Pogo's life is intruded by a barrage of rebellious fruit. Squish them to death!!

A couple of days ago, I posted this short "Trailer Template". (YouTube) @RSKGames has commented! A bit more information text message in the video about the number of levels and goal of the game would have been nice.

Having spent a good few hours wrangling the object/baddie spawning, I've finally settled on a playable game.

Last month, I subscribed to the ZenPop Ramen selection. The box appears, then over the coming weeks, I review each of the noodles. Last month's collection can be found in this SoCoder Thread, but I figured it might be something entertaining to crosspost here, too. Noodle Eight

I tested this week's game on 3DS, last night, and it's all manner of slow, hitting 20 fps quite often for no apparent reason.

It's been a long time since I did regular Trailers and Videos and things, but I've decided to attempt it with the new setup. A trailer-esque thing for last week's game. Thoughts/suggestions are, as always, welcome.

As I continue my trek through all the old blog posts, fixing up links and tracking down old images and things, I've noticed a rather worrying thing. Any and all quotes, from old blog posts, seem to have completely vanished from the database. I'm digging through old archived SQL backups, but I can't seem to find the quotes.

During level generation, I usually set walls/floors to "1", and then pad things out around those 1's. Yesterday, I struggled to figure out why enemy placements were so very few and far between, until I realised that I was randomising the floor tiles between 1 and 6. The enemies were only appearing atop the rare 1 floor tiles. *tsk* silly me.

Yesterday I got the majority of the Fridge elements into place. The fruit is squishable, the milk is drinkable, and the levels continue for a certain length, and then end abruptly.

Struggling to get all the backups, installs and more, that a new Laptop requires, I'm going to have to skip this week. Again.. How many skipped weeks is that, now!? Sorry! Still, it gives me enough time to come up with a slightly better artistic style for the Fridge Hopping game. A nice background, maybe?! Fancy!! I should also be able to add some nice pickups and things, and hopefully make the game a fun enjoyable adventure. .. Maybe!

No coding, last night, as I realised I didn't have any of my iOS Backups on the new laptop. The whole process isn't as scary as it once was, and iTunes is gradually learning to behave itself over the decade or so since I started using it. But it's still slow as crap..

I still have half the game to code. I've no logo, no audio, no icons, no screenshots. Things look rather bland and repetitive. And it's already Sunday Morning. Eeek!

I haven't really got a goal in mind for this game, yet, and it's currently just a case of "Keep going, and avoid the gunfire". It's quite fun to play, but there's no real sense of accomplishment. Tonight and tomorrow will hopefully bring that into place. Additionally, I'll probably give the player a health bar, since 3 lives really don't last very long in this game!!

Enemy and Item spawning are now functioning, but I've yet to add any bullets to the strawberry's gun.
