Re: Hoopy Casino
Looks like that trippy bgs tunnel might have some Vegas appeal in it. I'll try make something better out of it then.
How about the market? Should something be done about it? It's known to be easily exploited, but then again it's clearly intended to be exploitable. Should it be toned down a bit? Maybe put some limiter to the quantities or something? At some point it needs to be rewritten for 1.82 anyway.
I'm also itching to make more games. That Crown and Anchor game looks interesting, but it has a betting system that requires a lot of head scratching to make it work intuitively. In par with Hoops would be Heads and Tails, but that's a bit boring as the odds are so simple. And maybe at some point there will be Video Poker. If only I had more time...

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: Hoopy Casino
Maybe it could be done by a simplified version of the F8 trading screen? The player could buy bets at C*10 (or C*100, or whatever) a go against a list of the six "commodities". Once the bets are placed, the dice are rolled and the player wins or loses accordingly.spara wrote:I'm also itching to make more games.

Re: Hoopy Casino
Like that Idea disembodied, kind of horse/dog race betting.
What about a one armed bandit slot machine? Ships flying loopings, slowing down and if three of the same kind stop in front of you, you win?

Gladiator combat: Use the combat simulator code to spawn a fight between two ships (eg Krait vs Mamba) above the planet's surface. The player is simply a spectator, watching from an observation window in the casino. Place bets on who will vaporise the other.Amah wrote:Like that Idea disembodied, kind of horse/dog race betting.
