total rubish

This is harder than it looks at first. Very easy to blunder onto the wrong dot.

famisamis:

I will take your suggestion, and reset the scores before too many play it.

I thought the game was stupid at first, but the dot placement does make it different from the other US state game(s).

Thanks for the feedback, and I will delete that other game, which actually is really lame.

I think you should reset the high scores and keep this game published.

The way the dots are arranged provide a unique challenge. It's a good game.

I think the general consensus on the site is that if the game is changed the scores should be reset. I think I haven't been very good about this sometimes. In fact, I didn't even think about it until someone suggested it in another game. My changes were little so I didn't think about it. But, I reset them now when I make changes.

If you want to play some well-made games, look for ones by David (the site creator). Doffa and niklas have made some good ones as well...and that's only naming a few. There are a lot of quality games here and it's easy to find ones where the creators really take it seriously. They really try to do their research and make sure it's a playable game.

I have no idea whether other people are cheating. I don't think they are, at least not on a large scale. Maybe somebody has, but not most people.

On the other hand, it does raise a question: If you retool a game (perhaps in response to comments from other users who suggest additions), should you reset the scores? It would be natural not to: adding one or two points doesn't seem like much. But it certainly could make a time difference.

And I agree with you: for me, being first isn't the point: I just enjoy the games. But I know that some people are very competitive. If you change a game in this way, are you making it unfair in the sense that people play at different times?

My question to you now is:

Should I reset the scores here, since I obviously did cheat?

Comment given by famisamis

Fair point.

Does that mean you think other game creators are cheating? I think it would be obvious now especially with the point you're making here. I think for the most part people are honest about it. Besides, being first place isn't always the point. It's just a game anyway.

you make good points, though.

In other words, my "high score" is meaningless.

And yes, I'll delete this game in a couple of days.

Or at least, I'll reset the scores. I actually kind of like the game otherwise.

How to get the all-time high score in your game:

1) Create the game, putting in only one dot.

2) Publish the game, and play it.

3) Unpublish the game, and add the rest of the dots.

4) Republish the game.

Okay. I'll bite again.

How'd you do it in one second?

Can you do it any faster?
