[ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain

[MithrilMan]

new release of my client will have that kind of feature too, togheter with other fancy one like big number to highlight steps, and boxes where the hunter have waypoints

I'm publishing a video right now here, very short without speach, but it's enough to let you understand what can do


VIDEO >> https://youtu.be/wdD-2usB0F4


just look how paths changes acting on the GUI icons and when zoom changes (i have two path visualizals: when you are close you see the block numbers and the numbers animations, when you are zoomed out, i have an animation that thick single sement in order to have a clue about the path points order

note that the Max Visible Path Lenght apply on every kind of path, except your hunters' queued moves, so the path you are actually building (in the video the gray one), this is because you should always see what you are going to send!

some pics in this album http://imgur.com/a/vZG4q (click to see the pics bigger)



normal path (look to the left, the menu to pick the path size)





this one is the same (pending) path, that has been trimmed at the 8th point as per Max Visible Path Lenght settings





this one shows that the queued path aren't affected by the Max Visible Path Lenght limit



in the video you can see even how pending paths are easily shown respect current version (more on that in future videos)

Nice! Also would be great to have a simple "Let's Play" video to show the regular gameplay and fun of the game to people who have not yet played the game.

I also have not played it yet and would love such video.

yes it's pretty valid except that now you can have just one hunter per team, so i simplified the GUI to just show a list of what previous were called "generals".
And hearts doesn't exists anymore too.
moreover i'm not so fluent in english so this could impact the video understanding, I need to create proper tutorials divided by sections, but this would be lot of work that actually i can't handle, so if anyone want to contribute contact me or just create your own live show using the client (something like the games shown on twitch, with live sessions

This is what i would like to do too, record a game session, problem is that i've a daily job and a little daughter and finding the time to be able to free speach (during night) and have time isn't easy

The CoinFest Challenge will be a great opportunity to get some gameplay footage, what with everyone fighting for the prize--we should make sure to do that.

Speaking of which, we got a lot of great feedback on our poll to decide the rules of the Challenge, and so more details will be announced soon... we could use more votes, though, so the poll is still open. GO HERE to cast your vote and make your voice heard before it's too late.

It's been a while, but I've just updated the blockchain download at chain.huntercoin.org.

Just a quick few questions to the developers and wallet developers like Wiggi and MithrilMan:

Is everything you use for displaying the game board and looking at what move(s) other players are about to make taken from the "game_getstate" call? Or do you also have to look at the mempool and decode pending txs?

Also, how can you tell which tiles are impassible?

hi mate.

yes everything is in game_getstate
except moves which are not in the chain which come from name_pending
the obstacle layer is in one of source files map.cpp or something similar.
will look tomorrow.

Coolyo, thanks. I'm thinking about trying to do a roguelike/ascii representation of the map...go in the opposite direction of wiggi

WTF, I just downloaded the whole thing yesterday!

I know some video game focused YouTubers who most likely would be down for creating a nice lets play video, such as:

Let me know what you think and I can help you with that.

[Flomess]

Wow, HUC is back?
I played it alot when huntercoin was launched, was one of the first players to get to the crown of fortune! Downloading the chain again, thank you snailbrain for keeping the development going!

[wiggi]

will look tomorrow.

You can't tell without thinking if woken up at 4am?

Coolyo, thanks. I'm thinking about trying to do a roguelike/ascii representation of the map...go in the opposite direction of wiggi

I'm actually a big fan of roguelike ascii representation, even if semi transparent fireballs will look better on RockPaperShotgun.

[Vaccomondus]

can you add prune mode for this?

That's what the upcoming update is for

Sorry!   You can use the FTP access to download only those files that have changed (via their timestamp).

[Flomess]

I don't quite get the 1.3.01 rules; if i destruct near an enemy who costed 200HUC and holds 30HUC, will he drop 230HUC? Will i die?
And what does the "Hunters Value will be refunded upon Disaster" mean? If they destroy my hunter will i be refunded 200HUC? But then i won't drop the 200 HUC will i?

when will be released?

which laptop model is it?
what cpu/gpu?
windows version? (32bit/64bit)

guessing, laptop doesn't support hardware acceleration and the clients need it..
