After the sheer failure of yesterday's audio-tweaks, my mind seemed to completely give up in frustration.

Hmm.. Browser incompatibilities fail me again!!

There are an awful lot of elements that it would be great to add to the Shoebox framework, but first a few additional framework chunks need to be integrated.

The trip to the Diabetes Doc went pretty smoothly.

During the course of making Shoebox of Games, I'm sure there'll be plenty of feedback. If you want to get a mention, you can send feedback either in the comments, via Twitter, via email, or any other method you can think of that includes me receiving the feedback!

I have to head off into town, today, to have a diabetes checkup.

The classic "hop over to remove" solitaire game is now part of the Shoebox. It's a simple enough game. Leap either horizontally or vertically over another counter, to remove it from the board. Your task is to remove all but one counter from the board. I wasn't aiming to make this game, but figured it would be a nice showcase for the Board functions. As always, give it a try wherever you can, and be sure to let me know how you get on with it. You can Play ShoeBox here. Leapfrog is in...

Stumbled upon a fascinating website, last night. TimePix.uk shows old Ordnance Survey photos from in and around the Greater Manchester area. If you can pinpoint the OS grid reference for your house, you can flick through a selection of their photos.

As the board game engine slowly builds (really bloomin' slowly, this has been one heck of a challenge!!) I can now move "pieces" in and around the board. It currently isn't a lot, and there's little or no rules, but it is at least functional. Now to figure out why the whole thing scrolls so slowly at certain points.. Hmmm...

Today I'll be tackling the actual functionality of the new Board functions.

I'm now fairly happy with the way the generic board is scrolling and zooming on my iPhings, but the desktop version needs a lot more work.

I've started work on a universal board-drawing function that should hopefully allow me to add a number of different board games into Shoebox.

Did you notice the change in the Letter Bubbles, yesterday? I bet you didn't!!
