Barand Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Do we score any points in today's "duck shoot"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I originally planned it, then got tired of changing my mind about every aspect of what it should do and dropped it. But having rewritten it at least twice since I reconsidered, it would be easy to add in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 There, added points. The trickiest thing was where to put the points. An independent element was my first thought but I just couldn't get it placed correctly. Then I thought I could stick it in the element itself, but the scaleX that it's doing was reversing the text. Couldn't override the transform: property no matter what I tried - then I accidentally discovered I could transform:inherit which would either scaleX(1*1) or scaleX(-1*-1) and resolve the problem. I have now spent multiple hours on this. All that for just one day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I would have done something boring like change the site to say "ASP Freaks". Or "Python Freaks: Where Whitespace Is Important".

Barand Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 I see you have also increased the difficulty level and got them all breeding like rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Yup. Clicking spawns one immediately and another after a few seconds. Also fixed it so you can't click the same one multiple times for extra points. (animals spawn automatically up to a limit and only if the tab/window is open, and despawn automatically after a few minutes) Unrelated: someday I need to put a Konami code easter egg on here.

Barand Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 I give up. Just getting towards a 500 score when I accidentally clicked the Activity tab - back to zero!. I know, I should get a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I should put like a bomb in there, something to get penalized for clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 With all the effort you are putting into this it sounds like more than just an April 1st event. Christmas with elves, reindeer and santas perhaps? Easter eggs and bunnies? Thanksgiving turkey shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yeah, I don't want to set too much of a precedent in terms of event quality. Bombs, and I could put the total score in a cookie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

requinix Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Oh damn, PHP Freaks: Battle Royale would have been a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
