Title: Play Yacht against other players for BTC
Post by: BCEmporium on February 22, 2011, 02:18:19 PM
This is my first Bitcoin directed site.
It's an online game of Yacht (Yatzee-like dice game). You play against someone on the internet either for Bitcoins or for fun.

The whole system is Ajax/JSON/PHP - the game itself is done on the server side (PHP - mt_rand(1,6) for calculation of the dice value), the interface uses JQuery and Boxy.

All tables are 0.10, prize pool of 0.18 (so 0.09 + 0.01 entry) to the winner or return 0.10 to each one on draw.
This is due to beta stage, as it grows more mature I may create other values' tables.
If one disconnects or fails to act within 40 seconds lose.

Banking system for Bitcoins uses MyBitcoin SCI

The address: http://www.bityacht.com (yep... I know... sounds like funny, but I just noticed after register the domain)

Hope you enjoy.  :)

I add a feature to the website. It uses "non-IE friendly" components for which I could either go on hack to make it work on IE *sigh* and that probably would work for IE 7 and 8 but not on 9 or 10 or whatever crap Microsoft come up with in the future.
So I decided to close it to IE. Basically when you enter the site using IE you're redirected here:

Do you think I should add something to that text? Or go on hack for make it work with IE?  ???

Still hard to find folks who like to play yacht - or even know how to do it. Not a mainframe game, I know, but very addictive anyway, as long as you get used to it.

On the other feature, after the tests, I put up to run the bets on EC round of 16. Good luck.
