The stats page:
http://fermat.winbolo.us/bolo/stats.asp
now has a dropdown where you can select a timeframe... So you can learn even more useless facts, like that Brando has played 13.3 hours in 51 official games over the last 2 weeks.
Enjoy!
Very cool.
Note of mention:doubleballs is tied with Chew Toy 3 as the most popular map of the last seven days. Go doubleballs!
Wow ! Very interesting Fermat ! Good idea :D
Fermat, are you calling me fat? is that what this is about...you sick fuck...*cries* now I'm going to go shoot myself up with some random drug, proabably cocaine/heroin...I hope your happy!
Fermat, one feature i would like to see is who did "best" in a game.
Like, and MVP, perhaps a list of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ect. It would be all of the pills taken/lgms shot/bases/tanks ect averaged into one, probably with some sort of points system, because certain things are harder than others, rather than taking a base be more important than sniping an lgm. (Of course, if this is too hard, you could just hae an MVP for each action)
Also, when bolo becomes more automated (like the starcraft game setup system) at the end, people can vote on who suxed the most and who roxed the most, and then it could be compared with the real stats, which would be neat)
So, after the game is over, a screen comes up showing your awards (best lgm sniper, second best pills, ect.) and your voted helpfulness to your allies, along with everyone else's in some sort of table.
Ahem, anyway, this would be super-neat, and would make it like all the other computer games out there... more interactive and fun.
YES, AUTOMATION FOR TEAMS, KICKING, AND AWARDS FOR EVERY GAME WOULD BE COOL (EXCEPT OPENS)
*WINK WINK* ELVIS
-Q :D
Bolo and it's clones are what they are because they're not "the same as every other game out there". Lots of people here are wanting to turn WinBolo into their favorite game.. why? Believe it not Bolo is not the only two deminsional tank game out there, kids. Go to some random game site and pick out any tank game and you will have every single inclusion and addition that has been posted on this forum.
I agree. Automation would be great and I've even tried developing a IRC system of creating teams but as others have pointed out it this would't be as simple as it looks. The point I'm trying to make with my last few posts have been that even with automation or random generation, things still won't always work out perfect. On another note, I think the fact that people debate or argue during games is a part of Bolo.. you take that out and you have nothing but tanks moving on an island (imagine WinBolo without IRC or WBN).
Theres a few cool 2d tank games I've came across over the past few months and all of them have the same features (traintrax excluded) that have been mentioned in the forums. I'm not saying WinBolo wouldn't be better without this inclusions (not saying it would either), I'm just stating my opinion that Bolo has made it for around fifteen years and still continues to grow because of what it is.. different.
"SnowBolo", on the other hand..
