My iPad alarm went off as usual, and I rolled up and hit the "STFU" button like I always do.
Except it didn't STFU..
Instead, it got approximately 800 times louder, and glitched the same half second of audio, over and over and over and over and over and over...

I had to power down the iPad and reboot it.

Latest Game : 19th September 2019 : Idigidragon

Petit Computer 4, SmileBasic for Nintendo Switch, was released on 23rd of May, 2019 in the Japanese eShop.

I've also made the following downloads for the language.

I'll aim to post a new game every Friday, so watch out for them!

I did that thing again, where I go "Hey, if I write the entire newsletter on a Wednesday Night, instead of saving half of it until Thursday Morning, I get more time on a Thursday Morning to code!!"

..
And then did that thing where I spend all night writing the newsletter, don't get to sleep until stupid-o'clock, and then don't manage to wake up until after 12.

D'oh!

I've now posted the SoCoder Newsletter, and this week's ALChoon to YouTube/Soundcloud, and will shortly be heading over to PetitSwitch to finish off the Idigidragon game.

Idigidragon's getting a remake on Switch, this week.

I have a vague idea for the sort of game I'd like to make for Petit Switch, this week, but cramming it into a couple of days might not help it.

I also need to get those pockets working on the Pool game, and then get that fully formed for a (hopefully) Saturday release.

Not much more going on that that, if I'm honest.

Keep on Coding!
