[ANN] Play a bomberman game with bitcoin!

[AnonBitCoiner]

Loving the concept. I just got destroyed by someone though...that guy has a LOT of coins already. It's annoying when the avatar doesn't move the full block so I just keep running into the wall haha

that guy has a LOT of coins already.

370,000 satoshis is not "a LOT" I have 1 M and it's still only 0.01 BTC.

It takes getting used to, but once you do, it's quite playable.

Try pressing keys in sequence, like: press Up, then press Left, then release Up after you turned, etc.

It will detect that you want to change direction and turn at the first available free left spot.

Ahh. I see; well, I'm in the negatives haha. Was still learning the gameplay when the guy decided to get me. I actually just tested that, and sequence pressing doesn't work..I just kept turning in a circle. I think it'd be cool if you could implement a chatbox! Also, when someone does get bombed, maintain the delay respawn timer, but (if I remember right) make it so the player cannot be affected by more than one bomb? Or is that an intended function

You press Up and start running up. Then you see a free left spot. Normally you would release the Up button and then press Left, trying to do it at the exact moment.

Well, you don't have to do it this way. If you are running up and want to turn left, you just press Left and wait for the character to turn, _then_ release Up.

This way you don't need to catch the exact moment to turn.

Almost finished

Yes, something like this should be a nice addition.

[fulgurite]

great idea, but what's your point?get BTC by playing game?

[o0o0]

Loving it but have a few recommendations.

- negative balance players. The idea is to steal another players coins right? I believe a person in positive that kills a person in negative still gets a reward? Maybe this should not be the case to reduce new players being fodder until they improve?

- you need a way to validate accounts. If you go negative its too easy to just make a new account... why struggle back from -10000 when you can just make a new account and get +tive credits?

- make the mass gold coin drop only occur when people are playing. Would this encourage people to play consistently rather than idle waiting for the coin drops? I can see bots abusing that later if its the case. Though mind you they'd just move every so often i guess to look like they are playing.

Things i'd like to see
---------------------
- Increase the board size by "alot" and make it so you can have 10 people playing. I remember a giant bomber man game years back that was a huge field with lots of players. Would be some good chaos

- assign people a skill level based on their k:d ratio (don't count suicides to prevent people changing rank at will). Maybe 2 faucet rooms to cover noobs and pros. I'm not very good and i must admit it frustrates me being owned constantly... infact i don't think i have a single kill.

- add some advertising or something in it and utilise the rewards from that to increase the occurance of coins to accomodate increased player numbers

You don't get a reward for killing people with negative balance.

You don't have to struggle back. It's a faucet mode, going negative doesn't matter.

- make the mass gold coin drop only occur when people are playing.

It's already that way. If you don't destroy walls, eventually they all will be filled with coins and the Super Prize fund won't be replenished anymore.

There are some technical limitations to this and it also doesn't guarantee more fun.

This can easily be gamed.

The faucet mode is not the primary mode of the game. As soon as there are enough players playing regular games it will probably be discontinued.

I can see how the negative balance can be frustrating though for someone that's unable to farm. As for the removal of the faucet mode, if someone is in the negative balance, then they won't be able to join any other rooms, as each room costs 100 satoshis (if I remember right). Furthermore, I think there should be a limit on how negative a person can go. Haha, for le newbies that struggle to obtain kills but want to have fun nonetheless.

[NxtChg]

Yeah, this can be done. Added to my to-do, will probably be in the next version.

[cheekychap]

An Online version might be a great addition to it.

An Online version might be a great addition to it.

I agree, but that requires rewriting the server part to use websockets, which are also not so good for fast gaming, compared to UDP.

But if enough people are interested, I can hire somebody to do the conversion.

[wizzardTim]

When will we see SIMcoin on this?

Obviously, when it's done

Looks fun!

It's on tomorrow's to do list.

Explain what? That 2 out of 53 antiviruses had false positives?

If anything, this is a very nice report.

Open file main.js from 'ui' folder and replace this:

   LEFT:  37,
   UP:    38,
   RIGHT: 39,
   DOWN:  40,

with this:

   LEFT:  65,
   UP:    87,
   RIGHT: 68,
   DOWN:  83,
