Ikrananka Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Awesome summertime game! Thanks for choosing this one. No problem. I'm trying to balance between games that haven't been played for a while, have been requested for this season, as well as previously requested as per the games index list. I know I can't please everyone but I'll do my best to strike a balance. Plus I love Frogger Edited July 15, 2011 by Ikrananka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I used to play Frogger in the arcades so much that the music is permanently embedded in my head. Awesome summertime game!

Ikrananka Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Ikrananka: Just wondering if I should get a +3 for the quick start bonus in Jumpman? My bad Yes, you should have received the quick start bonus. I have corrected the Jumpan final scores as well as the Leaderboard shown here in this thread. I'll be more careful in the future. Thanks for pointing out my error - if anyone else spots anything wrong then please let me know and I will correct it. Hopefully, I will get better at this as I progress.

+cmart604 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Time for me to branch out from the INTV HSC and play a little CV. Yurkie's ball topped sticks work nicely for this one. 10,960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Ikrananka, I should have a gold 1 for winning season 3. Sorted. Sorry for the error. This is helping to debug my spreadsheet so hopefully once an error has been fixed it shouldn't occur again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a suggestion: Adding the players that are eligible for the quick start bonus in the first post (after the 3 day deadline). I like the idea but I can't guarantee that I'll be around to update the high scores that often and so could easily not be able to put up a player's eligibility for the quick start until the round is almost over. I'd rather player's keep track of their elibibility and I will do an end of round check myself. My reluctance is also partly to do with automation. I have setup a fairly complex spreadsheet for the scoring and tracking system but it is currently a manual entry for the quick start bonus (i.e. a Y/N box for each player). To fully automate this would mean that I would have to enter not only each players score but also the date and time of the score submission. I'm just not willing to add that additional overhead to the time I spend on this. Edited July 19, 2011 by Ikrananka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the work that Ikrananka described, if you put the score up right away after 3 days you have to remember to take it down if someone beats the score.

Besides the work that Ikrananka described, if you put the score up right away after 3 days you have to remember to take it down if someone beats the score. You will just have to compare the two list when the contest is over. I see this just as a reminder, to know who's eligible + the score to compare to the final result. I don't think it's necessary to update the quick-start list every time a new score is entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's necessary to update the quick-start list every time a new score is entered. I understand, but I will very likely be unavailable to update the list shortly after the first 3 days (I might be able to do it occasionally but not every round) - it may well be after 7 days or 10 days in which case I suspect the benefit of highlighting the eligibility will be lost.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 10,360 after 5 tries, still in last... this is my least favorite Frogger, level 3 is truly HELL. There's rarely any logs to jump on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 12,450 (pic on iphone) I thought I had made it to level 5 before. I was reading through the manual and there are only 4 levels and then 4 repeats till you run out of Frogs. I can make it to level 4 without dying, but can only manage to get 2 or maybe 3 frogs home in level 4. I love this game, just wish I could figure out level 4.
