My other plan is to do an update on Swiibee. But the game code is very messy. It was hacked together. So I have been doing some design these past two weeks. I am not going to start from scratch. I think just the game part needs some re-architecture. If it all goes well, I can do update each week on what additional games I will be putting into Swiibee. But marketing comes first.

I have been trying to create some new games. And I just been thinking whether it is best to start by using a known game design and start adding features that you think will work in the game. Or is it just better to start totally on a new game design that has not been tried out before. I am going to try both ways and see where I get to. I have been experimenting in my head and implementing some of it. It is best to implement it and play it, but the code gets really ugly real quick. Because I like to hack If it is all in your head, I find it very hard to imagine how the game plays.

Lots of experimenting to do

Anyway, you can download Shoot And Twirl for Windows, or Shoot And Twirl for Mac OS X. For the Mac OS X version it has only been tested on an Intel Mac OS X v 10.4.7. I do not know how compatible it is with PowerPC Mac or Mac OS X v 10.5.

My plan is that these games will be regular. You can play it online, social networking sites, and downloadable. But we will see what happens

Above is the screenshot of Shoot and Twirl running on Mac OS X. I still need to make an icon for Mac OS X app, and I need to figure out how to make the DMG file. Everything else seems to be working alright. Probably need to test it ALOT more times, before I release it. And, I am very happy that the highscore is working.

The only problem that I can not test is compatibility with Power PC Mac. I can only afford a Mac Mini, and even that was on the expensive side for me.

But tomorrow, I am going to start submitting Shoot And Twirl to those flash portals. See what kind of response I get from them.

Just wanted to show you what I have been working on. I am trying to make Shoot And Twirl run on native Windows and Mac OS X. The picture above is from the Windows version. At first I did not know how to integrate the highscore into the downloadable version. But after some research last night on encryption, I have managed to get it all working. I just successfully submit two highscores using the windows version.

Anyway better get back to it, I need to compile for Mac OS X on my Mac Mini. Can’t guarantee anything, since I am new to the whole Mac OS X platform.

This is my first flash game. It is a very simple game. The main objective is to clear the red circle. You do this my picking a circle as your aimer, and shooting at another circle. The line between these two circles is your radius. And anything inside that circle will be destroyed. To get a very highscore in this game, you need to try to get the biggest circle! And that will destroy the most circle in one go.

Personally I really like chaining games. That is why I made this one. I have several ideas of chaining mechanism that I will try to implement. I want to do some variation with this game, since I feel this version finishes too fast, if you know how to play it.

I figure I release this on Newgrounds first. And boy did I had so much problem, mainly with the highscore. And when I was fixing those highscore problem, some more came up. There is another one I need to tackle very soon, to make the game more enjoyable. It has to do with how the highscore is deleted.

Hopefully soon, I will write down some tips on how to play the game, such that you can do the maximum chain. Just remember this one, the shooting is a line. So if there is a space between two circles, you can probably shoot in-between those two circles. But after looking at the highscore top 100, I don’t think I am qualified anymore to write the tips and hints It seems I got schooled in my own game. Dammit!! ><

I am making some flash online games, much like our java games. These games can be finished in five minutes. But these will be fun and addictive - that hopefully they make you want play it again and again!

I still need to clean up the site, like the linking problem that I structured it wrongly and directory mess that I created.

I will be making the flash game with Flex SDK 2 for Flash 9. I have added highscore board so other people can challenge each other. I will start with some simple flash games first. And hopefully progress to more complex flash games.

In the near future, hopefully I will have a facebook version up and running. I still have a few items to polish up there.

I am also making a downloadable version for Windows and Mac OS X. This is so people can practice at their own desktop if they want to.
