Step one, design (and/or copy+paste from previous editions!) a logo and icon for the game. Step two, start writing game. Step three, realise I'm a long way from being ready to start writing the game!!

The traditional Word Wheel. Try to find as many anagrams as you can, ensuring that each word contains the central letter. There's one complete word in the wheel. Can you find it? You can Try out Word Wheel here or wait for it to show up in regular Foldapuz selections.

I was almost certain I was near the end of the Browsercade Framework, but .. Nope.. There are still things to do!

As each game is released, players like RSKGames and <insert name here> send oodles of feedback for about the game. Let's see how they all thought about Dots and Squares! You can Play Dots and Squares in the Shoebox in the One on One section.

Playing in the mobile, I find that sometimes I connect the wrong dots but in PC with mouse it works fine.

I *think* I'm almost ready to start coding my first Browsercade game.

The good old game that you used to secretly play at the back of the classroom! You can Play Dots and Squares in the Shoebox, in the One On One area.

I managed to rewrite most of my little PetitSwitch Sprite Editor, yesterday, but there's still a few missing features that need reintegrated. Though, if I'm honest, I never actually used those features.. So I might be lazy and say "Job Done"!

Petit Switch is mostly faultless, but there's one slight quirk that tripped me up, yesterday. When you save your code, you hit Ctrl+S, then it flashes up "Are you sure you want to save 'Project/main.prg'?" and then you hit OK, and it says "Are you REALLY sure you want to save 'Project/main.prg?'", and then you hit OK and then it saves.

Don't think of this as Pong. It isn't Pong. It's NOT Pong! If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

1. Not Pong is going to be my game for Petit Switch, this week. 2. Dots and Squares will be this week's Shoebox game. Todo-List. For Not Pong, I need to add a decent amount of sparkle and loveliness, but the basic gameplay's up and running. Dots and Squares needs a better AL-AI. He's currently only looking at each square on it's own, so often says "This square only has one line, I'll add a line", but is inadvertently placing that line at a point that makes a third line on ...

1. Finish off this week's Petit Switch game. (Not Pong) 2. Get started on a Shoebox game. (Unknown!) 3. Try to figure out the mod-pausing issue in Browsercade. 4. Post the week's SoCoder Newsletter. 5. Post the week's ALChoon, which also requires setting up a new ALBum page. I hate Thursdays!!

Looks much better!! I'm now struggling with pausing the music when you alt+tab, or otherwise multitask away from the browser. I seem to have got it working on iPad Safari (which is alarmingly unusual!) and Firefox, but not in Chrome or Edge. The Pause screen's coming up, but the pause command doesn't appear to be triggering the pause event in the mod player. Bit odd, but I think I've probably confounded my own code a bit, so will be double checking everything to be sure. But, yeah, ...

Taking the options menu directly from Shoebox, and shoving it into Browsercade, it becomes instantly noticeable how much better the thing looks when you add an icon or two. ... .. or even just one!
