My game is new. I'm sure, cause it based on traditional italian game. It looks like Zyngo but very different. I'd like to know if it's legal.
On Linden Site they say that all games based on random numbers are illegal. And Zyngo?
Zyngo is based on random numbers. How can I know more? I don't want to be banned...
TY

If you have a very long chain of if/else statements, you can run into issues with some statements getting dropped silently. To fix this you can break it into nests so instead of :
if (cond == 1){
do stuff;
} else if (cond == 2){
do stuff;
} ...
you would do this:
if (cond < 10){
if (cond == 1){
do stuff;
} else if (cond == 2){
...
}
} else if (cond < 20){
...

TY i responded to your other thread. use as little random elements as possible and make sure the player interacts with the game as much as possible. some things ive learned as a game creator 1. lindens dont like instant win outcomes. my game deal or decline (based on the gameshow deal or no deal) was considered a gambling game. because the player always won a L$ amount back every game.. even thou the game actually involved a good deal of skill/stratagy to play.. 2. spinning a random event and placing it on a grid = bad. my old game zlotz (not zlotz reelz) was a game based on a random spinning of a slot symbol that you had to place on a grid of 3x3 . each line with a seperate multiplier.. but because of the major random event it was banned. 3. wilds are a good key to skill. they are basicly what determines the major outcome of the game and require the user to think about their future moves. as i said.. the more the user can control their game the better. beating a score is pretty much key to the games too. but also keep in mind.. no matter what.. the lindens have the final say.. games that are allowed now can be banned at any time.. |
