I'm working on the gallery, however, the arcade IS working at this time and I've loaded it with about 100 games ...
I'll put the games into categories as I go along ...
I'll update as I go ...
Have fun!

Ok, I just added a mod called "Arena" for the arcade where we can challenge each other one-on-one,
or 20, or however many you wish to add ...
It looks pretty bad ass ...
We'll play with it a bit and see what's up ...
-
The score was not saved because the session was missing
I broke 16k. Booerns. Display damn you.
PS - awesome.
-
Bahaha! It writes you a letter to know you're no longer #1 if someone out-does you!
Brilliant!
-
Which game didn't score?
I wanna get rid of those, or mark them as "Non-Scoring" ...
I can also disable the notifications ....
-
It was Asteroids, but I think what may have happened is my log in session timed out or something like that. I don't know.
-
hmm. So l-g being the 'clean' site and all the extras going to tsi has been scraped ?
or are we the test bunnies...
No, I dont care... I just was not expecting this.
-
Meh, I figured I'd add it for the fuck of it; it's off the beaten path and it doesn't clutter the way I set it up ...
I've promised a gallery for a while now, and I get bored, so, fuck it, why not an arcade?
-
You ever going to link to this shit or just make me sniff it out.
-
Look up in the navigation bar, it's in the buttons at the top ...
-
Nice one Dave.
-
Yeah, I think it's cool, and, as I said, it doesn't clutter a thing ...
-
Yeah, it's a simple link and totally easy to ignore if one isn't interested. The fact that Tru had to ask you to link it says something about how unintrusive it is.
-
I could see myself getting hooked on two games.
-
Which two?
-
I can't remember what it's called but the one game I tried was one I used to have for the Amiga. Si likes this.
-
Eskiv (ballo is the same type of game but i like the look of Eskiv and the lack of powerups)
Chain Reaction
other noteworthy...
blix simple puzzle game
Collector I wont play it again (a bit slow), but it's a nicely made game.

Nice ...
I'm glad you all like it and we all agree that it's just a nice "add on" and won't change anything about the boards themselves ...
-
Can we have a chat plug in now ?
-
Seriously?
-
No.
-
Good, most don't work for this SMF version ...

Airwar doesn't seem to allow scores to save. After you lose it just lets you replay or it lets you visit the creator's website.
Also the game Jewels appears to be unlosable. I tried desperately to die so I could go to sleep, but here it is 5:30 and I had to just give up and submit the score I had (which you can do before losing weirdly).
-
Some games are DoA btw.
I keep meaning to note them.
edit: wtf? I just made an edit... Marsrover, Miltarysnow, Vlax. Also Air Sk8ing loads wrong for me, it puts the ramp in the wrong place and leaves the guy to drop in off the back of it. Not your problem but ~shrug.
-

That's the correct setup for Air Sk8ing. Air Sk8ing is like the penguin game. It's not an error that the guy keeps dieing.
-
Ahh. I get it now.
-
Dave, can you find Studs for this arcade door?
-

I had to stretch this stolen button 12 px... but, it's easier than making one.
(http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af206/homeless-joe/arcade2.jpg)
Fixed the fuzz on the text.
I was going to push on and fix the colour... but I can't decide if I want to copy an existing button and paint px by px around the text I paste into it... I'm not happy with the way the colour still makes it fuzz.
-
Oh, rock on; we'll add it ...
Thanks ...
-
Can we have a chat plug in now ?
THAT!!!
I like to 'chat it up!'
Oh, wow. Oops. Way to kill THAT good idea, wenders...

OMG.
Have I told you that I love you, lately?
'Cuz, mang?
I FUCKING DO!!!
An Undercover Artist ~
it's not something that anyone would ever notice, but it makes a diff,
to YOU,
'cuz there's a perfect way, and sometimes,
what is moving YOU isn't something that anyone else could ever be expected to understand.
And you are TOO Fucking COOL, 'cuz I don't believe you actually CARE what we think about it;
it matters to YOU, and we can like it, or lump it!
Yes. That IS how it is.
Zoomie told me that.
-
Dave, can you find Studs for this arcade door?
I fucking WISH ...
I'd love to play that game again ....
-
i have too short of an attention span to read this thread. Is the virus game back? The one where you flip the things to create a chain reaction? Maybe it was called chain reaction
-
Chain Reacton; it's on there ...
-
I've been playing several games recently by just asking for random games over and over again.
I've found problems with the following games:
1)Quickshot - can't save score
2)Airwar - can't save score
3)Marsrover - flash is busted and no game starts.
4)Smack the Rabbit - Thrash got a score but I can't get it to be interactive. How'd you do that Thrash?
I'll add more here as I discover new problems.
I'm also curious if these are specific to my computer or if they're general problems so some verification would be cool.
EDIT: striking #4
-
4)Smack the Rabbit - Thrash got a score but I can't get it to be interactive. How'd you do that Thrash?
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
-
OK scratch #4. I can play it now. My computer must have been fucking up.
Instead add the following:
4)Militarysnow - flash is busted and no game starts.
5)Skiprock - flash is busted and no game starts.
6)Sonicblox - flash is busted and no game starts.
7)Vlax - flash is busted and no game starts.
8)Color Boxes - championship status is awarded to the person who sucks the worst at the game. This skews the statistics so I think the game should be cut.
9)Funkypong - It's way too easy to cheat in this game. It should also be removed so it doesn't skew the statistics.
10)Jewels - No way to lose the game so infinite score is the result unless it boots you out. This skews the statistics so the game should be cut out.
EDIT:
Adding more.
EDIT 2:
I think that's it for dud games. Conveniently, of the 110 games offered, deleting the 10 I just listed would make the list a round 100 games and would allow us to calculate our awesomeness nerd percentages exceptionally easily.
-
I can change the way a game scores, either highest or lowest "wins" ...
I'll check them out and remove as need-be ...
Thanks ...
If there's more, lemmie know ...
-

