I did that thing again, where I go "Hey, if I write the entire newsletter on a Wednesday Night, instead of saving half of it until Thursday Morning, I get more time on a Thursday Morning to code!!" .. And then did that thing where I spend all night writing the newsletter, don't get to sleep until stupid-o'clock, and then don't manage to wake up until after 12. D'oh!

Idigidragon's getting a remake on Switch, this week.

SpikeDislike was my "Test if I can.." game for PetitCom4, and as good as it was, I felt it wasn't 100% what it could've been. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key... 424JQK3NJ

Four 8 letter words have been made into a crossword. Use the letters provided to complete the words. You can Print out a sheet full of these puzzles, here, or alternatively Play the game in your browser, here.

I have a vague idea for the sort of game I'd like to make for Petit Switch, this week, but cramming it into a couple of days might not help it. I also need to get those pockets working on the Pool game, and then get that fully formed for a (hopefully) Saturday release. Not much more going on that that, if I'm honest. *shrugs* Keep on Coding!

This week, a redux of the game I made for Petit Switch, last week. Blast all of the "Stars" away, with your trusty tins of exploding paint! You have 3 explosions, so use them wisely. (You earn 1 extra explosion every time you eradicate all 10 stars) You can Play Stars That Burst here, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

The reproduction of Interplanetary Paintbox/Paintshop (!) is almost done, but the stars aren't quite right, yet.

Over on this particular Smile Basic community forum, the admins finally (after me whinging about it!) added in an option to let people submit games made for the new Switch edition of Petit Computer.

In reply to my earlier thoughts on "blurred" backgrounds, Alan suggests.. Probably requires opengl wizardry. I need to study up on this a bit myself. And he's probably right..

The game is still on schedule. .. ... Just not the same schedule it was on, yesterday!
