A dozen stupid games!

some simple games I made:

Balls is most fun.
React is interesting for testing your reaction.
All games have a working highscore so we can see who is the best reactor/greatest idiot (Idiot game!)

edit: url updated

Its got an overall cool graphical style.

It reminds me of the wario ware/ brain game games on the Nintendo DS.

I think it would be a good idea to add some loading animations when the screen stays blue for a second or two.
(I let it write to my hard disk)

I got $2008 in IDIOT. If I understand correctly your gonna send me this money or am I being an IDIOT?

Didn’t work here. The screen got black for about 2 minutes, after which I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL it.

WinXP, java 1.6.0_02, GForce 4 Ti4200

That was good fun :slight_smile:

Cas :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comments!

congratulations, you won with your 2008 points, well done!
The graphical style is a ‘plugin’ which affects standard components like title/highscore/pause screen as well as in-game parts like text font/background and sound style. For example, Tron has the ‘oldschool’ plugin, so all sounds are modified by a saw wave, the titlescreen looks pixelated and the gui looks different. I did this because I hardly got something finished because I couldn’t decide for colors/design in a game, now I dont have to worry about it anymore and can change the design/graphical style of all games with a mouse click.

sorry, no idea why. At least it can’t be the graphics card (because of software rendering). Maybe something with the fullscreen mode… hm… should start windowed if it can’t find a suitable res.

More silly than stupid, I thought! ;D
(has anyone managed to get under 0.3s for React2?)

Pretty cool actually. I like the look of the interface ;D

Very nice style… like it!! Gave up on $80 on Idiot tho… May go for the 2008 record at work tomorrow to impress my colleagues (not!)

added 2 more games:

  • Othello (reversi game with CPU opponent)
  • Collapz (something like a collapse clone, best game so far)

the current idiot ranking;
1 CroCop 2504
2 IRREVERSIBLE KEV 2008
3 Nick Olsen 1227

Bug reports are welcomed, was EricD the one and only not to be able starting it?
I logged successful: linux, win2000, winxp, vista but NO mac yet :-\

The idiot ranking seems to max out at 2147483647? Cannot get any higher?

  • Clicking “never” in reply to the data files thing doesn’t stop it asking the question next time :slight_smile:
  • In Minesweeper, pressing the right mouse button doesn’t mark a bomb for me.
  • In Othello, when I won a game, it didn’t allow me to add a high score, and seemed to
    report the score as -32.

Overall a great selection of mini games. Well done.

Cheers, Tim.

Thank you very much for testing!
I removed the “never” button, otherwise I had to store some info on disk and thats impossible if the user doesn’t want it, hinthint :wink:
In Othello the score was decreased by 1 per second, resulting in a negative score, I removed that. Actually coding Othello was faster than winning it once, so I didn’t test it :slight_smile:
Hm, no right mouse in Minesweeper for you, I have no idea why…
Will add some more games soon.

edit: here is an applet version:
http://www.emaggame.com/

:o Cool games. I always like to play such game - no time consuming and played when you want to play it :slight_smile:

Dear nice links…yes, nodoubt many links are full of such a stuppid games…some game are less duration like 2 or 3 minuts…and some games are based on single players…But this this how possible specially those people who like to spent more and more time with playing games…

Did not expect it but it was actually entertaining. I like the math game.

thanks, I will improve the math game the next days.

Added two more games: Sticky and Sudoku (including solver/edit mode), removed all incomplete games and improved the engine and most old games.

edit: Plop! is also a new game

Hello again!

  • polished Collapz a lot, worth a look
  • changed resolution from 640x480 to 800x600 (looks better on my new 24" monitor…), I hope that it still runs with 60 fps for most users.
  • added “Save the Iceball”, not really worth a look
  • replaced “Calc” by a new/better version, no need to use a keyboard or cheat with a calculator anymore
  • some minor improvements

Any feedback welcomed

hi :slight_smile:

added:

  • Match3
  • This is Sparta!!!1111 (warning: superstupid)
  • Blind Shot (worth a look, I stole the game idea from… hm… I don’t know anymore)

and a fractal-IFS demo which can’t be done in Flash (yet), 500 000 points calculated in realtime (60 fps here). Suitable for a benchmark check.
I removed the generation of some pictures in the applet version because of lack of memory (thank you, 64MB restriction)

I removed and improved here and there.
This is what the main menu in the applet version looks like:

Tron is now 8-multiplayer and there is TronII with bonus weapons.

Please let me know if and how it killed your browser.
