I think you ought to write your game in javascript and canvas to achieve maximum distribution.

[bulanula]

Am I just dumb ?

There is no link or anything to get the game as I see it

[senbonzakura]

yes give me some time please, trying to reduce the size, then will upload. I dont want just 1 person to download and get all the bitcoins

to download game www.bitover.com/B_Island.zip

don't forget to include " " when entering your bitcoin address, otherwise the bitcoinD will crash and I will have to restart it.

Good Luck, hope you win and figure out the puzzle in stage 3

[senbonzakura]

first 2 to respond with the answer from puzzle stage 3, get 0.05 BTC each  (after winning and getting the 0.05 BTC from the game, take a screenshot and send me via pm [or just send the answer via pm] )

@hongus

I think you can do better

[wachtwoord]

Not to be an ass, but it would be fairly easy to put a virus/trojan/wallet stealer in this. Without the source code I'd advise running on a different (virtual) machine than the computer that holds your wallet at least.

[senbonzakura]

the game connects only once to the vps where the wallet is (at the end when it sends you the btc)

2 x have won so far. Claim your other 0.05 BTC.

This ^. I realise senbon is trusted but I would never run something like this on any Windblows that contains a wallet. He may not steal the BTC on sight but keep the private keys and they just get sweeped whenever the author feels like.

Not saying senbon will do this but just as a warning to noobs and other potential scammers that might try to do this. I am 99% sure that senbon's program is clean and he is an honest person but beware programs like this from unknown people in the future.

[wachtwoord]

To clarify: I was not accusing senbonzakura of anything or implying he is scamming people. Just wanted to say out loud what could potentially be done with this with trivial effort.

[hongus]

Okay I think that's as creative as I can get. Oh and also I cant beat the game the last stage question 2 with the circle, I dont get what its asking for.

[senbonzakura]

@ hongus

yes , the circle is a puzzle, I cant give you any hints, but it is really easy. Everything else good? music? , any bugs/errors ?

[senbonzakura]

winners



6 x winners, 2 addresses are the same, 1 second between them, so the send button was clicked twice quickly, need to fix that.

edit:- 7 winners now.

[drakahn]

300 hours in mspaint lol

i tried downloading the game but your server only lets me fetch a few mb before it goes to 'interupted' and it refuses to resume, i feel like i'm back in the 90's

[senbonzakura]

@drakahn

sent you a pm

anyone else having problems downloading the game, send me a pm, I will send you a link to download the game from another server.

lol, the circle has caught me up as well

i used to be better at this sort of thing lol, i blame technology, the puddle of goop i used to call a brain used to have a job, now its outsourced to internet

well if you solved P1 , i am pretty sure you can solve P2. Hope the background music helps you to think harder 

[kronosvl]

is this normal?

[senbonzakura]

@kronosvl

no its not , can you tell me how it happened, what caused it.

thanks

[teopless]

Seriously, give us some kind of hint for P2, if it is neither the circle's C nor A we have to find, then what?

Great game, no bugs, it's just the graphics that seem to have been made with MS Paint.  

[kronosvl]

@senbonzakura - it was a very close call (under 1 second from my human perception, probably less) till the time expired

The memory game was the hardest for me, the circle was easy ( I think) probaly because I have seen something similar on Stargate.

Give and ye shall receive is the final screen where I just put my BTC Adress and click Unlock?

6 or 5 different players have won so far, so those who won can give you a hint  

Graphics will be improved and more stages will be added with higher amount of BTC for a prize. This is version 1, everything seems to be working fine, just few bugs need to be fixed & adding error handling/exceptions

Give and ye shall receive is the final screen where I just put my BTC Adress and click Unlock?

1. that is where i got the idea for the puzzle(the circle), in future versions, I plan to do it just like stargate 

2. I managed to get the bug , yes close call , I think its the way I coded, I am using timers, when the time left is 0 and you immediately get the last point making it total 8 , you lose and win at same time and so you get something like that shown in your screenshot. But the next stage button appears so you can go to the next stage no problem. Just need to improve my coding a bit to fix that bug.

3. Give and ye shall receive is part of the puzzle in stage 3, remember the Question mark after the triangle and circle ? in P3 ? , when you win read whats in P3
then you can unlock. After that, it asks you to enter the BTC address, click once on "send button" wait 3 seconds(unblock firewall if asked), if successful a pop-up appears that says "btc sent".

[senbonzakura]

another winner 0.05 btc sent. total 7 winners. 0.35 btc sent

[kronosvl]

yep, was there after your explanation and claimed my reward. Thx.

few suggestions:

1. is weird to enter the address surrounded by "". Maybe you can change that.
2. Mute, unmute buttons
3. Is weird to have 2 windows open, maybe you could hide the main window when you are at a certain level?
4. Randomize positions on memory game

1. currently entering the btc address without "" crashes the bitcoinD. I will add validation to the textbox and improve the json-rpc.

2. yes can do that.

