Number Guessing Game [BETA] [Automated] [Freeplay avaliable!] Please test!

[mmavipc]

http://mmavipc.dyndns.org:8080/index.php

There's no minimum bet, but you cant withdraw funds unless you have a balance of 0.01BTC or higher. Free-play is available, just bet 0BTC.

For 150% and 200%, you enter a number, and it tells you whether the number it's thinking of is higher or lower than what you entered you have 6 chances.

For 300%, you have 12 chances, but it just tells you if the number is wrong or right.

Even if you don't want to bet anything, please test it out with freeplay, just for the sake of testing it.

Suggestions? Tweaks? Comments?

Ugly, but fun.  seems to work pretty well.

I'm better at making things work than making them pretty, when I get enough btc I'll probably hire someone to make it pretty

[bluefirecorp]

I'm willing to risk a bitcent

[runlinux]

i love/hate how you made the 150% un-winnable every time by 1 guess, lol.

[mmavipc]

i love/hate how you made the 150% un-winnable every time by 1 guess, lol.

It's winnable by guessing on that last entry. All gambling is in the operator's favor in one way or another. 300% is just a joke, I'd like to see someone bet some bitcoins on that, just so I can call them an idiot

Edit: whoever has ID 879, I think you made a user error. You sent BTC without actually letting the script know you sent them, you typed back instead of submitting it with nothing. It was only 0.005BTC though.

[bluefirecorp]

Mind bumping the payout up a bit? 175% for the first option <3

[mmavipc]

Maybe when I have more BTC I will.

[runlinux]

NOO!! those were mine... had to pay a 0.0005 fee to send it...

crap... what do you need so i can gamble my life's savings away?

[mmavipc]

Hold on, i'll add the monies to your balance. There, they should appear now.

Once my balance hits 0.5BTC i'll bump up the payouts by 50%, and then I'll change the max bet depending on my current balance.

[runlinux]

awesomeness.

Bot almost written to gamble (some ones?) savings away in a few seconds... lol.

[mmavipc]

1-10, how good/bad is it, and why?

[runlinux]

I give it a 9 as it's easy, I just wish the controls were a bit better. It's basically a 50% chance to 150% back. I'll take it!! I was up to .012, now down to .000204.

Also, check your number formatting. I am getting scientific notation at these low values.

[runlinux]

eh.. you can keep my 2.6320631182972E-13 bitcoins, lol

it was a fun time to waste 2 hours, lol.

[mmavipc]

Stats time:

Amount lost by players: 0.23215111BTC
Amount won by players: 0.16955111BTC
Amount I have gained: 0.06260000BTC

[Bananington]

I like this game very much. I really hope that you keep this up and running.  I give it a 8/10 for it's simplicity and fun. But it is very bare-bone. Add a nice fluid GUI and i'd give this a 10, hands down.

LIKES
-Simple
-Easy

DISLIKES
-Not a pretty GUI

I've bumped up the max bet to 0.05BTC, go wild

I am also a "back end" developer, but I recently did some front end work.  Javascript has come a long way.  Add in jQuery and jQuery UI, and it wasn't too bad.

Nah, it's understandable. I found another mistake.

On the page that instructs you on what address to send my BTC to for a deposit; you mispelled "menu" in this sentence "Type back at any time to go to the main meuu."

Am I correct in saying that if I withdraw I have to withdraw all of my BTC? I can't just withdraw a partial amount?(without emailing you of course)

When someone is playing a game, I can see the type of game, the number of chances they have left, their bet, and the number they must guess. After that, the only logging I have is the amount of BTC they've lost and the amount of BTC they've won.

I have encountered an issue here.

I had a balance of "0.0215"
I withdrew "0.0105"
and with the withdrawal fee of "0.001" I should have a remaining balance of "0.01"
It tells me my current balance is "0". I have not refreshed yet because I want to keep all of the above information viewable.

I have checked my Bitcoin wallet and I have recieved a deposit of "0.0095"

What more information do you need to fix this bug?

Would you guys be interested in a refferal-link type thing? You give someone your referral link and then 10% of their losses gets transferred to your balance?

I have some people I'm thinking of referring. Get this referral thingy set up please. I want to make some more coins. I appreciate your work.

It generates referral links now, you don't gain anything off of them yet, but you will gain 10% of the losses once I get it set up. While you wait for me to get off of my lazy ass though, you can start referring people.

[TTBit]

Game suggestion:

* number 0-99
* Player guesses number
* Computer guesses higher or lower by exactly 1 in the direction

This way it can be a 50/50 proposition. There must be an edge in this game, but I can't figure it out.

Example: [secret number is 86, give sha]

Player (0-99): 50
Computer: (higher and guesses 51)
Player (52-99): 90
Computer: (lower and guesses 89)
Player (52-88): 80
Computer: (higher and guesses 81)
Player (82-88): 85
Computer: (higher and guesses 86)

COMPUTER WINS!

Btw, don't worry about not getting coin from people's losses til I implement it, I'll run a script that'll give referrers the correct amount of coin based on the losses value I store in the DB.

Edit: max bet bumped up to 0.75BTC

[mmavipc]

fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me,  forgot to check that user would have enough funds when withdrawing. Max bet bumped down to 0.01BTC as I dont have the funds to account for variance anymore.

IP of asshole: 91.21.108.189

I owe people 0.12585BTC, to those people, it says in big bold letters BETA on the site, gambling in general is a risk, but even a bigger risk on a beta. You'll get your money back eventually, you just have to wait for people to gamble away their btc until I have a big enough balance for you to cash out.


Edit: This is what getting in the habit of writing code lazily does to you. I have an idea that will make stuff like this not happen again though, have a test game that's separate from the real game, that gets updated constantly and only alpha testers can access, once it's stable it gets pushed to production. Testers have to be people I can trust, so the only tester will be Bananington, for now.

@Bananington: I'll PM you details the next time I'm deving and set up the test game.

Did you try again? Sometimes the bitcoin server likes to error for no reason.

I hope you don't plan on shutting down the game. It really is SUPER simple and fun at the same time. I agree with Kais on the GUI feature. A nice GUI is important.


I'm sorry the game isn't making too much bitcoin for you but just keep at it. Even if you just let it go for a few months and then come back it should be fine. Just maintain your balance. I don't think you should give up on this project. I even have the game favorited for when I feel like a bit of a gamble.

I'm working on the GUI in my spare time, when it's ready for testing I'll let you in for free, and everyone else can get in by paying 0.09BTC. Sound good?

I understand the need for charging BTC for testing but I think it should be the other way around. I think you should pay people a bounty for testing. I'll do it for free(happily), but as for charging people to test... I don't think that will fly.

But I am excited for testing the GUI. Keep up the good work.

As long as it won't prevent others from playing the non-gui game during testing then I don't see why anyone would object.

Edit: shit, forgot to spray out secret key in return link, w/e it had 0 balance anyway, I'll just gen a new id.

[Bananington]

It looks really bare. Will I still be able to use the keyboard to select options? I would switch to just mouse commands(i.e. Clicking) and remove the numbers from the grey option boxes. Maybe explain what the "debug box" is for. There is also too much white space. Keep up the good work though.

The debug box is there so I can manually enter shit if something goes wrong. In the end it will be removed and will be mouse only, the numbers will be gone as well.
