SainT Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 My son and I played Flappy Bird tonight. He had one question, Can you unlock skins. What is it with kids and unlocking nonsense that has no effect on the game! Mobile phones have ruined everything I tell you! EVERYTHING! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonma Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 @Tonma, are you planning a more formal release? Or is there a way to tip you for your work on this? I start a new game. All tips will be welcome My son and I played Flappy Bird tonight. He had one question, Can you unlock skins. What is it with kids and unlocking nonsense that has no effect on the game! No other skins. It would only make sense if I could have different gameplay. Mobile phones have ruined everything I tell you! EVERYTHING! You're incredibly right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Mobile phones have ruined everything I tell you! EVERYTHING! Unfortrunately I must agree on this. Building relationships "swipe left, swipe left, swipe left..." Concentration on the task at hand is restricted to the max time you can be separated from your dearest "friends". The time is calculated in seconds, not hours. "Friends" equals getting quick kicks of "likes" you get to your selfies or comments on social network. "Happiness" is the number of "likes" per hour. But there may be a cure... Which one do you choose? The red pill or the blue pill? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonma Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Red pill and play with my lynx and another "real" friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Blue pill and play my Lynx until the batteries expire, then go ride my bike or read a book or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdoi Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I start a new game. All tips will be welcome good to hear that! Flappybird is a really little good game, so go on and create a new good one !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Man, this game is hard. I was playing it for half an hour last night, and I made it past maybe four pipes once! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Man, this game is hard. I was playing it for half an hour last night, and I made it past maybe four pipes once! The trick is to concentrate on the lower pipe only. I have played every cart before shipping to at least 12 points. Some carts up to 31 points in the first go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 33 is my best, although several times I've reached 33, got overly excited and stuffed it up! Just can't get past it now! This sort of game is perfect for the Lynx, just pick up and play. Great work tomna. Rgds BadPricey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're basically cruising along like a boss, then you become aware you're about to best your record, and involuntary twitch right into a pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Got my replacement cart today. This one works but I was scared it might not. The envelope was all torn and the cart exposed! Thanks again for sending the replacement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Got my replacement cart today. This one works but I was scared it might not. The envelope was all torn and the cart exposed! Thanks again for sending the replacement. I recieved mine as well (I think it came in Tuesday or Wednesday?) and the corners were poking through the envelope. You might want to at least fold it over in a sheet of sturdy paper if you're going to ship in envelopes. There is a black scuff mark on the corner edge of the cart where exposed through the envelope, but the replacement cart works fine,even if slightly difficult to insert on a Lynx I. It seems the audio has more channels too compared to the ROM demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvirtuale Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 question ....If I reach 999 points with the lynx, the same thing happens in the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHH2101OFfI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 No. The game changes by making the gap a little smaller when you reach 30 points. After that nothing changes. The maximum points is 65535 points. So it is safe to say that once you have reached 31 points you have seen it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks for the feedback with the broken covers. I will not use this envelope style anymore. There is still a set of replacement carts going out this week-end. In bubble envelopes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me you play Klax and Gauntlet the same way. I did flip the screen, just played it in the default setting. I do play Klax with the buttons on top, Dpad bottom though.

Guitari Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Many thanks for the replacement carts Karri; they both work fine And thank you for your nice message about my guitar music! By the way you can 'like' my Facebook page here www.facebook.com/ceverettguitar As soon as I have found the dead cart I will post it back to you Edited February 10, 2017 by Guitari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I will drop by on your page. In card games the mood-music in your "Realisationalism & Conceptuability" would be really nice to have. Would it be possible to use part of that theme as a background? String instruments work very well on the Lynx. Many years ago I also coded a Finnish kantele tune that my daughter was playing in her music school to one of my first games. A 1024 byte BLL game called Ottelo. It is a classic Othello clone. Listen to it and see if you can beat a Lynx intelligence of just a few bytes I am currently updating the Solitaire 25 year Lynx anniversary release with better music and perhaps also with some new games. ottelo2.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi Karri, Yes, I'll send the track through to you, use whatever you like from it. That's quite an exciting prospect to have my music feature on a lynx game! Thank you for the file; I'll download it soon and try it on the SainT cart.

Rick Dangerous Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Is this still available? I am interested in tracking down a flappy bird copy for my Lynx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite an exciting prospect to have my music feature on a lynx game! Thank you for the file; I'll download it soon and try it on the SainT cart. Thank you. I will try to be true to the original. But as I need one channel for sound effects it will be only 3 strings active at a time. Chipper has much more control over the sound than my abcmusic in the ottelo2 example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
