Omigod. I minimized my art tool and only noticed this just now. This is so cute!!
Why it never occurred to me that that's what happens when you actually add an icon for your game, I couldn't tell you. But it makes me giggle.

Practice piece.
Decided to set it as my home screen, and look how flippin perfect it is!
Gonna be staring at this for a while.

Fucked around and made another prototype in five hours because I'm utterly obsessed with grids and cards.
Send help. Or Mountain Dew.
Preferably the latter.

After twelve hours of work, the core gameplay loop for my ugly prototype is complete. Yay!
Gonna grab some food, then figure out how to make it less ugly.

Finally figured out what was going on with my ugly prototype -- just a couple of infinite while loops. No big deal.
But I have the bare bones of a prototype. Just have to add a bit of UI and figure out how to check when there are no more moves.
Such fun.

So while I did figure out the problem with my original approach for the graph (user error), I went with a different one so that I could align points to a grid. The animation was a happy accident, but it looks cool, so I'm keeping it.

Here's a fun little problem for me to muse over:
I'm using PathFollows to find the X and Y for a graph. And though I have to invert the Y because of the direction of the line (an easy fix if I feel like it), why is it that the X is over 300 pixels off?
Fun little treat for me.

And we have another prototype.
Play as many words as you can to gain points before clearing the board. But each time you clear the board, you get to choose a relic to apply multipliers to your future plays.
Honestly, I might just keep this one for myself.

Thought I'd finally try my hand at a cozy little hex-based game.
I thought wrong.
I think tonight might be a movie night.

I had a late start and it still needs some tweaks, but it was a lot easier to code than I expected. Now to figure out how to update it daily...

Managed to get the new screen laid out and a new shader written before pain became too prevalent for me to focus.
I'll wire it up once I regain consciousness.

I still have some work to do on this, but switching the focus was definitely the way to go.
Now you can just try out new combinations and build your collection, or and see how many of the colors you unlock from the cabinet (store? I dunno yet) as you go.

I think I have another failed prototype on my hands. Sigh.
But I did learn some things and figured out how to streamline some stuff. And I got to play around with shaders. So that's cool.
Plus, it's cute, which makes me happy.

Made myself a little tool for my game. It's using a shader that I made last night, and after a bunch of shenanigans, I get the hex code of the mixed colors.
It took me a bit to figure out, but the fact that I managed to do it is what I love about programming.

I've learned something quite fun while trying to figure out this shader: apparently mixing pure blue and yellow just makes... gray??

I'm slowly whittling away at my to-do list for this game.
No, I still haven't written out the rules. Or made a final decision on a name.
But the game is prettier. So there's that.

Just spent literal hours trying to make something work for my game, only to realize that I can't even use it.

Implemented some basic customization for my weird little Solitaire game, and I'm very chuffed about it.
Somehow, being able to choose between different color schemes makes it feel like a real Solitaire game to me...?
I don't know, but I like it.

Not sure if I'll actually use this in the game, but I had fun drawing it. Still haven't quite wrapped my head around this perspective, though.
