I guess that Covid Jab hit me, after all.

Well, at least I woke up at a half decent time, today.

I think we'll call today a fail as far as coding goes.

Today is "Covid Vaccine Jab 2" day. If it's anything like the last stab, I'll be completely out of order, tomorrow!!

Seems everyone's willing me to make a bland and boring automated dice-rolling mechanic!!

As I struggled to come up with a nice "Dice battle" methodology, the thought occurred that the enemy could just kill you..

I struggled again to get the BODMAS working again, yesterday.

No excuses, Jay. Get back to coding!

Gather up the stars amongst the garden, as you try your best to avoid the ever deadly spikes. If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

You know those days when you DO a lot, but don't actually accomplish anything?!

The todo list reduces as the week draws to a close..

A lot of rejigging, but eventually I got...

Don't be fooled. This game is Not Pong. You can Play Not Pong in the Browsercade, in your browser, on desktop, mobile or tablet.

"How about that whole AGameAWeek thing, Jay?"

Bow Wow, Platdude Bob!!!!000!!!

I haven't yet coded the functionality of the Sprite Editor, and instead have chosen to work on its data compression...

It's all well and good writing a language, but what about the regular games?!

JSE's coming along at a measured pace, and as with all things, SpikeDislike will be my test.

I took a huge chunk out of the RPN code, yesterday, and sat rewriting it all.

Late last night, over on SoCoder, Hobo asked how to replicate a tilemap system that isn't obviously tilemapped.

Yesterday I spent most of the day battling with Scales. I added my first "sprite" to the JSE engine, and things went downhill from there!

The path is spawning, and the spikes are preparing to kill you. Roll your ball safely through the maze, without falling off. If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

By this point, I've completely lost track of what day I'm up to.

Yesterday's plan seemed perfect.

Our hero is up at the top, but the base of the polls is the best place to be. Hop between the poles to avoid the spikes on the way down. You can Play the game in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Took some time to work on the basic UI for JSE, yesterday.

Weeee!!
