Arcade Stuff

[Bruce Brakel]

Might as well have a topic for arcade stuff. 

So, Mirth, can you do anything cool with the arcade, like have it automatically sort the games by most played in the last 72 hours or anything? 

[Jon Brakel]

We need a disc golf game in the arcade!

[mirth]

Not sure on the arcade bruce. I can see various stats but dunno about what you're looking for.

Jon - I agree!

[Bruce Brakel]

Do you have control over what's in the arcade or did the games come with the software?

[tacimala]

From what I know of this forum software, the games come pretty standard with it, but there are lots of games out there that can be added to it pretty easily as well.

[mirth]

The mod came without games but I added all the ones you see there. I assume there are a bunch more out there.

Hey Mirth,
For some reason the game Plasmanaut v2 isn't accepting scores now for the leaderboard.  It was before!  I just scored a decently modest 47... enough to put me in 1st... and it still has me marked at 0.  It gives an error after you click submit.  It redirects me to http://discontinuum.org/forums/index.php?action=arcade for the url and gives the error of "Invalid request variable."

Any help?  I've tried both popup mode and in the standard window mode.

uhh, I dunno. I just played plasmanaut & it took my score fine...

not sure if you can get them on the arcade or not but worth a try

grr. wonder why.  I tried both at work and at home and neither work.  I tried in IE6 SP2 at work and IE6 SP1 at home.  I also tried FireFox at home.  i tried playing from my favorites and not from my favorites.  Maybe it doesn't like that I have it in my favorites

[mirth]

lol. cookies maybe? its a stretch...

I was having the same problem with Plasmanaut 2 but only after the first level.  If you don't complete the first level, it will submit your score.

yes, same with Amira.  if you beat the game (score =45), then it will not submit that score.

Where's the proof to back this up? I don't see Cannon Boy listed as one of the top 3 in the Arcade....

On the Plumber game I keep dying at 12th level even though I have a properly connected pipeline with more than 12 pipe pieces in it.  The rules offer no clue as to what other criteria might be required to qualify for a properly qualified pipe. 

Anybody know?

[pooleje]

I used the drain to the right and it worked fine.

[Bruce Brakel]

I figured that out eventually.  On levels 12 and 14-18 you have to use the drain that works.  I made a list but then the list turned out to be no good.  Being dyslexic, sometimes the right drain is on the left.

[Bruce Brakel]

O.k., I'm now the champion of six games.  I need someone to bump off Mukukenow because he and I are tied at six.  I'll see if I can do my own dirty work by winning back radial snake

swanny taking my easter eggs and poole taking my cheetah race is just really annoying.  now i guess i'll have to take back my seconds of madness from schimo so i can get some breathing room.
