! Hop over all of the blue Zyndotz in order to clear the level. Beware the Spikes, and watch out for that odd creature that shows up. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

The initial release, and it's working reasonably well. I've still got tons of important stuff to do, and I need to make the randomiser a little less random, and a bit more... pretty!! You can Play with the Titler here, in your browser, on Desktop, Tablet or Mobile. (probably too cramped on a phone, though!)

Crikey. A somewhat half-decent GUI. Look at me, with the fancy Javascripting!!

Spent most of today working on this. Now the side-panel is no longer an "Everything all at once" panel, and is instead a series of tabs that you have to flick your way through. This means I can now fill each tab with different elements and GUI bits and pieces. Next is all the mouse/touch stuff on the main display, to let you slide and rotate and scale the elements. ... AAAAARRRRGH!!!!

All of the letters in a single column can be changed to the same letter in order to create a different set of words. Can you decide which column, and what letter should be used? You can Print out a sheet, here or alternatively Play it in your Browser.

Michael Fernie emailed yesterday to tell me that Gamepad support wasn't working in the latest Browsercade game. Bah..

Defeat the enemies with your super ray-gun. But keep an eye on your energy levels. You can Play Energy Warrior in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Making a start on Part Two of the recent project, I've opted to make this version a desktop app, as it gives me a teensy bit more functionality.
