Started work on a generic platformer for Browsercade, yesterday, making good use of the new parallax background code.

A simple enough solitaire game.
13 piles are placed onto the table, with any Kings being pushed to the bottom of the pile.
You can shuffle the cards around the table, one at a time, placing a card onto a card one-higher, as long as it is NOT of the same suit.
eg, you can place a Nine of Diamonds on top of a Ten of Hearts, Clubs or Spades, but NOT onto a Ten of Diamonds.
The four foundation piles work as standard, and must be increased from Ace to King in the same suit.
Your task,...

The plan
Since the Pool game is still looking way too far away from completion, I opted to make another quick interim game.
Chess!
The Reality
Two and a half days into chess, with everything flowing wonderfully well, I started to tackle the AI, and adding the main rules in, like Checkmates, and things like that.
The Result

Pool Progress..
Blog
17th October 2019
Yesterday I decided, enough's enough.
It's time to get on and finish that Pool game once and for all, and stop faffing about with 100 or so sideprojects to take my mind off it..
How'd I do?

This week's PetitSwitch game has been decided on, and is already half coded!
A few additional spike paths, some points, and maybe a couple of different themes, and all should be good to go for Thursday night.

Foldapuz 52!
Blog
15th October 2019
Last night's Foldapuz game is the 52nd game on the site.
I'm quite happy with that number, as it's quite literally AGameAWeek!
Other fun numbers
52 games, 8 puzzles each per day = 416 puzzles every single day.
7 days = 2,912 puzzles each week.
365 days = 151,840 puzzles every single year!
Blimey!! That's a lot of puzzles.
I've a few nips and tucks to do to the new version of the site, but .. For now at least, it's a little more usable than the previous ...

Foldapuz - Snake
Blog
14th October 2019
Track down the snake's location. It exists between the 1 and the higher value.
The snake winds its way through the grid, but won't ever rub against itself, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. (eg, there's always a gap around it.)
You can Print a page full of Snake here, or Play Snake in your browser, here.

Shoebox - Bottoms Up
Blog
11th October 2019
Build a tower from the bottom, up.
Take turns placing girders, with the length defined by the roll of a dice.
If you complete a level, you earn a point.
The player with the most points, once the tower is complete, is the winner.
You can Play Bottoms Up in the Group Games of the Shoebox.

There are nine stars in the sky. Can you find them all?
Each star is on it's own row, column, and within it's own bordered area.
You can Print out a sheet full, Play in your Browser, or wait until the game pops up as part of your regular Foldapuz collection.

I'm pretty sure I coded it right, but the scoring on this week's Shoebox game doesn't seem to be working at all, when played in Party Mode.

Code Reuse
9th October 2019
Pogo the Fridge on Switch has ended up being quite a lot more playable than the original game.
Switching to an screen-based style of gameplay, instead of the scrolling of the original, and with the addition of an actual goal (Squish all the fruit!) the game's really a lot better than the original.
.. I think!!
Maybe!

Fridge?

Started work on a quick Pogo The Fridge remake on Petit Switch, last night.

Would there be any interest in me doing a version for Browsercade, too?
I'm kinda tempted to, but it'd mean having two Pogo The Fridge's on the top bar, and I'm trying to avoid doing that.

Some games are great.
Others, not so great.
RSKGames takes a look at a game that isn't very good.
You can Play Disk O' Green in the browsercade, but there are better selections available.
@RSKGamesPlayed Disk O' Green today and understood what you have mentioned about the maze generation issues yesterday. Found too many dead ends which leads to losing too many lives in many cases.Views 86, Upvotes 20
