Fireworks Lobby

[Amy]

I just coded the fireworks lobby for 1.0. It's a lot less buggy than in previous versions.

For example, now the waiting for X more players thing works.

So does the highscores menu.

The in-game highscores menu will be updated INSTANTLY. You can click it immediately after leaving a fireworks game to see your position on the leaderboard. The top scores are cached serverside, and if a score is older than 24 hours it's removed (so it won't have a reset time like the one on the main site).

There's one more thing I haven't finished with it, but I'll do that after I've coded fireworks (which will take less time than the lobby for weird reasons).

Sweet! I mean you could do better in fireworks

Thanks for the updates Amy! Very excited for this. I have been waiting for the highscores ingame!

That wasn't just a test score... that's around my average ;_;

Oh, I am deeply sorry. :P It's ok I'd be lucky to make 5000 in FW lol

Same, you can look at my high scores, only one is above 5k and idk how.

Love love, and....love!

Now all that is left is the top 3 thing and the fireworks going off in the background stuff...

So, if the "Waiting for X more players" thing is working in 1.0, does that mean we will no longer be able to play a game alone? It's been really nice not having to wait for other people to join a game, especially during times when there's hardly anyone else online.

I'm wondering this as well.
In fact, I never noticed that it doesn't work o_x.

If ExtremelyScarySky comments first on another development thread, I vote for a community ban.

The slow times are what scares me if this works...like when I'm the only awake one in a lobby.

I think VMK waited for 5 players.. across ALL instances. I would go to an empty instance and wait to start.. the game was more in sync when in a empty lobby, and we eventually had to come in 2nd place and be the closest to 240,000 for magic.

We can no longer play games alone? :/

I didn't say that, the thing was there because it was demonstrating that the thing was working. I'll probably make instance #1 require at least 3 players (maybe 6 depending on how many people are online at the time), and the others 1.

Thank you so much, Amy. That's awesome.
