The level above was created using the 3DS edition of the game. In fact, a whole 4 level pack was created, then swiftly backed up to the PC, in case anything breaks!! 4 Levels, and a successful first proper pack! I will, of course, need to create a few simpler packs for the start of the game, but this is a nice and complex level, and should be roughly the size of most of the levels in the game.

The level select menu is almost up to a usable state.

At some point, I need to start making some actual levels for the game.

This has been one heck of a long journey!!

Yesterday I continued to work on the Multi-Coloured Print exporting functionality on my PixelArt to STL tool.

Those blocks need shifting. Get back to work.

Don't expect much, it's just a retread of Quadoban, with nothing new added into the mix other than the levels!!

Amazing what a little hand-made data compression can do!!

I should probably have already known this, but taking 500 levels worth of data and cramming it directly inside the code of a 3DS game, seems to cause memory issues!!

Initial conception, and first test of printed foldable layout. The layout seems workable, and if I continue to make the puzzles in that aspect ratio it should be fairly functional as a pocketsized booklet. Left the idea to ferment for a week!!

Over on my site Socoder.net, we have a daily poll, and each day it gives you something to vote on, then the next day you get points based on whether you voted for the winning item on the poll. It's been there for many many years, now, and I'm starting to get a little sick of the sight of the bloomin' thing, but what could I possibly replace it with? The current leading idea is a doodle box, where the players are given a start point and a few colours, and the best art wins. But that then requi...
