; Hello World


I'm juggling projects again..
I'm supposed to be finishing off JNKPlat2018, but have concurrently started work on an Advent Calendar..
24->26 games that all need to be working well on Desktop and 3DS equally, all of which need to be ready by December 1st.

I'm really trying to get all the JNKPlat stuff done, but with such a ludicrously short timespan to get the Advent Collexion done, I'm finding myself more focussed on that, instead of Plat.

*tsk*

Foldapuz took up a significant chunk of this week, whilst I tried to fathom a way to make Tic-Tac-Toe into a logic puzzle.
In the end, I opted for Connect Four instead, as it seemed to be easier to generate the game using the larger amount of space available.
It certainly wasn't an easy game to make.

Meanwhile, the server tweaks continue, and I'm really struggling to find a proper way to handle "multiple" requests in a good way.
I mean, in the one hand, my "block if too many requests come from a single IP too quickly" system does indeed seem to be doing what it should, but I wonder what might happen if, say a room full of college students, all try to visit AGameAWeek at once..
They'd all be coming from the Uni's network, such that they'd (I'd imagine?) all show up under a single IP address.
That's a complication that my code really can't cope with, and people will start getting blocked left, right and center.

How to cope?!
I'm not sure..
..
hmmm..

No matter. For now the server is at least working, and that's a good thing.
I really do need to settle all my worries, and get this stuff functioning properly.

SoCoder


; Possible Xmas Xompo

If we DID have a competition on SoCoder, what would be a fair set of rules, to allow the most members to join in?
I'm trying to come up with something that could be as inclusive as possible, but without requiring a lot of time, so that those of us who don't have a lot of time can still join in.

; Fuze Language

Fuze seems like a fairly decent Basic-alike language that runs on multiple systems, and is apparently aiming to get a release on Switch at some point next year.
Jay grabs the Windows edition and delves in.
Unfortunately, the Y axis goes bottom to top.
Jay could probably learn to deal with it, but instead wonders what happens if he tries setting the Y screen size to a negative number..

Zzoom buys a copy of Project Cars 2 for cheap, and is quite happy with his purchase.
.. But hasn't said how good the game actually is.

; URLRant

Jay has another rant about URLs getting cram packed with user data, to the point where you can no longer easily copy+paste the address bar without giving away half of your personal details.
.. And my BBCode is having one heck of a time trying to understand what the hell they're supposed to be.
