Hacking 3DS Hacking is fun!!

Seems that, as I panic to generate content for the SoCoder Advent of Creativity, my goto thing to create is additional games for Foldapuz!

Read More

Added Slitherlink. It's a fairly standard puzzle game, but it's honestly not one I can manage to complete myself! Still, they generate well enough, and the solutions aren't always exact, so there's a bit of variety involved in the outcome.

Draw one large looping line touching various points on the grid. The numbers show how many of the sides of each box are filled with part of the loop.

I added yet another game to the Fold, last night. Multi Box

Added Multi Box, a grid of numbers and their products. Simply decide which numbers don't belong in the grid and cross them out.
There should be 3 numbers in each row and column, along with their product.

The number of puzzles in the engine is now reaching a point where each of the categories can have it's own set of puzzles on the default sheet.
No longer does the default Maths sheet contain a few Word games, and Word sheets don't have random Logic puzzles in them.
There's still the occasional inclusion of the "Extra" games (Doodle and Find a Way) but there's now 8 word puzzles, 6 maths ones and 7 logic, more than enough to completely fill each day's sheet without the need to pluck from the other categories.

23 games in total!
Eeek!

Which project?
The one I started yesterday, obviously!!

Yesterday's new Foldapuz addition went alarmingly smoothly.
.. I should've known that wasn't a good sign.

Added Tartan and Polkadot to add a few more repeating pattern options.

The Polkadot generator has a couple of really nice options to generate some lovely repeating textures, which can be great for menu backgrounds and the like.

Added Find The King, which is another little Chess based puzzle.
The enemy have swarmed, and are doing really alarmingly well, and you're down to your last piece.
Your King is somewhere on the board, but where can he possibly be?

Incidentally, this is the game I previously had in mind, here.

I spent about 80% of yesterday choosing a font!

I spent near enough all day, yesterday, fighting the fight with Emscripten.

I spent most of yesterday struggling to get the Pixelart2STL tool to have a lovely 3D WebGL representation of the model, so that I can then upgrade the tool to allow for monochrome extruded models like the original .exe does.

As I add more and more features to Foldapuz, it becomes more and more apparent that I haven't put a bloomin' link on this site, anywhere!!

Read More

Added Bracket Surgery, whereby you need to add two sets of brackets into the equation so that the result is correct.

This game relies on your understanding of BODMAS, so if you're not "into" your maths, it might not appear that the original equation is incorrect!

Rest assured, the maths have been checked, and the equation is wrong.

A quick batch of JNKPlat levels, today, as I couldn't think of anything else to do for the Advent of Creativity!

Played about an hour and a half of Smash, from Midnight, until I was too tired to play any more.

As good a game as always, but no sign of the always-fun Homerun contest.. Hmm...

Read More

Added Repeating Patterns, or at least patterns which "should" repeat!
These are handy for backgrounds and things like that.



I then reused those patterns to create Floor Tiles, and additionally Standard Platforms.

Additionally, I added in some Spaceships, which seem to work better at lower resolutions.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday working up a new Platform Generator for the Sprite-Gen doohickey.

Yesterday was a bit of a rest day, as I gradually wore myself down with all the coding I've been doing recently.

Added Link Janitor, named after my AGameAWeek game of the same name.

Link up the lettered pairs without crossing paths. I've not accounted for diagonals, so avoid those. They might be do-able with diagonals, and may be easier or harder, but they're not part of the puzzle, so.. Avoid!!

The previous week's cleaning up of the structure meant that everything was a little easier to work with, today, although I did forget how to use some of my own functions. Previously, I could quickly Page-Up to find a previous use of the function, but now the other puzzles are stored in separate files!

Other than that, I also now have to draw a new icon for the Unfolded version, as well as update all the game-lists to account for the new puzzle. It's taking longer and longer to simply add a new game!
But it's not broke yet, so I guess that's ok