3. I will include a "back to main screen" button & hide the first window/form

4. ok

thanks, 2x 0.05 BTC still available , for first 2 that pm me with the answer they used to unlock (when receiving btc in the game)

Just wanted to say out loud what could potentially be done with this with trivial effort.

how do we know this wasn't an exe put out here on senbonzakura's hijacked forum account?  is there a gpg signed message or anything to verify?  the .zip is hosted by bitover.com, which has privacy protect on the registry information.

at this point, it looks like there has not been anyone claiming lost coins but running this .exe on anything but a separate throwaway vm is not a smart move.

does nobody think before they click?

[Liam W]

I'm clueless for 3.....

Can I have a clue?

[senbonzakura]

I'm clueless for 3.....

Can I have a clue?

write down answer P1 and P2 on paper (when you input the correct answer), then in P3 the question mark disappears, read the writing in blue, and then in next page/form when unlocking use P1 & P2 (to derive  a code/number) according to the riddle/writings in P3.

if you need more help, give me exact one you having problem with , is it P1 or P2 ? (P3 appears after you answer P1 & P2)

Both. What age range was this game made for? I'm 14......

[senbonzakura]

oh ok , I dont know if at 14 they teach Pythagoras' Theorem (P1), that's a clue too for what P2 is about

when you complete the game pm me with the number you used to unlock (you will see the unlock button), so you can get extra 0.05 BTC [so total you will have 0.10]

[bravetheheat]

I can't seem to 'cash out.' After completing all the puzzles and entering my bitcoin address and clicking the button, the game just hangs and stops responding. I'm doing this in a Virtualbox Win 7 VM, so might that be the problem?

the bitcoin client crashed, so i just restarted it now. you maybe forgot to include the " " quotation marks(which makes the client stop working) when entering a btc address ?

also click once on "send btc" button and wait few moments & unblock firewall (if it blocks it)

Oh, we had to include quotation marks?   That might have caused the problem. Sorry!

thats why i gave the example in RED in the last section of the game ( you were in a hurry to win some btc?   )

[bravetheheat]

Anyway, thanks  Received 0.05 BTC from PM-ing the answer to the last question, and received another 0.05 BTC for winning the game.

oh ok , I dont know if at 14 they teach Pythagoras' Theorem (P1), that's a clue too for what P2 is about

when you complete the game pm me with the number you used to unlock (you will see the unlock button), so you can get extra 0.05 BTC [so total you will have 0.10]

Well, I know about Pythagoras Theorem, but that didn't help. Do you need to work out the length of M?

well I cant get any clearer than that, pythagoras theorem is the key for P1.

Hmmm. Part 2 then - what is that....

Circle. Triangle. Pythagoras Thorem.....

[senbonzakura]

in stage 3

P1 is the triangle(which you use pythagoras), P2 is the Circle(which you use something else to figure it out, it gives you radius that is clue), P3 will show you some info after you submit the correct answers for P1 & P2 (needed to unlock in "Give and ye shall receive").

you need to hurry ! 0.4425 BTC remains , just few minutes ago 2 people won.

You wont believe how annoying this is.

I am 99% certain that I know what p1 is, but p2 is anyone's guess

[hongus]

so what was the answer to p2?

[senbonzakura]

so what was the answer to p2?

Nice!
I am very curious what were the right answers for part3?   

P1 , find M using Pythagoras' Theorem , answer = 5

P2 , pi(2 x R)  , circumference , answer 70.336

P3 , "give and ye shall receive"  answer = 35168  (multiply and abhor the period, and ye shall claim the treasure ! )

I'll try to make the next puzzle harder, with higher BTC prize (in version 2)

I enjoyed playing v1.0
I surely will do my my best, when the v2.0 comes out!

[drakahn]

-.- i thought it would be something like that, wasn't the radius 11.2?

pi * (2 * 11.2) = 70.371675440411

70.336 would be a radius of 11.1943221 or a pi of exactly 3.14, both of which are wrong

This is why I got it wrong. I used the 'pi' calculator button

yes, I just used the easiest way, 2 decimal places, pi = 3.14

In the next version, try to make the game accept multiple answers. I didn't finish the game just because I entered the whole answer in P2 instead of what you wanted.

I think this game is an awesome idea.  I can't seem to download it though.  I think you should try make it a web game to get more people to play, but I'm impressed that you got a working game!

yes, I just used the easiest way, 2 decimal places, pi = 3.14

pi is not 3.14, you should never use 3.14 as anything other than an estimate and you should never use estimates as answers to questions that don't say "estimate" 

[senbonzakura]

pi is not 3.14, you should never use 3.14 as anything other than an estimate and you should never use estimates as answers to questions that don't say "estimate" 

many people got it right without problems, its part of the puzzle, to find the correct pi/answer, through trial and error. expect more of these cases/situations in version 2.

Couldn't you just round whatever number is used before comparing it to the "correct" answer?

[senbonzakura]

i just picked 3.14, you had to guess that it was 3.14
