well let the arcade games begin... ! put pac man .. maybe tanks

  ..... keep making multiplayer games 

let me check the leaderboards.....

oops you are still not there

You are dump sir but keep watching ....

thanks! yup, totally agree with everything.
player controls are crucial.
still polishing up some small (but important) things about joining games/kicking inactive people and such, and then I'll get to core gameplay.

also, yes, I'd like to publish version history and development plan, will implement some kind of a small light forum within the website I think,



the server is down atm, not sure what's going on, the service started eating memory like crazy, should be back up in a few hours

I just played my first game and this is absolutely fantastic. I can see the potential games like this has thanks to the new paradigm BTC brings, we can make tiny bets, or insanely big bets instantly. I would love a way to keep up with updates, to see what's being improved. From what I gathered, the first priority should be to make the controls feel more responsive due lag issues.

having some issues, this happened once before when we launched, I'm investigating. might be some kind of an attack, but who knows.

- edit -

not at home right now, will work on it soon

Just had an awesome 4 player game, but lost - 2nd to last to die

And also the admin can always look through the different games played of someone to see if they are cheating or not, it would simply be impossible, a simple report button for cheating would be enough to stop any cheater.

there is very little cr*p I'm actually surprised at how well this has been receieved and how awesome and enthusiastic the small community around the game is. thanks everyone.

yes, I am considering looking for investors and getting more people on board with the development (not php though, this is written on top of nodejs), (I do have everything under control, but this is a job for more people. there is a lot of work to do and a lot of new stuff I'd still like to see)

not sure how to proceed with investors atm, didn't have time to do research. will consider things like btc based crowdfunding, selling stock (again - btc), or asking for a more standard (more serious?) sillicon valley style investor. I will meet some ppl to talk about this soon.
 

I like how when you select a different server, a ping is sent showing you the reply ! Good idea.

You ever need some sponsoring or have any ideas shoot them my way, I work with an awesome PHP dev and would love to help but you look like you have all in order.

Most people who post cr*p (Sorry for my language) about your service are normally just jealous they can't do better!

yup, didn't sleep much in the last few days, a lot of small changes have been introduced which together, make the whole exprience much better. (try clicking on avatars:)) its still early and rough though, and I have a lot of fixes and features to still finish.

I'm fixing critical UI stuff now, and then will get back to the most important thing: gameplay itself. its a bit rough around the edges atm and I'd like to make it way smoother.

Pretty fun, played a few games with the guys at work, really enjoyable gameplay!

wow surely gonna test. I love bomberman

It is not as simple as you are trying to imply here. Writing a competent AI for bomberman would require far more than 1h as you said.
Is it doable ? Yes. The probability of it happening is very low and as mentioned by the admin, it can be countered with anti cheat mechanics. The reward simply isnt there, anyone with that knowledge and skillset has far more profitable things to do than scam a few satoshis.

It is nice to see your game has improved a lot since the last time I checked. I like the addition of new servers, affiliate system and replays to the ended games. It would be even better if we can throw bombs and kick bombs, like in the original bomberman game.

You put lots of effort on this game that you became so blind but ... OK my last words get ready to be called a scammer soon  . (I pomise)

can you please stop spreading fear? do you own a gambling site? This is getting a bit annoying.

This will be my last comment on bots/cheating and I will link to this post if it gets mentioned again:

1 All multiplayer games have a potential problem with cheaters (aimbots in FPS and such) this game is no different. Web is just a transport mecahnism.
Multiplayer games rarely die or fail or get destroyed due to this issue.

With this game, everyone has all the information, so the only way to cheat would be to make a very good bomberman AI. If you actually do this, (which you probably won't) please share it! a singleplayer mode for practice or addable bot players would be awesome

2 There are many very varied and subtile approaches to detecting bots. A few of the top of my head would be client fingerprinting, polymorphic api, statistical analysis. I will not go into details.
I'm prepared for an arms race in this context but would really like to postpone this, as I (and everyone else) would prefer me to work on cool new features then on bot detection.

3 If playing for money you'd usually play a few games with a person, introduce BTC if you have a similar skill and is fun, you also chat together. it would be tons of manual labor together with technical knowledge to scam people.

4 Anyone able to keep from being detected for any significant amount of time would be highly skilled, and could profit waaay more from spending time on something else, like a well paying job.

5, and most importantly
If needed we can implement some kind of trust/registration/ban/similar skill matching system.
visible win/lose statistics for all players are already implemented.
I'm nerdy so I'd actually love to see bots playing against each other once matched together by simmilar skill matching system.


and now to reply to the only concrete things that you did say:


All multiplayer games have client side of course. In this case, the gameplay itself is simulated on the serverside, server decides who wins. you can't hack your way to victory.
You'd have to implement a great bomberman AI for this. (again plz share it if you do, a singleplayer mode would be great to have)


tell me exactly where I lied about something and of course provide evidence for your accusations.


lastly, let's stop with talking, your next reply, instead of spreading this vague fear, should be your first place on the leaderboards

Again here  :


You will lose your money 100% once you start playing for real money.


Simply because of TD AND BOTS witch can be made in more/less than 1 hour to cheat and bypass everything in the game.


The Owner is not protecting his players or telling them the truth so i've created this thread for this reason.


Im sure some devs from this forum will support this, if BOTS can be controlled than trust me LOTS of online business owners will be making GREAT multiplayer games and google wont even need a captcha .

Simple rule : Anything on the client side can and will be hacked.

So yh its a good game if NO real money included .... Becarefull!


I'm done & You decide .


A simple cheat will be posted here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warning-multiplayer-bomberman-clone-do-not-play-for-real-money-1260823  (if i have enough time  )

I loss my all money pls give again 100 satoshi
