The credits screen of Shoebox is now much more of a credits screen again.

OK, time to replace that Credits screen. I don't like it..

I didn't even bother giving it a proper name!! You already know what this game is. You can Play Shoebox of Games here, and you'll find Match-3 alongside Same Game, in the Extras section.

Yesterday I had submitted 2 comments on the blog with link to 2 pictures I had uploaded in socoder. Hmm.. Well, I suppose that's probably my over-reactive Spam control in action, which perma-deletes anything that looks even slightly dodgy. (eg, URLs and things like that) I imagine that all the _'s and brackets in the text also probably added to the trigger-count, which would've ended up blocking your comment from even getting to the comment bin. Sincere apologies for tha...

I spent most of yesterday doing some techy reading, and planning ahead for Shoebox's future.

Not really sure where yesterday's Strings game came from! I wasn't expecting to code anything at all, but I think my Sunday Day-Off left me clambering to code something.

A new game has appeared in the Shoebox. ..Not sure how well this one will go down! You can Play Shoebox of Games here. You'll find Word Tubes amongst the Word games.

Played a few times and managed to beat the AI half the times. Only weird thing I noticed is that when player wins sometimes both the orange and some blue pieces nearby seem to animate. Indeed. The flashing is done by the AI. Where the AI sees a possible win, it triggers the flashing, and occasionally it bleeds through into weird areas.

The "Four in-a Row" AL has been upgraded a little, this morning. It's not "Evil", and can still be beaten every other game, but it's making less mistakes than it was, earlier. Not a complete rewrite of the AI, but a fairly significant redoing of the way that the AI finds a final placement.

I've never had to wear a wrist strap, before, but the sheer agony in my wrist, yesterday, was on a whole other level.

Honestly, I might rest a bit, today. It is Sunday, after all.

Mere hours after his first appearance, and Michael Fernie's relative (Rebecca) has submitted the first FanArt of the Shoebox's AI buddy, AL. Absolutely awesome! Thank you, Rebecca!

This morning, I posted a picture with Greenie at the side of the Four in-a Row board, and wondered if I should attempt to integrate Greenie into the game, somehow.
