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!

After each week's release, players submit their thoughts on the games. Let's have a look and see what @RSKGames thought of Space Battle! You can Play Space Battle in the One-On-One section of the Shoebox.

@RSKGames

Played Space battles for some time and thanks to a lenient AI I was able to win most of the times.

Watch me fumble my way through the Shoebox, in this brand new Shoebox of Games Youtube Playlist!! That's taken about 4 hours in total.. Capturing, uploading, editing the info, then dumping them all into a playlist. This probably isn't all that interesting, if I'm honest, but I figured it was about time I started making basic, regular use of my Youtube channel.

I've dumped a bunch of videos on YouTube for the PetitSwitch games. I've set up a Petit Switch playlist, and am going to attempt to keep to that with future releases. But what of everything else?

In this game, each square's value is the distance from Square Zero, counting steps towards the target. Try your best to triangulate the approximate position of the target square. You can Play Far Away here, or simply wait for it to show up in amongst the daily Foldapuz selection.

Clickity for Biggity Nearly 2 games a week.. So very, very close!! Since I'm only 4 games away from 52, I can probably do another week and a half of games, then take the rest of the year off!! Aaaand! Relax!!

An epic battle begins. Blast away your opponent's spaceships, before they do, yours! Place your ships in the grid, then try to guess where your opponent's ships are placed. You can Play Space Battle in the One-On-One section of the Shoebox.

There's rain outside. \o/yeay\o/ That means I should be able to code, today!!

It's gotten a teensy bit cooler, tonight, and I've been able to get some coding done! The "ingame GUI" for Space Battle isn't looking awful... And that's as good as you're going to get I might fix up that explosion graphic to make it a bit more "Stand out'y", but otherwise things are definitely a bit more playable. I've added "double tap" to the controls, like with Atoms. I think that's probably the best bet when dealing with t...

*phew* Heatwave in the UK. The poor cat's lying on the threshold of the back door, trying to stay in the shade of the house, whilst hoping for a bit of a breeze from outside. I'm sat with a fan blasting in my face, and all in all, not much is getting done in the coding department! I did attempt to do a bit of music, but the sound of the fan drowned everything out! Nothing good is happening, gamedev wise, today..

I played about an hour of Mario Maker 2, yesterday, and got far enough to reach that annoyingly frustrating control issue that's been irritating me for decades.

I've done an alarming amount of work on this GUI today, and .. *shrugs* Doesn't look any bloomin' different to how it did, this morning!!

I tried to get this week's Shoebox game done, yesterday, but with so much GUI based stuff to do.. .. My head went "No, I'm sick to death of doing GUIs, this week!!" and decided to shut down. I'm going to push ahead and try again, today. If not, we'll have to abandon the Shoebox release for this week, because I'm not really sure that any game I make, will fit my head's current need to do something other than yet another GUI driven thing!
