I took the day off from coding, yesterday. Ten years is more than enough.
I opted instead to just sit around and watch as Twitter went crazy with "AGameAWeek 10" Tweets.

282 games, and still going.
What might be next?
Who knows.

Stick around to find out!

You can Download the "Gold - 10" collection from itch.io. It has 11 games in it, one for each of the 10 years I've been doing this..!?!

In order to do a new Centipong justice, I need to add nice level transitions, mushroom popping, and other nice stuff. It could probably do with a number of ALChoons, too, to keep it lively.
As such, and given what day it is, tomorrow, I've decided to hold off on the game until next week, so I have ample time to do the game justice.

Hopefully you don't mind.

Struggling to find a good speed for the game, at the minute.
For me, I'm so used to Centipong that I can play it at a fairly fast speed, but I know newcomers won't be so happy about that.
I think, then, that the usual Easy/Normal/Hard might instead be Calm/Collected/Chaos, or something like that...

But, yeah, basics seem to be working well enough, and it's nice and fast on 3DS, too.

This week, RSKGames is one of very few players who've bothered to take a look at a bland and tasteless Generic Snake clone.

The centipods are certainly more colourful, this time around.

For the past 24 hours, I've been wondering if I could somehow compile bunches of games into bundle.exe's

I spent most of yesterday contemplating various CentiPong based things, and one of the most difficult decisions is how to organise the visuals on the 3DS side of things.

I've no plans for this week.
If anyone has any suggestions, let them be known! You can either comment below, stick it in the Mailbag (on the right of the menu bar), or twitter, or email, or whatever other methods you might like to try.

I might try to do a Centipong, but I've never really decided how best to expand it.
Hmm...

Oh boy! Snake!!

Generic Snake Clone is almost complete.
A couple of tweaks, some screenshots, a bit of double-checking of a few things, then final compiles and I'll probably start doing the uploads..
It should be ready later today, but if not, assume I gave up when I had to try compiling the Mac version!!

I played through practically the entirety of WarioWare Gold on 3DS, yesterday.
It wasn't as good as I'd hoped for.

Wooah, we're halfway there..

Not a huge amount of progress on the Snake game, since yesterday, or at least nothing major.
Today I need to start thinking about adding audio into the game. Blips and Bleeps would appear to be the most logical way to go, so I'll be using bsfxr as I usually tend to do.

Generic Snake Clone is now around about 30% of what I'd like.

It's been a long long time since I did a bog standard Snake clone, and yesterday's code session reminded me of just how utterly simplistic a snake clone can be.

Today I'll be making the tail follow the player, as it currently doesn't clear out as it goes, making things much harder for the player. Once that works, I'll be adding more tail-pieces as the player eats more, and then coming up with a soundtrack that matches the presentation of the game.

With any luck, assuming I have the time to cram it all into the space of just a week, and that my programmering fingers don't fall off from all of the difficult coding that lies ahead, by next Monday you'll be able to play a fun and exciting game that I have decided to call "Generic Snake Clone".

It will be super and fun and exciting.
You will be able to eat the green dots.
Amazing gameplay lies ahead.

Please be excitementing.

As each game is released, so begins the influx of feedback from players.

Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of a bland looking ball in a bland looking maze!

@RSKGames

Easily one of the least interesting descriptions of recent months!
This game is certainly not the best selling point for AGameAWeek.

Two balls in a maze! What could possibly go wrong?
