Guide Roland around the maze, using the many blocks to push his biscuits into an area he can eat them from.

I'm still not happy with the background for the Biscuit game. It's currently "Generic Starfield #1287894372", but I feel like I could possibly come up with something a bit more interesting. I'll be giving that a go, later.

Todo-list 1. Need some kind of background, although I'm not sure what that might be. 2. Need to add the online scores, which at this point will just be "Number of levels complete" 3. Need to add the tutorial to the first level. Otherwise, the game's nice and playable, and BOY can it be fiendishly difficult! (Either that or I'm just rubbish at it..)

Couldn't get to sleep, last night. The Level Layout grid was keeping me awake, as I considered how many alternative ways I could figure out the many possible sets of numbers.

After a bit of a chatter on this SoCoder thread, with help from Spinal and RSKGames, I eventually ended up with a spiral-based level selection. The main menu is now a big bunch of uninteresting looking squares. The middlemost square is initially unlocked, and as you complete levels, adjacent levels will unlock.

Yeah, the "After eating, go crazy!" stuff isn't working out. The two sections, puzzle vs arcade, are TOO different, and don't really work well together. Having it happen every single level just became repetitive, far too quickly.

SamuelAFalvoII on Twitter suggested something, yesterday. The biscuit game might be being tweaked as a result.

Added most of the animations, today, so everything's looking vaguely decent. Tonight/tomorrow will be designing a menu layout. I'm currently thinking of doing a grid, and unlocking surrounding levels. It'll be an easy enough way to do it, and I should probably try to come up with a reusable version of that sort of menu, to go into the Framework. Aaah, the joys of doing menus!!

As I continue to tweak the level generator, I've somehow managed to get it to make a few rare 3-biscuit levels. They're incredibly few and far between, but every 100 or so generated levels brings a 3-biscuit level to the forefront.

(YouTube) Apologies if anyone else is having issues with their virus checker, or other battles to get the game running.

Although I've now upgraded the level generator to handle more than 1 biscuit at a time, the maximum it seems to be able to make levels with is 2. After that, biscuits keep falling off the level, and the levels aren't completable. So, one or two biscuits at a time, but the levels are still kinda samey. Although the generator's coming up with nice and complex paths to get the biscuits, the end result is that you can complete the level much easier if you just ignore the complex path and do you...

What to add to the Biscuit game? Unsure of what else I can throw into the mix, I'm now instead considering just having a second and possibly third biscuit in the levels.
