#30daydeveloper - Day 12 - Navigating Scoring

Hello! If this is your first time reading about my thirty day developer challenge, click here to go to the first post!

Today I didn't have as much time to tinker as I wanted. There is just simply too much I want to do and it's very difficult to keep on a straight track when my mind wanders and I take so many detours on the way.

Today, I fixed the mobile version, now the game fits perfectly in my phone screen and it works pretty well for the most part. It's just not as fluid as I'd like it to be, but what else can I expect from a prototype, right? I hope that as I keep working on this, it'll become a more responsive experience.

In addition, I also got rid of the timer at the top. I want to experiment with music and spawning the balls to some background rhythm. Then with each interaction create a sound that might all mesh together to create some sick beats. I tinkered with this yesterday when I played with audio, but it just increased load times by over two-fold and was simply unpleasant to listen to. But I hope it'll be better in the final version!

Right now, each ball is only worth five points, but I have plans to add multipliers and other ways of combo-ing them to increase their values. Be on the lookout for that!
Mobile!


On a side note, I'm so hungry right now.

Jooble

Yesterday, I received an incredibly friendly email from an anonymous person who claimed to have read my blog and "loved it." Of course, because my blog is public and anybody can comment anonymously, I was a bit skeptical of this email. Yet, seeing as how this was the first ever "fan mail" I've ever received, I read the email. It wasn't fan mail, but it was an email from a person who works for a website called " Jooble ." Interested by his genuineness and heartfelt compliments of my blog, I took a quick glance at the website. Here's what he had to say about Jooble: Jooble operates in 45+ countries, so if you would like to find a job in other locations you may try to search jobs in: Argentina , Australia , Austria , Belgium , Belarus , Brazil , Canada , Chile , China Colombia , Czech Republic , Denmark , Spain , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Hong Kong , Hungary , Italy , India , Indonesia , Ireland , Japan , Kazakhstan , Mexi...

Making a Board Game

Wanted to update my blog with what I've been up to recently. I made a board game and have been working on that full time for the past 3 or so months. The name is still WIP but it's tentatively set as "Our Modern Lives." It's a tile/card based map-building game. The goal is to achieve "Success" and "Happiness" before anyone else can by building your own route. Here are a few pictures of the current build (v1.20 Beta): On a side note, follow me on Instagram for more (semi-frequent) updates!

#30daydeveloper - Day 1 - War of Shapes

Today marks the first day of a new experiment I am doing. Dubbed the "30 Day Developer" challenge. I am taking the next thirty days to try to fulfill my two new years resolutions . For the next thirty days, I will create a working prototype of an idea I had for a mobile game. Furthermore, I promise that I will... develop for at least an hour each day. blog about the day's events and any related events / thoughts. not give up! Mock up of "War of Shapes" (name pending finalization) The game is very simple (as I believe mobile games should be). Several colored balls drop from a chute onto the middle of the screen. The player then used his/her finger to swipe the colored ball into the matching colored corner. The game is meant to be played at an incredibly fast pace (think Super Hexagon ). I also envisioned techno-trance music roaring in the background as the user madly swipes at his/her phone. The game will be developed using the languages I am fam...
