Thanks. Will check it out.

It looks great but pretty confusing.. isn't it going to get pretty "messy" when it's many players at the same board?

#EDIT: Aah.. you can place the boat at the same position as another player

That's right! btw, each player can also place multiple ships on the board!

In the coming weeks, we are planning to introduce a p2p element into the game so that players that out-survive others will get extra returns from p2p.

This way, players that strategize and out-survive will overcome house edge from other players!

Sounds awesome It was pretty confusing to understand in the beginning what actually happend.. if it was good to only have 1 ship or more ships.. and what the "payout outcome" will be.
Needed to experiment some to get a hold on that.. maybe explain more about the "payout structure" in your FAQ.

Thanks for the feedback. We will definitely improve our FAQ.

Personally, I generally like to place multiple-ships. Because even if one ship gets sunk, I can wait for the remaining ships to earn a return and then cashout! I find multiship to be a lot more fun than singles.

Each round has a payout multiple for each ship, the payout multiple that you see in the middle of the board is your current payout multiple (taking all your ships into account).

For example, if you placed 2 ships:

Ship 1 got sunk
Ship 2 is current on a 3x payout multiple

Then you current payout multiple will be 1.5x (assuming both bets have the same value)

Makes sense?

Really nice game. Feels much like Money Pot. What happens if the player gets disconnected and is not able to press Cashout?
Happened, with me and I lost the balance. A better thing might be to be able to cashout right there.

Great idea! Big fan of Battleship. Cant wait to try it out later.

Hi Arvindr,

This is an awesome suggestion. I am going to put it to the top of our feature request and make sure our engineers implement this asap!



What else would you like to see in the game?

[kenobi]

Great idea! Big fan of Battleship. Cant wait to try it out later.

There is also a 10 bit faucet. Enough to place 10 ships! Check out the game on us!

[Matze]

Any channce will there be auto cashout?

[lili song]

nice game,
I've play and it's fun.
But sometimes i lose all

If only there's many type of battlebase ( 4 blocks or less )
it will more fun 

[myohmy81]

COOL GAME
NEW IDEA VERY GOOD~

[kenobi]

Any channce will there be auto cashout?

We have actually received this request a few times!

Sure, it is in the works!

[rammy2k2]

congrats on the idea, this is something new 100%

Some feedback:

* Placing multiple ships is great, it's fun how you don't completely die at once. From the house perspectives, this game is a lot more appealing then money pot as multiple players iron out the per-game variance.

* I like the provably fair scheme, it's cool how the server is allowed to target a player (if it wanted) yet still be fair. However, I would like to see the maths published of how you calculate the multiplier as well as a layman's explanation (e.g. house edge)

HOWEVER, it's not actually provably fair. This is because the odds reflect the fact that the server dumbly bombs you. But we have no idea if this is true or not. So the way to make this fair, is make the server intelligently bomb (e.g. not target pointless tiles), and have the odds reflect that.


* Sometimes the network lag at time makes the game unplayable. I often see 10 bombs at a time. And haven't finished placing my ships before it starts. What I would like to do is have an atomic place bet option, where I can layout my ships, bet per ship and autocashout at once. And then atomically bet. The place bet screen could remember your ship configuration to reuse for next game.

* It's easy to have a balance less than the min bet, but greater than the faucet req.

* I'd would like a game history, if not for all games but the games I played. Allow me to do a review/audit

* You should use bits instead of mBTC

First of all, I would like to thank espringe. Espringe gave me a lot of feedbacks privately as well and truly is a good guy. And an inspiration for creating moneypot

I would like to address the comments:

1. Provably Fair Scheme

- I like the feedback of intelligent bombing! Although I fear that it would be make the game less fun. (Becaues there are visually less spots that the bombs can hit). I am going to write up a version that does intelligent version to see how it looks
- Here is an alternative scheme that I would like to propose:
   - The shuffle is done with Fisher-Yates
   - The critical point is the random number generator in the algorithmn
   - We can therefore prove the server is "dumb bombing" by using a deterministic random number generator with Fisher-Yates and publish the seed after the end of each day or something
  - Thoughts on this?

2. Latency

- Yes, we were experiementing with a few things. (That slowed the connection down). We have now improved it so you should no longer see latency like that.

3. Faucet erq
- Fixed

4. Game history
- Yes. 1000 times yes! We are working on that. (It is easy, but we just gotta put up those pages)
