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.

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.

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.

Unless my mind turns to mush again, I'm fairly confident that I should be able to finish the Spike Boardgame thing, today.

Player "Cristo" has submitted four lovely level packs for JNKPlat. You can either find them in the Online Levels section of the game, or grab them here if you need to download them manually (eg 3DS).

Still on a bit of a go-slow, here. It doesn't help that the weather's been absolutely gorgeous over the past few days, so much so that the need to sit and relax in the sunshine has taken precedence over standard coding duties.

Amazing how much a funeral hits you. I spent all day yesterday sitting about, playing Smash Bros, watching various YouTube things, and generally not really bothering to do any sort of coding whatsoever. Maybe today will be more productive?

Meanwhile..

Over on the Testing the Width post..

Just my opinion, but the individual cards could use a tiny bit more margin. I prefer the top picture. Not because of the aspect ratio of the cards themselves, but because it has a...

Seems my head wasn't quite ready to get back into an all-day coding session like I was aiming for.

Issue : The cards take up a curious amount of space. I'm currently trying to find the best way to display both the game board, and a hand of cards, without it being silly..

Right, I was halfway through the "Extra" card, wasn't I.. Maybe some kind of quick board game that makes use of those? I had considered doing a Snakes and Ladders style game but with cards for movement, so .. Yeah, I think I might attempt something like that, today.
