Oh dear, this game's hard! You can attempt to play Beleaguered Castle Solitaire in the Shoebox in amongst the card games.

Yeah, that did the trick.. The Shoebox now clutters your browser history! I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to remove the hundreds of references that are built up as you navigate through the games, but .. For now, at least, the Back Button on Android should now behave as you'd expect it to. Hurray!

I can't fathom this stuff out!

As the Shoebox continues to build, more and more and more comments are incoming! I've literally had more comments to the blog in the past couple of months than I have in the past decade!!

Olympic sprinters don't need to break the tape by exact footstep *imagines 100 Marathon sprinters stopped right at the end of a race, all trying to roll a 6 to win*

So, the Shoebox now has Level capabilities.. That's nice! I'm tempted to add something like Quadoban, or maybe a Kee-Bo-Ard, but that would definitely be crossing the border between physical and arcade.. I might need to come up with some way to mesh the styles together, somehow, and create a brand new sort of game. Hmm..

New game added to the Shoebox! You can find Flipped Puzzle in the Extras section.

A fairly large update, this morning, as I'm fairly confident that the caching is now working like it oughta.

I added that function for good reason, and Alan seems determined to make me use it!!

Al overshot the goal and starting going backwards. Is that correct? I think so.! This is something that I added to Snakes and Ladders, as it's been a rule we've always played at home, and since Board of Spikes is more or less a clone of Snakes and Ladders, I opted to leave that rule in. If that wasn't the case, then there's be no need to use a specific card to end the game. I felt that was more important than just letting the player use any card th...

All previous links will still work, and nothing should be broken by the HUGE change in Shoebox, since the new domain simply links to the same files in the same folder, and all the file access is relative. ShoeboxOfGames.com now exists! I bought the domain a couple of days ago, but only got around to setting it up properly, late last night. A more or less simple addition to the overall chaos of AGameAWeek.

A nice and quick game for today. Battle against AL or a friend, in this flipping strategy game. You can Play Reversi in the Shoebox, where you'll find it under the Misc games.

As the Shoebox grows, so the feedback flows! You can Play the Shoebox of Games here.

Today I played Board of spikes and Ludo in android mobile. This is the first time I am playing shoebox of games in mobile and I found it to be a very good experience. Took a little bit of effort to place the ludo pieces initially but then it became easier.

I think my head wants to have a play with a "Normal" AGameAWeek game.

Cordova can be a right pain, at times, but I'm finally starting to wrangle it into a suitable amount of functionality.

A simple Snakes'n'Ladders style game, using cards. Use one of the cards from your hand to select how many spaces you'll move. If you land on a Spike, turn it over to see what will happen. You'll either end up moving forwards or backwards, so lets hope that luck is on your side. You can Find 'Board of Snakes' in the Board Games of the Shoebox.
