New Mac OS X Gridrunner Version 0.9.26

gravy · Post by **gravy** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 1:53 pm 0

Phew, this was quite a biggy cos it involved upgrading my web server to a lot of new versions of server software, learning some crypto stuff and learning how do mac UI code as well.

Done
+ Same binary for full and demo version
+ Software registration in and working
+ Slightly faster and consistent speed during long play
+ High score info moved off of my ADSL onto a decent server
+ High score page spruced up a lot
+ Can only activate Turbo Nutter Moder in menus, not in game

Problems
- Select name in slot screen go left arrow b0rked
- Game complete screen for demo same as full version

Todo
* Write prefs via the apple prefs API and virtualise so will work on windoze
* Web back end for pay pal and sending out reg emails
* Stats for each registered player
* Per level stats
* Play analysis
* Last 10 unregistered games

Keys
* Apple Q quit
* Q quit game
* A turbo nutter mode (only during front end)
* S stats

This is awesome. The connectedness of it now, HSTs on the Web and such, is fantastic

Gnn. Plateau'd out for a while now. Level 16 keeps kicking my fucking teeth in and even if i get past that there's level 17 waiting, snickering evilly and carrying a massive crowbar.

Time for a break

Cheers Super Charlie, there's a bug in SQL query that's filtering out all unregistered games on this version from the high score table. The data is in the database, just not getting fetched.

I'll have a look at later on today

Where/how do I register? Can I do it through Paypal?

edit oops. I guess I should've run the app first.

Argh, my pitiful 470K score is pathetic.

matt had a good point on irc, maybe the top 20 HST should only show each player's highest score... or else someone with a good RB can just have a load of goes and push everyone else off...
