Definitely don't make the game end dafter one wrong guess. At least give me some lives or something, damn. Or, better yet, just let me play to the end, then give me my score.
- PaulHoule 1y agoI feel that way. Also there are many cases where I can eliminate two choices as obviously wrong but can’t tell the difference between two similar shades. I wouldn’t feel bad getting disqualified for a gross error but when it is two shades of bluish-green it doesn’t seem fair. Another possibility is to give it more of a tournament feel where the early cases are easy and the last ones are hard so I get disqualified at 15/20 (webdev and photographer who does gfx programming for fun) but a real goldeneye could go further. 3/20 does not represent my skill.
- fsckboy 1y agothat's not really what you want, what you want is for the starting of a new game to be automatic and not require extra clicks. the way I'm suggesting (which is what the game is with extra clicks) is a game of "what's my longest streak of correct guesses" which actually makes your score look better than keeping your losses around.
- jagged-chisel 1y agoThat mechanic can be implemented without starting a new game at all. Increment a counter on correct guess, reset to 0 on incorrect, continue on through the game.
- fsckboy 1y agoyes but you also need the length of your streak displayed
- mkl 1y agoNot really. The proportion correct is more informative.
- fsckboy 1y ago"streak" as i am using it (as it is used in baseball) means "all correct, but for how long", so the proportion correct is always 100%. a "three game winning streak" means you won 100% of the last three games, and 0% of the one game before that.