Ah in that case, #8 Colorboxes can be salvaged. Lowest is supposed to win.
Everything else needs to be figured out or needs to go.
I can say that Funkypong and Jewels are both definitely removable.
It's impossible to lose at Jewels so the score is just a snapshot of the player's score when he gets too damn bored to keep going.
Funkypong actually starts in a position where if you walk away from the computer without touching it after saying "start" the game will just rack on the points without any interference. This also allows a player to achieve whatever score he wants without any effort. That's not a game anymore.
-
Really?!?!?!
Interesting ...
-
What is this, mockery?
-
No, surprise ...
-
Oh OK then.
Videopoker is really easy to cheat on as well since the money decrementing function only kicks in after you say "play" and since cashout doesn't actually take away your money. If you're ever about to lose then you just reload the page to restart the game and you get new cards and all is well. It's totally easy to cheat although whoever thought of making $1k be the most you can bid in a single click is the devil himself. To beat the high score I had to click the "bid $1000" button about a million times. No lie. My arm hurts.
Anyway I say we get rid of the game (or mark it as a cheat-ridden game) since it's so easy to cheat.
So to recap, I find problems with the following games:
Games that don't save scores
1) Quickshot
2) Airwar
Games that don't start up (busted flash?)
3) Marsrover
4) Militarysnow
5) Skiprock
6) Sonicblox
7) Vlax
Games that allow easy cheating
8 ) Funkypong - If you start the game without moving the paddle you can score an infinite score if you give it enough time.
9) Videopoker - If you reset the game instead of clicking "Play" after losing money then you don't lose money but you can get new cards.
10) Jewels - This isn't cheating per se, but there is really no way to lose the game so infinite score is the result if you are patient enough.
Games that require tweaking of game-scoring rules
11) Color Boxes - Lowest score should be the champion.
12) Solitaire - I believe this game should also have lowest score as champion as I believe score is linked to time taken to beat it. I've only scored once, though, so this will take more investigation.
**I'd recommend getting rid of games 3-7 if they really can't be made to work. I'd recommend either getting rid of or perhaps just attaching big disclaimers to 1 and 2 (unless the scoring can be made to work) and to 8-10.
-
Make notes in the comments of the games themselves in the meantime ...
Again, I'll adjust and work them soon enough, as well as find why the other games aren't working ...
-
I'd also like an explanation for this common error:
An Error Has Occurred!
Score was not saved because session is missing.
It's irritating to waste time becoming super champion and then be rewarded with that instead of a spot on the bragging ladder.
I'm still logged in when I get this so it's not as if I've been logged out. What the heck causes this?
EDIT: I've also found double entry errors to be common. If you somehow click "send score" twice accidentally then you sometimes get two identical scores reported on the scoreboard. I don't know if we can cure this but we should be aware that that is not so cool. I think you can do the same thing by reloading the page and opting to "resend" the data. I don't really want to try.
EDIT 2: Oh by the way, "Resending" the data after getting a "session is missing" error doesn't fix it. It's always an error no matter how many times you resend the data. Makes me think the forum is losing track of which game you were playing or something.
-
What game does that?
-
Most recently duckhunt, but I've seen it happen other times as well.
If I play the game again then the score reporting usually works so this isn't the most easily repeatable error. It's just annoying.
-
I've seen it a few times as well ...
I'll note the games it happens on as well ...
-
If ever I'm in the market for a software tester, I'm calling doormouse.
-
No fucking shit, right?
-
Ok, I think I fixed or got rid of most of the bad games/scorings ....
Additionally, I can adjust the sizes of the games as well; for example, I made Solitaire smaller ...
If you see more games that are either too big or too small, let me know and I'll straighten 'em out ...
-
Check out the Arena fairly often; I need to test out the different modes in it ...
Right now there's BurgerTime and it's set for 3 people, KNOCKOUT Style ...
-
Ok, I set up a 3 person NORMAL Style one as well so we can see the difference ...
I'm thinking, in KNOCKOUT, as there's more people, the one that beats the score eliminates the other, etc ...
... whereas a NORMAL you just all play and there's a winner or not
-
Hey, button !
remember
-
C'mon, need more takers ...
-
I cant use it though a proxy.
-
Bet I can crash it.
-
When did the highscores die ?
-
High scores died?
-
Sorry. I should have said "reset".
-
Hmmm ... I'll take a look ....
-
I also should have said "sometime, maybe a month or two ago.".
-
Odd ...
Oh, well ...
More things to build back up again ....
-
Q: You know how hard it is to get 50k on blix ?
A: Yes !
I got within 9k... Error saving HS session blahblahblah F U C K.
but ~shrug...
edit: just went to play... the personal best is there... stupid fucking plugin game thingy.
-
Scores reset? Booerns. My whole life is meaningless now.
-
It keeps your personal best ....
-
I had to look up booerns.
