Since only 4 people I knew out of hundreds were on when I finally got in today, I decided to head to Ahern and have a look around. I couldnt believe the game when I saw it. I knew what it was right away. I was on it for about 3 hours lolol! I made it to 14,325 is that good???? WANT MORE LIKE THIS!   |

I am no longer doing much content creation (I work on bugs mostly, now), so I doubt we'll be seeing a newer version anytime soon. I was just throwing out the score-board idea, since thats doesn't seem like it would take much scripting.  Yeah, Catherine, the algorithm for determining if there is a set of 3 or more could be attacked from many different angles. I actually am using the prims themselves to do the calculations (the data-struct for the board is actually stored in the prims -- I tried using a 2d array type system but it was too slow), but they just pass on their values to the next prim below/right of it and do a simple sum (I think... its been a while). I'm sure there could be some optimizations done, but we are still limited by the speed of LSL =/. If you come up with a better algorithm that works in LSL and would like to share, lemme know . If its fast enough, maybe a timed-mode which fails out if there are no moves left would be in order.

From: Kit Proudfoot Well, if Angela doesn't keep her wits up, she'll be beat soon... nipping at her heels here! And yes, it took about five hours to achieve this.  I was there for some of this, and if you look closely at the image, you'll see bits of avs off to the scorecard side of the playing surface. Kit actually had avs sitting and dancing on the table while playing! Talk about a distraction.... Kit, did you every figure out what happened to the game? JG |

Congratulations Kit!

Awesome score! but why didn't you make that next move?
jk, you always wonder if there was one more move, hehe.
I believe this score will stand for quite a while, so your record is safe for now.

I believe this score will stand for quite a while, so your record is safe for now. With Teeny wanting to break my fingers, I hate to admit this, but... I started the game at 10 pm Dec 31st, and when I reached 100k, I decided that I was happy with the score, and wanted to get it to no moves left so I could post a screenshot that didn't have moves anymore. It took me until 2:30 am, five more levels, and 61,000 more points while I was TRYING to lose to get it to no moves left. *Chuckle* |
