I have finished working on my 3rd CNC bender, named “Sir Clive” after the great Sir Clive Sinclair. He received a complete refit and various other components. Details of this hardware/software project can be viewed at this link:

You can also read about the custom software I wrote to power the machine, named FlexIO, at this page:

This project has been a lot of work, and now it is ready I can finish some other projects. Thanks!

New PilesOTiles Version Underway… Again :)

Great news for all PilesOTiles fans, is that I have started working on the game again. I have been experimenting a little with online high score tables and banks, and am slowly starting to come up with a system that I like that will let people record their stuff online.

In the same area, I am also looking into ways to download new board and game data automatically. Id still really like to have a ‘Challenge Of the Day’ feature where you can download the days grid and attempt to get your best score for it, then submit it online to see how you did against other people from around the world.

Other features that will be added to the game include a better level designer with online submission capabilities, some tools to assist with tileset creation, and additional game types. More will follow on this subject in the future, as right now I am trying to finish some secret projects for the Evoke! demo party in August. It seems a long way away, but in reality, I feel like I am running out of time!

Suggestions for additional game features & ideas are welcomed in the comments sections :)
