Every Thursday, Coding so much in a day that there probably won't be much more coding done for the rest of the week.

; Hello World

Been an oddly busy week, code wise.
I made a nice time-loop based puzzle game, added a few new functions to JSE, and even did some Socoder tweaks, too.
See if you can spot them!
..  You can't, of course..  They're very much background things, mostly to do with the early morning backups that happen.
Somewhere along the way, they started triggering in the wrong place, and I've had to tweak a few things to get it all working properly again.
Suffice it to say, we went a few days without any backups.
Eeek!

Don't worry.  Everything's back to normal, and I even streamlined it a little.
Seems the work on JSE is paying off, in the optimisation department.
Every little helps, I suppose.

I still need to figure out why Foldapuz is leeching memory from the system, though.  That's been an issue for a long long time, and I really need to figure it out.
Hmmm.

; Balloons in a game on a NES but in a game on a GameCube
One of this week's polls struck the right spot with Rockford, bringing forth memories of collecting games within a game.
Did you collect them, too?
How many did you get!?
