hmmm ... how hard would it be to do a forum post game of pong?


You could have the ball and the side barriers move according to the seconds counter of your post. Maybe the first digit determines the ball, the second digit determines where the barriers go?

Or perhaps the barriers move a certain amount each post (maybe one line up or down at a time), regardless of the seconds counter, but the ball would still use the seconds counter?

^ This is an example of what the game might look like at the start. Let's just say someone posts, this is how it could move:

As you can see, the barriers moved down a line and the ball moved up. The ball could also move to the side, whichever direction it is travelling. Maybe add a direction arrow to the ball to avoid confusion?: •›

Hmm, what do you think of my idea? :)

I reported it as a bug, but thanks. They may also have moved it elsewhere. Twitter seems the way to go nowadays. Mod Ash used to post on the forums regularly but not so much anymore.
He said it's just been moved to the eastern side of Wildy near the Sawmill I believe?

@Ruby
Interesting.
Might work.
Also might be too complex for some players to get 'cause you'd need a lot of instructions.

Something like:
If your time posted = even seconds, advance the ball 1 space
If time posted = odd seconds, advance the ball 2 spaces

Saw connect 4, minesweeper, tic tac toe and a few others out. Was just sort of a random thought.
