On The Tiles is a sliding puzzle game with extra features (hazards and tricks) what we conceived of while walking past the British Library after a ECTS (industry trade show) event. There was later some controversy, as we were accused by a local competitor of stealing their idea and code (this is pretty much pre-internet, so I&#8217;ve no idea how we were supposed to have done that), so we ended up with Elite Systems (the publisher of the game) doing a code review to ensure there was nothing dodgy going on. Amazing that such a suggestion would have been taken seriously. <br>For a while this game was going to be &#8216;The Pepsi Challenge&#8217;, before we settled on a Franky, Joe and Dirk theme, relating to other games in Elite&#8217;s catalogue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"3\" data-effect=\"fade\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-814\" data-id=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/miraclestudios.co.uk\/gavinwadeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/OnTheTiles_cover.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/miraclestudios.co.uk\/gavinwadeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/OnTheTiles_cover.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/miraclestudios.co.uk\/gavinwadeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/OnTheTiles_cover.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/miraclestudios.co.uk\/gavinwadeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/OnTheTiles_cover.jpg?resize=50%2C50 50w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/miraclestudios.co.uk\/gavinwadeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/OnTheTiles_cover.jpg?w=474 474w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-contribution\">My Contribution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I designed and developed this game for the Nintendo Gameboy, using bespoke (homebrew) development hardware and SDK.
