Spent some time on a couple of side-projects yesterday, both of which turned out rather nicely.

Since I got the MacBook Air, the speakers have been kinda crappy. Yesterday I'd had enough, and headed to The Amazon for a quick fix.

Sidetracked, once more, I decided to start a new drawing tool, yesterday. In many ways, it's quite similar to the Symbol Tool in GotoJSE, except it's even more simplistic!

Michael Fernie emailed this morning suggesting a game that would fit into the Shoebox.

Blast waves of enemies as you fly in circles around the oddly cylindrical planet. You can Play Orret Cha in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

It took a couple of hours of code-tweaking to make a proper start on them last night, but I've finally made the first 10 or so levels in the JNKPlat Switch edition.

There are still a few things I need to rejig to get the site up to a state that I'm completely happy with.

The other day, I asked Dall-E to come up with a few layout suggestions for the site, and in amongst it's four different outputs, the top left one peaked my interest. The idea of reducing EVERYTHING down to little boxes seemed kind of ideal, as far as squeezing a little more stuff into a page.

I can vaguely think straight, this morning!

That heatwave isn't helping!!

After finishing off Hello Worlds, I moved back to working on the Switch JNKPlat.

Our intrepid adventurer has stumbled upon a system full of stars. Fly through the cosmos and pick up the stars before time's up. You can Play this game in your browser, where it's been written in BASIC!

Woke up to the most wonderful email in the world!

I've written the ladder code a hundred times or more, but last night it just wasn't behaving correctly.

I stayed up until after midnight to watch the season finale of Star Trek : Strange New Worlds last night.

So, I ordered the keyboard for the Switch, and it was due between 12 and 2pm.

Ordered a new keyboard from Amazon, late last night.

Aaaah, What a nice relaxing day..

A couple of days later, and I finally managed to access my own level data!

Put all your blocks on the pads to light them up, in this latest iteration of the crazily complicated puzzle game. You can Play this game in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

If Wednesday was a frantic rush to get the week's ALChoon done, Thursday was the polar opposite.

Yesterday went a bit crazy!!

.. I think.. I need to test it first, though, to be sure.

OK, the calendar now at the very least works!

The classic game of guessing. How many cards can you get on a run? You get two points for a pair, in this game! You can Play the game in the Shoebox, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Feels a lot like spending a day drawing a rainbow!

Squeezing in the numbers, yesterday. Yikes!
