Sujet: Re: Notation box

I was thinking, and sorry for mentioning another site, but like gt's, so that we can make little notes about our games progress, or maybe a move we should have or have not made. Does that make sense?

Sujet: Re: Notation box

Yes, it is possible. And where should the personal notes be displayed?

Sujet: Notation box

If you could can we get a box to but personal notations for our games?

My browser shows all squares of the same size. But maybe some other browsers have problems with that. Please let me know which squares ot the game board are wrong and I will investigate it closely.

Sujet: Tank Battle

Thanks for creating the size variation for this game, it is just right. But...there's aways a but, some of the squares are different sizes which makes it difficult to judge where your tank can move to. Can this be fixed?

Second thought - these type of games carry a large data base load and could possibly slow the server down.

Instead of scrabble, which you have to have a license to put it on your website. How about a game similiar to the 1 played at littlegolem.net. It's a combination of scrabble/boggle.

Nikki: Backgammon is my nightmare ;-) But I'll definitely add it, I promise.
Kevin: Yes, that could be a useful feature. Added to the list ;-)
Cubs: The problem of Scrabble is the license. You know, Mattel owns the license and I don't support if would be cheap. Does anybody know how much is the licence?

My own stupid suggestions:
How about Scrabble? How about Shantraj - that is, the original form of chess before the pieces became nuclear-powered?

Sujet: Just in case your TODO list isn't quite long enough (lol)...

In chess / checkers / Tank Battle / etc, would it be possible to indicate if a piece was taken with the last move, and if so, what the piece was?

Sujet: backgammon

Hi Fencer, great site :)
I was just wondering if you have an estimate as to when you will get backgammon here. I am waiting patiently ;)

29. Novembre 2002, 18:18:08

Tony: About conditional moves, I am afraid that it could cause an overall performance loss because of too many new methods and calculations at the source code. I can consider it later, I need to test such unusual features first.
About ratings, how could you avoid cheaters to get high BKR by winning fake games with fake players [and increasing their BKR by 1 for nothing]?

29. Novembre 2002, 11:26:43

Sujet: Ratings - Just 1 point?

I know that it is fair and just not to get any increase in yr rating, if the other player is too far below. But wouldn't just 1 point be reasonable? Just for the effort of playing an unrated player; after all they have to start somewhere.

29. Novembre 2002, 10:10:43

Sujet: Re: Yep, me again! (re: reversi)

Following on from Kevin's 'no move bounce back request', please would you consider conditional moves. For example, in Five Line, your opponent may have to stop a four and you could say 'If (the square where he needs to put his piece), then ...' I appreciate that this would be horribly difficult but it would speed up games enormously.

29. Novembre 2002, 06:50:11

Kevin: I'll look at the vacations. It should not happen.
Mystery Man: That's why the system removes all invalid > and < occurences in order to protect itself against bad HTML tags which could corrupt the whole page. I am working on a better HTML validator but it will take some time. Meanwhile, you can use < and > instead.

Sujet: >(~¿O)7 Fencer..

I have a question.. See my face in the subject above.. Why is it when I write a message to my opponent, in the game, that when I put in that face (in place of :-)) a smile) does my message end up being deleted, after I submit the move, but the face (with the exception of the right pointing "arrow" I use for an ear) still remains..??

29. Novembre 2002, 05:28:43

Sujet: Re: Yep, me again! (re: reversi)

Yes, that's what I was thinking too.. Should be as an "automatic-bounce-back" to you (as long as your opponent has no move)
This site is getting better & better all the time.. :-))

29. Novembre 2002, 04:00:26

Kevin

Sujet: Yep, me again! (re: reversi)

Would it be possible to make it so if your opponent has no moves you can play again (even if it just sends it right back to you without going through your opponent) rahter than having to wait for your opponent to send it back to you? It can really speed up games when one player can do several moves in a row because their opponent can't make them.
Thanks Fencer, you're doing a great job!!

Sujet: Tank battle

Would it be possible to be able to adjust the size of the game board? I'm on a web and that is the only game that I can't see the whole board at once.

Sujet: Days Off / Vacation

I noticed just now i changed the month on the Calandar (in the settings section) from November to December because there wasn't even any boxes left to check in November! When i did this (even though i didn't click save) the box to select days off went away (so i can't change them for a week - even though i didn't touch the days off). I think days off and vacation should be seperate (at least so changing one doesn't make it think you changed the other).

Sujet: Number of Moves

If I look at my own finished games, I can see the number of moves we made (last column). However, If I look at someone else's finished games, the last column shows the time limit (i.e. 1 day). Could that be changed to numbers of moves, please?

decline.. is there anyway.. and I know im asking always for stuff.. but when a person is maxed out and cant accept a game invite.. it just gives the option to decline.. i dont want ppl to think im rude an just hit decline.. any way we can have a message box to explain why we have to decline as in my case I have no room left for games?

20. Novembre 2002, 20:27:54

Sujet: Re: players lists

It is already possible :-) The small green arrow at the top of the player list marks the column which is used for sorting. If you want to sort the list by another column, just click on the column title [membership, user name, ...]. Click again and the sorting direction will be reversed [the green arrow orientation will change].

Sujet: players lists

I Hope I say this right.. a few of us are wondering if there is an easier way to see the player list data base.. right now players are listed by the date they joined the site.. so its hard for us to find friends ID's that may have joined.. would it be possible to have the list go by date of join or have the option to list players by ID alphabetically as well? just a thought
