I asked @CraigGrannell last night if the "swoopy" menus were a bit too much for his motion sickness issues, and he replied that it was..
For me, a bit, yeah.
I thought as much when I added those Tap Swoopy things, but it's good to get a little confirmation.

Crossword Golf
Game
14th May 2019
Upon each move of this classic Tile-based word game, a computer opponent will set a "Par" target.
Try to score as close to the target as you can, in order to earn the most points. Your score will be based on how close to the target you get, rather than the value of your words. Views 184, Upvotes 29

Alan Suggests..While I'm thinking about it, one nice-to-have feature for Crossword Game would be ''shuffle my rack''. Sure, ok, why not!Views 114, Upvotes 31

Not really a game, but if I'm going to make this collection, you just know that this has to go in.
You can Find Score My Words in the Shoebox, in the Extras section.

I've sorted out RSKGames' menu scrolling issue.. .. I think.. But obviously will depend on many "browsers aren't exact" issues.
Be sure to let me know if it's ok for you.

Score My Words
Game
13th May 2019
Note : Not a Game
This is a tool to aid in the playing of Real World Scrabble. You can use this to add up word values, keep track of scores, and it even has minimal word checking integrated, too. This tool works great when run on a board-side tablet device. You might also like to use HDMI/AirPlay/ChromeCast to stream the gameplay to your TV, at which point you can then stream it online, if you're that sort of player. Views 156, Upvotes 40

The Top Row
Blog
13th May 2019
RSKGames says..The animation of the icons on transition from main menu to sub menu and back looks cool. Except the board games sub menu in all other sub menus the first row icons are way over the top such that half the icon is hidden above. Took me a while to figure out exactly what he meant, as the exact number of onscreen icons relies on all sorts of screen resolution gubbins.. .. But..Views 165, Upvotes 35

Crossword Fixings
Blog
12th May 2019
A couple of tweaks to the engine before I move on into other Crossword based things.
1. I've finally got the "Score value bubble" looking a little more like a bubble, and showing up at the end of words instead of seemingly at random!
2. Tap to Play "should" now work, but is still a small threshold of "tap".
I might have to add the threshold into the option screen.. .. If I ever bother to make an option screen!!

Tabs
Blog
12th May 2019
There are now tabs along the bottom of the menu, when you're selecting a game, to let you quickly switch between the various sections of the site.
The icons are reused as tabs, and are drawn with their bottoms chopped off, so they look better on the screen, and don't take up a giant chunk from the bottom of the menu.
For the most-part, I've tried to make this part of the code easily tweakable, so that in future I can add extra sections. However, it might get a bit cramped if I do that...

Buttons in Boxes
Blog
11th May 2019
I've shrunk the overall width of the menu buttons on Shoebox.
For now, this means there's a little more space in the menu, to fit more games onscreen at once.
Maybe later I'll try to add little tabs along the bottom, but .. for now.. SleepyJay is taking over!!
Be sure to let me know what you think of the slightly modified buttons.
Better, Worse or .. Kinda the same, Jay, you wasted hours doing naff all!!

Today's Plan..
Blog

I'm still not sure on the best layout for the frontend of the Shoebox.
I do like the circular bubbly thing, but there seems to already be way too much scrolling with only 5 games in a section.
Give me a year of working with this framework, and there'll be a lot more than 5! (Hopefully!)
So, the frontend definitely needs a rethink, but I'm not really sure what kind of layout WOULD work for it all.
