Have the high scores automatically come up`
« on: January 15, 2009, 12:45:04 PM »
It would be great if the high scores would automatically come up without having us to post screen shots which, for me anyway, is annoying.

I know it will probably be quite difficult and as some of the games aren't immediately on the site there are just links it probably wont happen.

However for the future I think this would be sooo great.

On this website their arcade section is quite cool, I would use it more but don't really no anyone on it and couldn't be bothered to get to know people. If you want an invite so you could have a look at it ill be happy to provide one

Let me know what you think.


ooh also maybe if there was an arcade tab at the top  :)

We considered the arcade option as some of us play it over on PPForum.  Personally I always feel like I am in the cellar when I'm in the arcade and the games are very limited so we have decided against it. 

The arcade section here is a bit of fun really, something to do when it is quiet and the score board came after people had started posting screens.  There is a very light and quick piece of screen-capture software called Quick Screen Capture v3.0.0 which is quite easy to find... and takes the chore out of taking screenshots of your score.  You are also active in the thread so other people can see you're playing, and for me that makes it more interesting especially when you are the highscore holder.

If enough people wanted, it could be installed anytime and instantly so we'll keep it in mind.

Thanks for the input AKKDHOLI.

I just use Alt+PrntScrn to get a screenie of the browser then I paste it into Irfanview.  Then I crop it, paste it in Irfanview again, and save it.  Next I upload it to my imagehoster of choice (typically photobucket or imageshack).

Voila (देखा).

yeah i saw you mentioned quickscreen capture on another thread and already downloaded, hopefully that should be good  :)

But yeah I guess this way its more personal and i dont mind as long as the creen capture thing is good, any good recommended sites for uploading images, currently using imageshack but its a bit slow.

Hopefully when the site gets a bit bigger that may have to be implemented cause of all the people that would be playing the games but its all good for now ;)

dweez that software I mentioned is way easier than that.  You can run it in the background and use a rectangle tool to select an area, and it automatically makes a wee image for you.  Name it, up it, post it and Voila

I use SnagIt 8. I have always used it and I will continue on, because it is really useful.  ;)
I always still use it sometimes in the forum games.

What does a mental not look like, is it akin to the trucker's hitch?

apple-shift-3 FTW

Ok, took your advice and bought a mac to take screenshots, but I'm finding it a bugger to network to my PC :-\

Fibber. It couldn't be easier.

... just give us a screenshot of the issue, and I will troubleshoot.

They just aren't getting along :-\

Everything.

Even the sun shines brighter.

But only out of certain orifices.

Everything?  Please explain, I'm gonna buy a new computer.  And I want to make an informed decision!!  lol

It's all about what you personally need from one?  I use PCs for just about everything these days but I had a mac when I was runnning my recording studio for a few beneficial reasons.
