Today, I successfully incorporated the JetLag sound effects into the iPhone version. I have also completed the main menu, how to play, and about screen.
Which means I'm just a little bit of testing away from done with it. And then it's off to the app store!

For a second time and a second handheld platform(former platform was Cybiko, for those interested), I'm once again stealing a game idea from John Hattan. The original game is called Black Box Chess, where the goal is to guess what chess pieces go where on a chess board, with the ability to get hin…

After toying with it for a while, I changed iPhone JetLag to use a 40x30 grid, which makes each of the cells 8x16 pixels.
I prefer to have the game on a 40x(something) grid, so my choices are:
1. the 8x16 half wide cells that I am currently using
2. rotate the screen sideways, to make 40x26 cells, but…

So, I'm working on finishing an iPhone version to put in the apple app store for the iphone and ipod touch.
The biggest issue I see here is that the game does not have art. It consists entirely of brightly colored blocks. The iPhone app community likes polished and slick applications, and I'm goin…

So, I'm mostly through a prototype JetLag for the iPhone. I posted a screenshot on my blog: http://playdeezgames.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/it-was-as-we-all-know-inevitable/
This is also technically my first OpenGL application. However, I mostly just ripped the content out of a different demo, and p…

For a stand alone version of Connect!, I could have gone with a number of different solutions.
One, I could just distribute a zip file with the html and js files in it. This did not appeal to me, as it wasn't really any better than just having it on the web.
Two, I could make an Adobe Air applicatio…

Well, I added a lot of stuff, and Connect! got messy again. Also, I think I'm evolving in the way I do my JSHTML projects, so my style is changing, which means I need to go through and make stuff consistent again.

I'm at that point in writing this game.
The point called "Concept Complete" or "Prototype Complete

So I moved Connect! over to my site:

Game: http://members.gamedev.net/TANSTAAFL/connect/connect.html
Source In RAR File: http://members.gamedev.net/TANSTAAFL/connect/connect.rar
Tested in IE7 and Fox2 only. Its a little slow to load on both(it's generating a 8x8 maze in javascript).
Enjoy.

Working a little last night on a new game. It was a game idea I've had for a while. I call it, for lack of a better name at this point, "Connect!" and the first target platform is YWE.
Its related to Pipes! in that the game's purpose is to solve an interconnected maze of nodes.

I recently discovered that my Pipes! Yahoo! Widget was within the top ten most popular YW with the tag "game". Which made me look back at the Snake game I made for Scratch, which was still in top 10 "most loved" scratch games.
Thinking about this, I realize that the most "popular" games I make are …

interesting difference between ie and fox's js implementation #497:
they interpret "superfluous" commas differently.
For example:
var test = ["one","two","three",];
alert(test.length);
will give you 3 in fox, and 4 in ie.

I have gadgetized my pipes game for google gadgets.
If you are so inclined, you can add it by url:
http://members.gamedev.net/TANSTAAFL/pdg/pipes/pipes.xml
It has been submitted to google for their official approval, in which case it may be listed in their gallery. We shall see, I suppose.
