As the insane number of games increases, so does the mailbag! This week, let's take a look back at Hillside Conquest. You can Play Hillside Conquest in the Browsercade.

I have played Gorilla game in raylib games example, so I had an idea what to expect. Still I was surprised by the polish in ''Hillside Conquest'' implementation.

I've a "thing" working in Petit Switch. It's a nice swirly thing that I thought was going to end up like Gravity Bombs, but Petit Switch seems to be struggling at rendering 2000 lines, at various widths and alpha transparency, with physics and gravity involved in those lines, in order to make a pretty picture!!

The two tanks fall into line, and a battle commences. Tilt your gun, line up your shot, and destroy the enemy tank. Rather than being a simple "Destroy = 1 point" game, I've opted to add Arcade-style scores to this. Earn points for closer hits to your opponent's tank. Your score is also increased by how much health your own tank has remaining. You can Play Hillside Conquest in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Eagle Eyed viewers might've noticed that the Youtube trailer for Hillside Conquest went up about 5:30 this morning. The game is uploaded to Browsercade, and I'll be posting the posts in a jiffy. Meanwhile...

I forgot that, this week, I also figured out a nice way to get the QWERTY keyboard to pop up for both Hangman and Triplets in the Shoebox. There's now a little subtle [QWERTY]/[ABC] button that shows up in the top bar of the screen. Tap that to switch between the two keyboards. Oddly, I actually find the ABC keyboard easier to use, and that's really really odd!!

As the game collection builds, so does the wonderful amount of feedback from users. Let's dig deep into the mailbag and see who pops out, today! You can Play Isolation in the Shoebox, in the One on One games.

Isolation (Shoebox of Games): Played in both ''Adjacent to Opponent'' as well as ''Anywhere'' rule.

A strategic game of destruction! Move your piece to any adjacent tile. Next, REMOVE one of the tiles surrounding your opponent's piece. Players take it in turns until either player is stuck in a position where they can no longer move. You can Play Isolation in the Shoebox in the One On One section.

I've more or less got Isolation working, but haven't yet done the usual Logo/YouTube/etc, so that'll all be happening in the next hour or so. One that's done, I have to make a start on Monday's Browsercade game... .. eek!!

Saturday's Shoebox won't be Pool

(Amazing Behind-The-Scenes Peek!! : I use the playback of the screen capture, when taking these photos, and forgot to disable the bottom bar!!) Guide Platdude to the exit, whilst collecting as many blue spheres as he can from within the giant slot-machine! If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

5th September 2006, I started writing the SoCoder forum.. 13 years and a complete rewrite later, the site's still clinging onto its 1990's stylings, and is happy to be that way. Happy Birthday, SoCoder! SoCoder Newsletter #431

Need some rocks and circuit boards? Look no further than the latest JNKsg Generators. Rocks are kinda lumpy, but definitely aren't the best looking rocks in the universe. Circuit Boards are a little slow. I really need to figure out a quick and easy way to optimise those. Honestly, not the best update to the JNKsg site. Bah, humbug!
