Spent most of this morning sorting out a few of the forgotten bits and pieces of the framework, such as "When playing with keys, make the top-left pause button more transparent", and "When playing with the mouse, (and if this is enabled!) make the mouse act a bit like a thumbstick", as well as a whole host of other controller based things.

Amazing, the number of little things you forget..

Still haven't tracked down that odd flicker on Android.
Adding a buffer to my drawing loop hasn't helped. No idea what might do it.. grrr!!

Finally tracked down the flicker..
Seems that, when rendering the contents of the buffer, I was (how clean of me!) erasing the buffer as I went.

For 99% of events, this was fine.
For 1% of events (eg, when the renderer is faster than the update) it caused a flicker because it had nothing to draw the second time around.

*sigh*
Taken me fucking ages to find that!!

A rather productive day, today, overall.
I managed to fix quite a few niggling bugs, and also got my encrypt/decrypt working properly.
Tomorrow's going to be a busy day, as I have to go through the previous few games and fix them up..
Bah, humbug!!

Good grief, that's been a good few days of hair-pulling maths and encryption, and insane levels of converting code!!

My Framework's menu now has a left side!


Unfortunately, that won't show up on the HTML5 edition, since HTML5 has strict domain issues. Or at least, it won't work unless I start hosting the html5 editions on the AGAW server..
.. But I'd rather make use of GameJolt whilst it's there!!

*sigh*
Rest time for Jay..

(Oh, and it's nowhere near finished, yet, but at least I got that much working!!)

Just needs a nice design for the titlescreen.

If you'd like to give it a go, including the online scoreboard, have at!!

Everything *should* be relatively ok.
Let me know if you find any glaring holes.
Thanks!

Spent most of today trying to build an online scoreboard viewer webpage thing..

I've just about got the basic javascript -> php -> xml -> ajax stuff working, and.. bloody hell, has that been frustrating!!
Editing the scoreboard's .php so that it will output in an xml format, then jumping back and forth between that and the javascript, which reads the xml and splits it all up, outputting it onto the page.

The constant switching between...
$variable.'<string>'.$anotherVariable;
..and..
variable+'<string>'+anotherVariable;
...has lead to MANY issues, today..

I don't mind PHP, and I don't really mind Javascript..
But for two languages that are meant to combine, online, they're very frustratingly different!!!

OK, that'll do for tonight.. My brain's turned to mush trying to get that working!
... Additionally..

|!!ARGH| CSS! |ARGH!!|

*sigh*

This is the basic edition of the online scoreboard viewer, displaying all currently available scoreboards (including the Framework Test scores!!)

https://agameaweek.com/Scoreboards.html

I'll obviously remove the listing of the framework test, at a later date!!

Mini Clampett has now been uploaded to OUYAReview.
Hopefully they give it a nice testing, too.
*fingers crossed*

Success!!
Game has passed OUYA Review!
Time to open the floodgates.
Apologies if there are any server issues. If there are, I may need to find an alternative place to host the scores.

Board Admin
Although I /could/ do everything via phpmysql, it'd be nice to not have to!!
Which, of course, means a crapton of database gubbins.

I need..
1. Add New Game
Which will setup a new board for a new game. Give it a game ID, add a unique passcode, define table names, upload banner images, that sort of thing.

2. Alter Table
Allow me to make changes, like if I decide to add a new game mode, or if someone spams the board with naughty words that aren't part of my naughty word list.
Also allow myself to delete scores that seem far too improbable!

3. Ban Hammer
Allow me to ban specific PlayerIDs. Won't stop them deleting their save-file and starting again from scratch, but I imagine that's more trouble than it's worth, to most users. .. Maybe!

...
But not today.
Today I'm not in a database mood.

Have you encountered much cheating in your other games Jay? How could you tell?
Tue, 14 Feb 2017, 04:13
Jayenkai
Not much, but there's the odd "highly improbable highscore" that always seems a bit dodgy!

I've added extra details into the scoreboards, so I should (hopefully) be able to tell if the person's cheated.

Cool, I was wandering about if you were checksumming things up

If you can do something cool like use a distinct encryption vector for each game, possibly based on the games title or another unique value then it will further reduce the ease of spamming.

Not really sure where this one's going!

Hmm..

Going to have to rewrite a lot of that, if I want to do it now..
Uses the old framework!

Been fixing and updating and Copy&Pasting, today.
Clusters of Hex and Cuddly Cuddly Bears should now both have online scoreboards!

...or at least, the Windows and AndroidTV.apk editions, anyway!

Have I mentioned, I'm remaking the original Blockman?


View on YouTube

Spent this morning drawing new tilesets for the game's backgrounds.
3 down, oodles to go, if I have the artistic talent!

I also rejigged the level generator to give me 64x16 levels, as opposed to yesterday's 32x32 levels.
This means I can lock the y scrolling, stick black bars top and bottom, and have the game look a bit more like the original.

The Door's in place. The Spikes and Ice are in..
At this point, the game is pretty much an exact recreation of the original, albeit without the fruit!



Now, what else to add..
Hmm...
