Yesterday I continued to work on the new Javascript Generator tool that I've started.
Making things a little neater, moving text links to button-based links, tweaking all manner of internal bits and pieces.

Otakupunk's sent a lovely set of Xmas Themed levels for JNKPlat.
Be sure to give them a whirl!

You can grab JNKPlat 2018 here
You might also like to grab the complete level file from the Level Database, too. Simply pop it in the same folder as the exe, or if you're playing on 3DS, dump it into the agawsave folder.

The SoCoder Advent of Creativity has asked for people to create things over the course of Advent.
I've decided to make a website which then further creates arty little splodges!



Starting with Snowflakes as well as Bushy Trees and Spiky Grass, the site seems to be functioning well enough.

The site is 100% Javascript based, and works by quickly downloading the javascript of the generator you've selected, and then running it in the background to make a batch of Procedurally Generated sprites or other arty doodles.

The end results aren't meant to be perfect, but if you're in need of some inspiration for a game, they might help.

Got enough things to keep up with, there, Jay?

No?

How about another lengthy never-ending project?!

I coded a snowglobe, yesterday.

Apologies that there's no "Collexion", this year.
With the sheer size of JNKPlat, which scaled the entirety of the past few months, I ended up abandoning this year's Advent Calendar entirely.

OK, here's one thing I've learned, today.

For .. Whatever.. reason, emscripten seems to work infinitely better if you #include ".cpp" instead of #include ".h" like you'd normally do.

I'm fairly sure this is "wrong", but screw it, I don't care!!

Look what I can play, right now, in my browser!!!

But what sort of creative things will I be posting?!

Tonight I made a quick list of all the things that I need to do for future Framework functionality.
First step, HTML..

An Early/Late blog, tonight.

A fair amount of icon drawing, today, as I tried my best to come up with some kind of over-arching style for the many different game icons.

I'm not sure it's been that much of a success, if I'm honest, but at least I tried.

I tried about 3 or 4 different icon styles, last night, but can't quite find one to fit.

Oh dear.. This is the bit I'm rubbish at!!

I've spent a good couple of hours shuffling the script around a bit.
Probably should've used includes from the start of this project, but.. Too lazy to do that kinda thing!

The whole site is now split up into individual game scripts, so that the main script is a little more manageable in future.

I've also neatened up the style of the Cross Target game using a bit of grey, as well as taking the time to rewrite a lot of the site's Text functions to allow for more colour and size changes in future!

An awful lot of tweaking, this morning.

Additionally, I refurbished the main page a bit. Need icons for Instructions and Play Online, but otherwise it's a better layout than it was. I think!

Without using the word "Scrabble", how would you describe today's new Foldapuz puzzle?

Added Cross Target

Spent ages trying to find the best way to represent a Scrabble-Style board using only black ink! I should probably redo bits of it with grey, I think.. Hmm..

Anyway, it's a simple enough concept. You have a rack of tiles, and a specific target to hit. Try to score exactly that many points.

I've spent most of the past week building up a collection of little bits and pieces.

As I struggle to decide on what to do about a Xmas launch, I'm jumping about from unfinished projects, half started ones, and then things like Foldapuz which will never be complete, as it's just another great big pile of games!

More work on Foldapuz, yesterday, as I did a whole lot more minor tweaks.

A whole lot of tweaks to Unfolded, to make it all a little more stable. Just minor background things, nothing too notable, but enough to keep things working!!

I've also rewritten the way the Alternating Maze is generated, and it now ends up taking about s full second to generate each puzzle. Eeek! Still, with the recent puzzle-cache functionality, that should be a little bit easier on the server.

The Alternating Maze mazes should now be a little more difficult to solve, with the paths hopefully being better than just a single straight line going down the page!
