This week I’ve drawn a train, and some tracks, and am currently in the midst of desperately trying to get the train to behave upon said tracks. So far, it’s a stuggle! Trying to get each carriage to turn at the right time, trying to account for the 30-odd track pieces that I’ve drawn, and [...]

Not quite the 200 I was hoping for when I asked for levels the other week. Only Shadow1w2 sent any in Still, Shadow1w2 sent us 10 whole new fun mean levels to play with. Meanwhile, I’ve been so busy with everything else that I hadn’t much time to make any, so you’ll have to make [...]

I made this about 4 or 5 days ago, and have had it as my desktop on about 3 different systems. Oooh, it’s luvly! (Even if I do say so myself) There’s a game-logic-error in the thing, but other than that it’s a nice looking desktop. It’s a massive 3200×3200 pixels, but should scale nicely [...]

Trying to pass a variable (a single little integer) from one part of the program (AppDelegate) to another (ViewController) is probably one of the most difficult things [...]
