I've currently got the engine running with a level grid of 40x25, but the game can cope with any number of ratios, as long as the level data still fits within the confines of 1024 bytes.

As I start work on the editor's GUI, something's suddenly struck me.

I spent most of yesterday working my way up to the Editor, but not quite reaching it yet.

I think I'm probably over complicating things in my head, but the many different things I need to implement into a simple editor are getting quite silly, now!

(YouTube) Looks like some professors are starting to teach a crazy wild idea of coding a "Game-a-Week". Good luck to anyone tackling this.. But it's not sensible to keep yourself thinking in that mindset, though. After doing this for a decade, I find it VERY hard to work on anything longer, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a starting point in a career, nor would I suggest it's a good idea to be teaching and grading this sort of thing. It seems like it's a very dark road to...

The basics are coming together well enough, aside from the odd controller issues.

You might not have noticed, but in the 2018 Framework, the two main control schemes are ever so slightly different.

The best way to learn about the odd world of AGameAWeek is to try a few of the games out. Luckily, I've bundled together a set of 11 games into a neat package for Windows system. You can download the "Gold - 10 Years" bundle here, for Windows

The centipedes have returned. Bring out your balls.

I might end up delaying the game until tomorrow. After a weekend full of yucky flu conditions, the coding's been a little slower in pace.
