The framework's looking quite stable, but there's no guarantees that it is! As such, I'm currently thinking of making February a full month of Flappadiddle 2. Each weekly release will be a slightly more fixed up edition of the game, and hopefully over the course of February, I can build the game up to a decent enough standard, and drag the Framework along with it. So.. That's the plan! February 2018 will be Flappadiddle2 Month!

A familiar set of spikes to dislike, and a nice variable path to follow. Next will be adding in other objects to play with!

People might look at the fact that I spent all day, yesterday, working on an "unrelated" Icon Resizer project, but the new framework needed a new version of the tool.

v1.0 of my new version of the Icon Resizer. Completely rewritten over the space of today. You can Download Icon Resizer 2 v1.0 here Icon Resizer 2 takes a selection of icons, at whatever sizes you CAN be bothered to make, and outputs a whole array of (mostly iOS) different sized icons that you can use in your games. With the addition of some Screenshots and your game's logo, the tool will also generate all manner of screenshot sizes, as well as generating a bunch of Banners and Headers and thing...

Since I'm having to deal with html-responses in a raw fashion, I'm seeing a few quirks in the way that the different servers send their replies.

I spent most of the night, switched off from coding, and instead watched a lot of YouTube stuff. Lots of complaining about YouTube's stupid new Ad-Revenue rules, meaning hundreds and thousands of vloggers are being hit hard. In addition, @Geekanoids is having a terrible time after a burst pipe caused oodles of damage to his Studio. In many ways, YouTube isn't the greatness it used to be, but annoyingly they've pretty much destroyed any and all competition, so people are stuck with it. ...

The scoreboard admin page has been "broken" for a long while.

The new server has a great virus-scanning feature, which blocks any downloads should the file contain any kind of possible dodgyness.

You'd be amazed how many errors have cropped up in the AGameAWeek script! The previous server was setup to display major errors onscreen, rather than logging them, but the new server logs EVERYTHING!!!

Our new server overlords have been chosen. AGameAWeek and Socoder now exist on a Kloudhost server.
