Should I implement in the forum?

This link takes you to a test forum. Nothing you do there will be reflected in the real forum. You will have to log in to the test forum before you play if you want it to save your scores. User accounts on the test forum are as of a week ago. New users will not have accounts on the test forum (but can still play without saving scores).

Please vote in the poll above in addition to or instead of leaving a comment.

Yes please!

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #2 on:** October 12, 2009, 11:51:07 pm »

Yes please. Especially if we can compete for high scores. (Edit: Dammit, I just set the high score on one (a game that took me months to get the ultimate high score on at a different site) and it doesn't save yet...)

I didn't even realize I wasn't. It was only after I played the game that I found out it was the "sandbox" or whatever. I'm not used to clicking a link on this site and having to log in again, so I didn't catch it.

saint · « **Reply #5 on:** October 13, 2009, 09:32:02 am »

It won't be that way if/when I implement on this forum. The sandbox is a separate duplicate forum where I test things before I break the main forum

Once/if it's on this forum you won't have to re-login.

Hell yes!

I can't normally access any flash etc game sites at work but I can get to these

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #7 on:** October 13, 2009, 11:59:25 am »

Suggestion:
Once a higher score is posted by a member, the lower score drops off. I know it's possible for this setup and keeps clutter down.

Any thoughts?

Now that just might be the most ironic comment I've ever seen on this MAME cab builder's forum.

saint · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2009, 12:54:19 pm »

Heh. I concur though. That's the entire library from the first site, I won't put them all up on the forum. Feedback on any you've played is welcomed as well.

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:02:19 pm »

If there is a Farkle grab it!

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:03:05 pm »

Well, Military Snow can stay (for obvious reasons). Avoider has a glitch that can be exploited for a Franco B high score

(Though mine is higher elsewhere because of this glitch)

Get rid of the matching cats game. It's pretty lame.

Hoopz · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:09:06 pm »

Color boxes seemed pretty pointless also.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #15 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:19:15 pm »

Color Boxes is busted anyway. The timer counts UP, so you can leave it running for a long time and get the high score. The faster you finish the LOWER you score.

Ssssh!

Smeg knows how you got 750 on Military Snow, I can only seem to get around 450.

I definitely think some will want weeding out. I will go do some QA

Regarding Duck Hunt. Does it ever end? I palyed through the 1st 11 rounds and didn't miss a bird. It didn't seem to get any harder and I don't think it was going to end so I quit it.

QFT. I tried 5 or 6 times and only got 460 or so as the high.

Hoopz · « **Reply #18 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:16:37 pm »

Airwar doesn't seem to save a score. Or has a minimum to save. I got around 3500 or so.

It's tough. It takes playing it a LOT to get close and a lot more to hit it. That's the high score. There is nothing higher. Once first place is taken, it can only tie at that point, but the first to do it is always considered first place. (Which is why I jumped on it first thing)

If others like it, write +1 for me, but I'm not going to spend time on it. I'll walk to the cab at the office. Better for the RSI, and I can practice the real classics instead of clowns.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #23 on:** October 13, 2009, 03:13:14 pm »

Well no one is comparing this to the classics. It's fun for a bit of competition amongst members.

Yeah, it shouldn't knock you off top spot with an equal score, that's lame. I felt really poop about that so spent ages trying to justify it by actually beating the score but couldn't, so technically you're still the score to beat.

Meanwhile.... anyone fancy taking me on at FunkyPong?

Just like you found out, 745 is the high score. I've played the game elsewhere and there is no higher score than that.

Fixed. Configured it for reverse scoring.

Hoopz · « **Reply #31 on:** October 16, 2009, 08:17:56 am »

I'm getting a message that the arcade has been disabled by the admin.

Saint, are you trying to protect your high scores from being beaten?

saint · « **Reply #32 on:** October 16, 2009, 08:35:19 am »

Stop going to the sandbox, use the live system where everyone else is now

I'm putting them back groups at a time as I test them to make sure they work. It's slow going. If you tell me which ones that you've played that you know work I can put them back quicker

From memory, the Mumu block game is the only name I can recall. I'm sure some other people can list theirs.

A suggestion if I may. If you're open to allowing others to help, I'm sure some people here would be more than happy to tackle some of these things for you.

saint · « **Reply #37 on:** October 16, 2009, 02:27:01 pm »

That'd be great

I'll set up a group of people who have access to the uncategorized games tonight.
