This took WAY longer than expected.
Step one, compile the Windows exe.
Click.
Job done.

Today's long, long, long day of development was 100% iOS related.
Having put it off entirely yesterday, I figured I'd better port that level builder doohickey.
I opened TextEdit on the Mac, copied the level builder function from BlitzMax, and set about converting it, line by line, to something that XCode would compile for iOS.
800 lines of code, an estimate of "should only take a few hours, surely!" and then a completely exhausted Jay who just about managed to get the thing working...

I should've spent today doing more iDev.
I didn't.
Already I'm looking at the iDev stuff, and going "uuugh..."
Try again tomorrow.

When I launched the original demo of NeonPlat Adventures, way way way way way back in September, I made a complete backup of the game, code and everything.
I thought it might be fun to look at it, and the progress it's made, by release date.
To be honest, I'd mostly forgotten I did that.

Oh yeah, iDev annoys the shit out of me..
Never mind, carry on.

Coming up shortly, Jay attempts to reconstruct his level construction gubbins, one line at a time.

I wasn't aiming to do the Final Beta until about Wed/Thursday this week.
Today, the Final Beta went out.
A few days early, but there was nothing more I could come up with.
The game is done.

For a while, today, you started the game with 8 lives instead of just 5.
Then a few people on Twitter suggested I should put it back.
If you can't complete it, don't blame me

And I've still got a todo-list as long as my leg!!!
If I want a few people to beta-test the final-ish edition, that's gotta be done by about Wednesday, I think.
So, I have about 5 days or so to get everything done, now.
After that, hope for the best, and get everything bundled for the coming Sunday.

Before I headed off to work, I made a new little video.
Or, rather, I tried to make a "little" video, yet it inexplicably ended up at over 300Mb!!!
WHAAA!?!?
So, with an approximate 450 Minutes remaining on the clock, I left for work, and the upload continued.

I'm sitting here trying to come up with a multitude of silly Badges/Accomplishments/Awards, and inexplicably getting nowhere.
Not sure why.
I DID have a list.
I think it might've vanished during my iOS upgrade sessions.

I think I'm full of the evil man-flu..

Spent last night in a strange awakened stupor, and then spent a good 5 hours completely zonked out.
eek!
I got a few bits and pieces done last night, though, so that's ok

And I'll be doing nothing again, today.

What I mean is, I don't have a great big 12 item checklist to do, and I won't be struggling to type by the end of the day!!

I've done a LOT of work since yesterday.
All 50 hats are in, 50 chrs are in, and I've stripped out a whole bunch of annoying quirky bugs.
There's one really annoying "Got stuck again" issue that I need to weed out, but I can't figure out the best way to do it, so I'll point it out in the beta tomorrow, for those who are getting it.
SPOILER ALERT

Gah!
Extra hats today!
I now need about 3 hats, and annoyingly I think I might need an extra bunch of baddies, which also means more hats!
D'oh!

Tonight, I started implementing a few of the hat suggestions, from a couple of days ago.
This really is a mad dash, at this point, as I desperately try to get hats and badges all bundled into the game's code, ready for the Friday beta.
There's still going to be masses of things missing from Fridays beta, like a Game Over screen, and an Adventure Complete! thing.. stuff like that.
But for the most part, yet again, this will be a nice release candidate.

Today's been total utter chaos.
I wrote a bunch of little Badges (Awards?!) the other day, so I've spent today trying to wrangle the code together so that they actually work.
See inside for some oddly missing information.

First up, be aware that these aren't working yet, so the bit where one of the achievements would appear to be mostly impossible without the others, is actually down to the fact that they're 6 items apart, and nothing to do with anything that's been earned yet!!!
.. having said that, here's the first screenshot of the Achievement table that I've been working on, today.

Every character, when caught in a bubble and collected, can be "worn" like a "hat".
(They don't look like hats, but that's what I started calling them, and that's what I'll continue to call them!)
Each hat will give the NeonPlat a special skill, allowing him to do all manner of wonderous things.
The run through so far includes ball throwing, ice throwing, flower throwing, drop through the floors, hop in the air, shield, and many more.
Today, I added "Multiplier x2" an...

Saturday's my "At work for a while" day, so I usually get a lot less codey time done, but I still managed quite a few bits and pieces in the morning.
A couple of new baddies, and a teensy bit of AI are in there, as is something which may or may not be confusing, depending on whether you remember the 7 year old oddity or not.
Suffice to say, the bananas do definitely appear to be coming from below the arrow.
.. not sure what that's all about..

5 more, today! woot! That's 42 little animated characters I've popped into the game, now! (43 if you count NeonPlat!)
50?
Looking entirely possible at this point!
And I've done 8 backgrounds, now, too, so we'll probably want another 2 of those.

On Tuesday, things had started to go annoyingly slowly..
That part where the number of bug fixes grossly outweighs the number of fun happy additions you can be enjoying adding to your game.
But I did a lot of fixes on Tuesday!

1. Drew new baddies.
2. Tweaked level generator.
3. Made Ducky-Turret's weapon a bit more visible.
4. I also took another 6 items off my todo list, but I can no longer remember what they were, since I've removed them from my list!
