Hooked up my old Wii to a 33 year old portable telly, 2 x CRTs going with an hour of each other! The scary output from the Wii requires an old style telly.

Get a Switch OLED model, HDMI output docked and it's also portable. A nice little system with an eclectic mix of games.

I've got enuf consoles and associated backlog of games I'll never get thru as it is, as much as I might fancy a Switch.

I wrote a player control system for a helicopter today. It's pretty terrible and it needs a lot of work. It is, however, a start.

A Helicopter control system, sounds intriguing Xerra!

My entry is creeping forwards, albeit slowly.

@Qube, well my coding mojo has officially been re-invigorated yet again, thanks to Compo 15.

Was getting out for some exercise an hour ago, instead I've managed to squich a bug which was causing my application to blow away.

Just incase anyones using Blitz 3D, load all your images before getting into the main loop, obvious I know, but it was causing my app to blow away.

Its pissing down outside, so its gonna take some next level motivation to go for a ride..... or I could just code some more. Ideal + Blitz3D is just idyllic coding fun.

You can't have enough games, although I wouldn't have time for the more in-depth games; I have at least began to play more games lately. Games like Mariokart 8 Deluxe and Metroid Dread are great to pick up and play.

@Steve, yeah - I dipped into WWE 10 on the Wii (very briefly yesterday...) not much depth there but good old fashioned head stamping fun

Theres a driver for a Switch if ever there was one.

Fort Block inspired me to make my own variant of Fort Block esque game - albeit with an Articulated JV-ODE rig instead of a Mario Kart!

Now that's game dev!   I think I must of used that combination for 8 yrs straight. Well moved up to Protean editor or was it called Blide.. I forget which been awhile.

No drag and drop + compile here !

Yep, Protean was a good IDE for Blitz 3D, but Ideal is, and always will be the mutz nutz 

Block commenting is such a great feature of Ideal.

Also, the project feature is great for multiple files. Now I've dusted of my memory, I did use Protean for a long while also.

My entry is not going well. I got most of the core functionality done to test gameplay and it doesn't really work (it's a bit dull), so I've stalled for the moment and I've been rewriting my 2013 Behaviour Tree module instead until I get some inspiration.

Just spent 8 hrs modeling, rigging and animating a cockroach, all for a 3 sec appearance in my game

You sound as bad as me for spending too much time on silly little things

If..... I get my project finished in Blitz3D, might try to port it to AGK. Although, I'll have to complete it in blitz 3d first though 

Just went full blast on my game, almost finished with only 2 more levels left out of 10.
I'll most likely upload on Halloween if I can.

Kudos & respect!
