Hmmm..
Two weeks in, and things aren't going so well for poor old SpikeDislike2.
I initially set myself an initial target of "about 500 sales", which in my eyes would've been an achievement.
After two weeks, I'm at about 200 sales, and the last two days have been zilch, zip, nada..
Fucksocks.
So sod it, today, and today only, the game is available for free in the AppStore.
Hopefully this brings in a decent number of new players, if not a certain level of new interest in the game.
.. Either that or I see thousands of folk take the game for free, then fuck all sales for the rest of eternity,.. Guess we'll have to wait and see.. :/
Hmm.. Wonder what next week's "Hello World" section might be about!?
Jayenkai's midway through writing a utility that makes sweet music by itself.
It's quite tricky.
There's also a Monkey involved. socoder.net/?topic=3350
; Tetris
Steve Ancell makes a Tetris clone! It's Tetris! Playfield's a little too large for my liking, but otherwise it's a lovely little engine. socoder.net/?topic=3351
I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this one..
On the one hand, it's nice that OneGameAMonth now has an official sponsor.
The sponsor is being very generous to OneGameAMonth creator @McFunkyPants, sending him all manner of nice gifts and being all lovey dovey about it.
But two things irritate me.
First, the green jealous side of me is going.. "What the fuck?! I've been doing AGameAWeek for years, and I got no sponsor.. What the fuck!!?!"
But that's not my main issue, here..
My main issue is that the sponsor is ... Microsoft...
.... Hmmmm...
They've "said" that they won't interfere with the inner workings of OneGameAMonth, but.. Well.. It's Microsoft.
I don't trust Microsoft..
I haven't trusted Microsoft for a LONG time..
Microsoft are evil!

Can you swim? How well? I can't swim. Well, not unless it's a race to the bottom, anyway! socoder.net/?topic=3343

; Donkey Kong Inverted
WarOffice writes to tell us about a loving father, who saw that his daughter wanted more games with Princess Peach as the star, and so did some nice rom-hackery on Donkey Kong, to switch Mario with the Princess.
Someone oughta tell him that's not Peach!! i.imgur.com/DcAFPUE.jpg
; After Being Married
WarOffice also writes to tell us about a man who was unhappy with his marriage.
He was quite happy after the divorce, though.
What's better than Wedding Presents?

; Chip That Midi!
Sobtanian has found a wonderful little proggy that takes in a Midi file, and spits out something that sounds like it's a chiptune.
Can't argue with that!! bit.ly/YYaSKl
; AnimationVine!
Brent Butt (you'll remember him from Corner Gas!) has found a great use for the iOS video-clip app, Vine.
You scribble a border onto paper, then doodle in the middle, taking snapshots as you go.
It's a fun little animation-station!
