Swing

Mood swing. . . After Mondays freak out I feel better.
"Three of a Kind" is working nicely.
There's more script running the show then the table of 52 cards, which was the brain buster. To many variables, to many outcomes. Throw a "?" in the mix and Ka-BlAmo!
I dropped it yesterday afternoon just to get away from the mess.
And picked up "PSR" to rework.
PSR is much better now. Took around 4hrs to rebuild but it was worth it.
As I was rebuilding PSR I opened a few doors in my mind on how to work in The King.
What if the end user was playing PSR against The King?
Yeah I know. . . genius.

BETA v1.0.8

Compiled BETA v1.0.8 on Friday night.
Mostly positives.
One card to go.

I'm not sure what I want the mini game to be.
"3 of a kind" or "match 3" was an idea but I'm struggling to get it off the ground.
Also the "scratchie card" was a good idea but I'm also having issues with it.
As for combining the two games. . . sweet idea but i cant code in and outcome.
unless i leave it to the user.

Eg: There are 12 squares the end user can scratch.
The ideas is to match 3.
So the user scratches away until they have 3 of the same kind.
Problem: I cant get the mini game to realize that the user has 3 matching squares reviled.

So do I leave it to the end user to decide when the game is over?

OR

Drop it and work on something else.
So much to do.

Push

In my last post I was aiming to get a new BETA up and running by Sunday, but it might be possible to get something up by tomorrow evening.
which will work out well due to a meeting over a few to many jars at the local with No.2.
Speaking of No.2, we now have a working "To do list".
There are a number of things in the process of game development we skipped like this.
we dove in head first with no real guide or plan and at the moment it seems to be going smoothly without.
With two people running the show and a deadline fast approaching these things have to be left behind.
Code-zilla. . . crush data time!

Running on the Spot

No compile this week.
Still sitting on v1.0.6
I have made minor changes but not worth a compile.
I didn't get much time this weekend.
I found a few hours painting up the mystery boxes.

This week is going to be real productive.
I should have a new compile up by Sunday.
If all things fall into place I may have a compile ready Friday night.

That leaves us with one more card to fill. . . I cant believe it.

Chesty

My poor neglected blog.
When it comes down to it i would rather work on stuff then write about stuff I'm working on.

Time, its a killer.
All 50 questions are in for "Trivia" and it works!!!
I did a "stuff-together" and had a play.
Not much of a play because by that stage i was over looking at it.
So it got a handball to No.2. In joke.

I put on my smock and drew up The King.
Hes looking sweeeeeeet. I need to go back and fix a few flaws like his miss shaped crown.
Needs some colour too.
SO, that was all on the weekend.

Whats happened since then?

I've been busting sack on "Mystery Box".
No code just visuals.
It feels like I haven't done as much this week because I'm used to having 2 mini games well on there way by now.
When really I've worked harder this week then previous.

Here's my chest!

17) Gymnophobia is fear of what?

I should really change the name of this blog due to the fact this has nothing to do with Black Bean anymore.
any-hoooo.

Picture this is complete. . . for now.
Had I prob with being able to draw directly onto an image but I sussed it out with a complete recode. All i have to do is stick it into the main game and test.

As for Trivia.
I've developed a responsibly fast way of entering in each question.
Its a bit of a drainer because its so repetitive.
I'm currently sitting on Q17.

I found my magic pen of goodness so I'll flush, or should i say flash out The King.
Then handball it over to my mother lover brother to stuff around with colour.

So the plan is to have "Picture This", "Trivia" and "The King" compiled and ready for a test run.

Nudity!

Blunder

I stuffed up Red or Black.
For some reason I had the game all wrong in my head.
I built a different game to what R or B actually is.
To my disappointment this has put me back hours. Looks like my afternoon is booked.
I was planning on doing my usual Friday afternoon snooze. I need it today as well because my blunder kept my brain active all night as I tried to mentally fix my wrongs.
Its not all bad news.
The game I built could be rejigged and use for another game to add to the arsenal. . . and of course this played on the old think box last-night too.
Its funny, All these memory's have suddenly come flooding back of the God Box days.
