Either Google's drunk or doesn't think much of Crystal Palace

I love @____lighthouse when it's nice to me.

Are all @ASKItalian pasta dishes just premade and just microwaved? Just asked if they can do a adult pasta in child's portion and got told everything comes "pre-measured"...

Has anyone made an AR truck driver game yet called truckar? Seems like it'd write itself #gamedev

Thinking about game dev and reducing as much as possible to loops - ditt.to/game-dev/loops-withi…

Haven't seen many April's fools today, but these two are my favourites: pr.funcom.com/pressreleases/… and us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wo… - in particular "Because you can’t stop being children with abbreviations, Assassination has been renamed"

Sent in my old @delluk laptop for repair as the speaker crackles after using it for a while. Quoted £1200 for the repair! After getting a breakdown of costs, turns out £600 of that was for a new case... Moral of the story is beware the @delluk con artists

Finished #GGJ19 today and also actually "finished" a solo game for the 1st time. globalgamejam.org/2019/games…

Continuing with playing with particles effects, this blog covers the basics of creating a texture from scratch - ditt.to/game-dev/unity-spark…

Have the Koreans decided they're playing speedball and it's best just to run it into the net? If they actually tried shooting they may actually win! #WorldCup18

I went to another game jam a few weeks ago and thought WebSockets would be a perfect way to sabotage my chance of a working game. I was right, but got a blog out of using PHP as a connection layer between Unity and JavaScript - ditt.to/game-dev/websocket-c…

I went to a game jam last year and thought making interactive stories with Alexa would be a cool idea. I don't have time to take it beyond a beta, so have open-sourced it - ditt.to/game-dev/age

Last year's blog a fortnight was a bit too much to keep up and look after a baby. It was a close-run choice, but I'm going down to once a month with the blogs and see if that's feasible. Now all I have to do is remember to tweet about them when the publish...
