[Development]SatoshiRat - a bitcoin game

[Mitchell]

Also, change the way the played games are shown. The more games I play, the further "Last Race" get's pushed to the right. That is a bit annoying
You could try to use a dropdown box or something like that.

Solved the problem for the moment.

Yeah, that works too. For now

I added a list with all rats that played for better transparency.

It looks great! And apparently I am the number one at the moment. I did not see that coming.

[Mitchell]

The "balance" tab in "List Rats" shouldn't show pending games. I had 0.015+BTC win, send some more over and now I have -0.07799496BTC, because I haven't played those games yet.

Just a suggestion

EDIT: How about 1-vs-1 rooms and maybe rooms with higher bets?

Yes, i guess they shouldn't get counted cause they will be played in the future and the outcome is unknown.

Also i decided to increase the collateral transaction fee from 0.0002 to 0.00025. This is an extremely tiny increase that should go unnoticed but will help me cut the losses with the fees.

Tomorrow i will start implementing what i talked earlier in protecting the new players. They should not get associated with players above a certain level, in order to let the game be fair for everyone.

Well I don't mind. I also buy bribe all the time, just to support you :3 And that does sound good (for new players, not for me ).

Oh, I am sorry for spamming this thread btw.

I think this game has great potential, especially because you can add more option on how players can impact the outcome of a race. Some suggestions:

- Set out some prices for each race that are selected randomly from all prices available, some prices will be more or less rare and useful so the incentive to win that particular race is higher or lower and will encourage players to use more or less of their ressources to win

- Introduce items that impact the outcome of races, like extra steroids, boosts, slow downs for competing rats, rat poison, mouse traps, special food for between the races to develop the stats of your rat,..

- Increase player engagement by allowing them to trigger items (one time use) or item effects (multiple use or permanent effect) during or between races

- Allow commands to attack certain rats during the game or afterwards (poison them or have your rat fight them) to take out competition

- Make building stats more interesting by adding more stats or ways to improve, reduce them.

- Make race parcours diverse by including random effects, like weather, traps, cats or similar obstacles that impact the outcome of a game.

- Add a shop system

- Add trading of items between players

- Add other creatures, like cockroaches, spiders, cats, worms or similar with different abilities to compete against each other in addition to rats

just some ideas to make this more interesting!

I hard coded a limit of maximum 3 games per turn that can take place in the same time. The rest will start the next turn.

If in the future there will be too much game that waits, i'll increase this limit. But for now i think 3 is ok.

I noticed that. Really liked it! Do the rats still get the +9 health and +11 stamina between those 3 races?

Quick question. If I send 0.509 BTC to that address. Would that mean that I get 50 games and 50 bribes? Because according to the documentation, I think I should. Am I right or just a complete idiot?

[Spekulatius]

Why does my rat loose stamina and health which each race although I added bribes for 10 races in advance?

It currently has something like 80/130 Health and 90/130 Stamina. It says Pending Games: 4, Pending Bribes 4

I have the same thing.

A few bugs need to be ironed out which have been previously stated, but this is a really good game.

The rat still losses health and stamina like a normal rat, but because of the bribe at the start of the game that is ignored and the rat wiil run with full health and stamina. He can achieva maximum speed like a healthy rat. At he end of the race, the rat goes back to normal and even losses the health and stamina for that game, so it will get even more damaged.

Let's say you race in 5 games, first 3 are bribed, the other ones not. The 4th will start with your rat damaged and tired.

I hope i was clear.

What happens when my rat runs out of health and/or stamina? Will it die although I bribe?

Oh I see! Now I get it :3 Maybe add that to the bribe section?
@Above, I hope not

Health and stamina are always credited and the start of the turn, right before races are set up, so yes because a turn will pass between races your rat will heal.

0.509BTC i think it will work as i said, i never thought one can be mad enough to do such a bet.

I see and I'm a mad man. Just wanted to be sure ;p

No, he cannot go below 1 health and 1 stamina no matter what you do, and when he has that he will run with exactly 10 speed.
If you pay bribe the rat will run as a normal healty rat, but at the end of the race he will get back to his unhealth extremly tired state.

Don't forget to add this to the list. I think it would make the game even better:
- Live updates
- 1-vs-1 rooms
- Rooms with higher value bets
