as I said, almost no one played on it, I will add asian server a bit later

removed an asian server for now, very little games were played on it.


quick high level todo list,

- spectating and game replays (for debugging potential in-game issues)

- tournaments

- faucet mode

with these things done, I will consider this a beta release, do some marketing, and I will be ready to refund bets due to any in-game issues at this point. here we will see if this site will actually work and if people will use it.

- lagging fix experiments - there are a few things I can do to hide the lag and compensate, (moving more parts of the engine to the clientside) these things are complex but I will definitely try them out.



after this, and if people actually play the game, I will work on bomberman with infinite field and many players, new games, bring in more people to work on development, and such

sry for late replies I was away for a bit.


Yup, I'm aware of that issue, I've been working on other things, but now this has been resolved.


thanks!

about lags, I feel that if my ping is around 50ms, game is totally ok to play, how much is your ping?

game lags due to a network, can't help much with that, it happens with all online multiplayer games. bomberman is super sensitive lagging because its so fast paced, I know.

make sure you are not torrenting or straining your network connection in some other way when playing the game.

also, chrome works the best, on my machine I don't see a difference between ff and chrome, but maybe try chrome if your machine is slowish and see if it that helps at all

one more time, wall passing bug has been resolved

oh. ok. I'm collecting this data from users and will move servers or create new ones if nessesary.

btw I'm aware that there are not that many players on the site to play with atm and I'm ok with low traffic for now.

long term plan is to fix obvious bugs, and then implement game replays and spectating in order to debug individual game sessions.

when I'm sure everything works smoothly I can start working on getting more people to the site, including faucet mode with tournaments (winner of the tournament takes the faucet prize) which should bring you more players.

thanks everyone for your feedback and support.

hahaha yeah me too. when I first wrote it, I stopped working and was just giggling and saving names into good_names.txt

good idea! on todo list

ok, enabled deposits/withdrawals, you can play for btc!
transactions are registered within 30 seconds.
you can withdraw after 3 confirmations (on both incoming and outgoing transactions (outgoing because this gives me some initial throttling just so someone doesn't make 1000 1 satoshi withdrawals for fun ))

transactions can be as small as you'd like, server will pay transaction fees

server edge is 10%, just initial test, this will be tweaked


pls don't send btc you aren't ready to lose due to some stupid bug, lets save time for you and for me restoring balances, this is just a test.



PS try clicking on btc amounts anywhere on the site - this changes a currency display, satoshi (サ), mBtc or USD

oh, no point in solo play, that's just for a test, you should play against someone..

yeah, not many players yet, still under heavy development, so I'm not working on making it popular yet

yeah, it can be worked around with more servers, closer to players. I'm collecting statistics on pings from different places to deal with this

oh, a mistake on my side, I'll sort it out.
-edit-
fixed!

hahaha yeah yeah I know, didn't call you a jerk.





thank you!

haha yeah I know, I  figured people have better things to do then to be dicks, so it wasn't high on the priority list, but I will fix this in the future. like I can hide canceled games.

lets wait a bit and see if this issue persists in the next few hours. might be network.

super weird, reloading should trigger a reconnect, try that?

everything works ok on my side, I'll test it out and see what's up, tnx.

totally occupied with this next big update that enables payments, a lot of changes in it, will make sure everything is ok after the publish

no, I don't like this. This rewards persistence and not skill. There will be a faucet mode, but you will fight other players for a reward.
a simple singleplayer, entirely offline, might be implemented as a practice though.

oh oh, its not a browsers fault, its my fault I'll fix it,

but.. yeah, there is, chrome has the fastest javascript interpreter, try the chrome out, you might notice a difference.



great to see people interested like this, working hard on polishing everything up!

oh yeah, me too. your bomberman doesn't actuallly go through the wall. your browser thinks he did. try placing a bomb after passing through the wall, you'll see. its a bug with server not informing the browser with 'oh oh you can't go there'

thanks. nodejs, coffee. most things on top of it are custom written

a system is designed in such a way that a lot of funds can never be stolen, I'm not scared of having bugs in the server, and they will be fixed as they get discovered.


I will enable deposits tomorrow per your request, with a huge huge warning that this crashes like half of the time, and do it only if you'd really really like to, but consider it a gamble, I won't spend time debugging individual games and giving people money back yet as that would take too much time away from development at the moment.

thanks, a lot of work to be done popped up today, will work hard to enable payments asap.
