Fixed a few minor bugs, which freed up the game and allowed me to play through a bit. Just won 3-0 at Norwich and moved up to 5th!

My iPhone/iPad Football Manager Game 29 – It works… not!
Posted on February 26, 2010 by Kevin Toms
I just deployed the latest version to an iPod Touch. Sometimes I work with the simulator for a while, just because it’s easier. So it’s been a week since I tried it. All OK though, I started playing and thought, this is good, I like this! Then I found a bug, and another, and another. [...]

Back in the Coffee shops
Posted on February 24, 2010 by Kevin Toms
Meetings in the City today. And, in between them, a lot of hours in coffee shops. Hours because I will be working, developing the game in them. Wireless internet and a laptop – the key to a lot of productivity. Several pieces of the game are now working together and I am able to test [...]

My iPhone/iPad Football Manager Game 28 – Writing and Playing
Posted on February 22, 2010 by Kevin Toms
As I am writing this a young lad next door is blasting out the riffs of Smoke on the Water in his garage. Deep Purple lives on! It’s well known that I like good Rock. I saw Deep Purple twice, thirty years apart and 12,000 miles apart, once in Bournemouth and not long ago in [...]

My iPhone/iPad Football Manager Game 27 – Design Target
Posted on February 19, 2010 by Kevin Toms
There is a design target I am working to. People comment that they enjoyed my original Football Manager, written a long time ago now. And, they would like something similar but modernised. (In some cases, they want exactly the same!). So what am I aiming at with this game? Well one thing I can honestly [...]

My iPhone/iPad Football Manager Game 26 – Actual Screenshot
Posted on February 17, 2010 by Kevin Toms
It’s a screenshot from the game but it has something distinct about it. Can you spot what it is? (I know it doesn’t show much, what did you expect at this stage? )

My iPhone/iPad Football Manager Game 25 – Good week
Posted on February 11, 2010 by Kevin Toms
A good week this one, the feel of the game is starting to appear. I wanted to have a thin thread through the game running by the end of the week, and I have got that. So now it’s a case of playing that thread through, learning what works and what doesn’t, making enhancements, and [...]

Thinking about Software Star
Posted on February 10, 2010 by Kevin Toms
I was reminded of Software Star today. It was a simple game of managing a software business. It captured some truth, and I played with my son a while ago. That was a strange experience, to play a game you wrote, so long ago, and find out it is still fun to play! And you [...]

My iPhone/iPad Football Manager Game 24 – It’s different
Posted on February 9, 2010 by Kevin Toms
I did more work getting the league table functioning in the way I wanted yesterday. Got some UI work to do on that today. I also spent some time playing other Football Manager type games. I haven’t done for little while. It was good to do so, and confirmed that what I am doing is [...]
