I'm going to try something, maybe just for 1-2 weeks, maybe permanent. I'm going to write blog posts every week instead of every day. The main thing being, a ton of posts recently have been very short and how interesting is that really. The hope with having rarer posts is that I end up writing longer posts that are more interesting to read. Any urls for Jan 4-9 will redirect to this post instead. Anyway see you in a week (Jan 10).
For now I'm making an expansion to the bullet hell game in the collection. The main thing I did is rewrite the code to allow more flexible enemies. Previously the enemies never moved and their bullets mostly did the same thing: shoot towards where you are. For an expansion I'd like to try different things like having them move back and forth, or having bullets that chase you around, things like that.
Today I reorganized the home page on this website. Now the games are sorted by how how proud I am of them, that way people can immediately figure out which games I'm the most happy with, and to find the games in order you use the top menu bar. While sorting the games by pride, it's a bit sad that a lot of games made with other people scored low, even though I learned a lot while making those games. But also the games at the very bottom, I came very close to just deleting them altogether. For now they'll still be around on the website, but after enough time maybe I'll just get rid of them forever.
