"Name that song" game

<< < (14/32) > >>

NoBonus:
WOw! I cannot wait to try the new update! Can we get a sticky for this thread?

FoX:
I'm running into the same problems as Dream Web.

If 2 players enter at nearly the same time you can't tell who actuall rang in first (as all both players will start to blink).  This can often lead to the player who entered second to be forced to answer the next song right away.  I also ran into the program closing when 2 players entered at exactly the same time.

It also doesnt seem to hold all of my preferences when I set them (player ring in buttons and answer buttons).

As a "finished product" I would also include a "Save" button in the options screen.  I realize it saves the options once you change them but the first time I went in I didn't know that.

You also cant map some other buttons (left shift, right ctrl, etc....)

As Dream said, dont take these issues the wrong way.....this is a sweet game and people tonight where chomping at the bit to play it....it just wasn't playable with multiple people slamming down their buzzers at the same time.

Lave Laar:
A quick update to address the more serious bugs.

Space Fractal:
great work, Lava Laar (even I do not have seen it yet, because I have used my time to work on my own mini version, without stick and inspired from that version).

Keep working  :)

I'm have now got the game configuration (using the playlist system, wich I would have added first) to work, I now really make the main game to finished. It may have support up to 3 players at once (I have addressed the key-handler system to handle more players, which it was not have to do).

Fixed the player select bug
Fixed the preference bug
Program now loads the songlist at the start of the program and not at the start of every game.  Doh !  :-[

Included singleplayer / multiplayer select at startup.

For now it's not possible to map special keys like "shift" and "enter".  Maybe in a later version.
I can't find any problems with the players score not resetting.  Anyone else experiencing this ?
I can't duplicate the multiple artist answers either.  Are they spelled excactly the same ?

Outstanding updates / response time!


All of my previously reported bugs appear to be fixed... including the score reset between games, which you said you couldn't reproduce.

Suggestions I'd Still Love to See:

1.  Number of players should be selectable at start-up (1 through 4, not just single or multi).  Often have just 2 or three players.

2.  After each song round completes, put up a window that shows the artist / album info (maybe even the cover art, if available) for a few seconds before the next round

3.  Don't allow the SW to pick a song that is SHORTER in duration than the required countdown -  I've experienced this since you implemented start at random location.
     -  also, if you start from a random spot, don't start too close to the end - I've also experienced this since you put in start at random location

4.  When a player buzzes in and guesses incorrectly, remove their wrong guess from the choice list for remaining players.

5.  Allow mapping of DIFFERENT 1-5 buttons per player.  This feature will make it more playable standing around a 2 / 4 person MAME CP.

Thanks for all the work on this!
