That's a really nice idea. The downside IMO is not really a downside because that tactic wasn't really useful in the first place. What happens when the point under the home point gets destroyed? I think it should be able to get destroyed, but shouldn't cause you to now be able to respawn. Maybe if ...

I won't code it now because it's hard to code but I might add capture the flag

The upside is it gives guns an actual use because you need to escape back to your own base and can escape on a glider stream.

The downside is no more throwing gliders/spaceships at the enemy's base to make it explode ...

I see, seems like guns are no use in this game

They are cool to make though. Did you think about the suggestion I sent you in a private message?

Low period guns produces denser streams, which are much more easy to climb. Actually, instead of shooting stuff down, most of the time a glider ...

Low period guns produces denser streams, which are much more easy to climb. Actually, instead of shooting stuff down, most of the time a glider causes an explosion, potentially towards the glider source.

"potentially towards the glider source" - so I'd say protect your base with random ...

1) yes it did, maybe low period guns are better in this game

4 players against each other or in teams?

I could do it, it would just be lots of work.

Teams could be interesting, but I was at first imagining all players against each other. Couldn't you just reuse the code for the new players?


yes, I don't have to rewrite the whole code but I have to ...

You don't gain any more blocks after you have 20

Makes sense. Do you think you could make a 3 or 4-player version of the game or would the host not allow that? I think that could make it more interesting and fast-paced.

1) yes it did, maybe low period guns are better in this game
2)You gain half a block every turn

But I wasn't gaining any while I was sitting idly on one of the queen bees' supporting blocks.

Thanks for your patience btw

No problem. I really did enjoy the game. I will try and make something ...

finally we finished a game the way I intended it to work

Yes. Two things:
1) I think my Gosper glider gun actually helped you because you could jump from glider to glider towards my home point.
2) How do you gain blocks? I realized that I was gaining some as I was constructing the GGG.

This time I made it.
Edit: Good game.

I think that was the longest game I ever had. I can't compare you to others.
Sadly, the host thought the app was idling and shut down the server. If you know a better free server host, tell me.

That's too bad. I'm ready to play again. Did you catch what I was trying to do?

I calculate the cells seperately from the players, so i think that bug is not possible. However, if the cell you are on dies, you survive if you move away the next turn.

About enter freezing the game, the timer doesn't update anymore if you press enter. However, that can indeed be confusing ...

I think I might have found a bug. The cell you're on doesn't count towards the neighbour count or doesn't evolve. I'm not sure which.
Edit: Pressing enter freezes the game.

yes, there's currently a game going on though

Do I have to wait for it to end? I tried joining it and pressing c does nothing.


When you are not playing, pressing c returns you to somwehere near the middle of the grid, it only does something after you moved a bit with the arrow keys.

You ...

First of all, welcome to the forums!
You certainly can. Is there a link to it?

I edited the post, now there's a link

The link is http://on-top-of-cgol.herokuapp.com/
It supports chrome and firefox

Edit: this reply is unnecessary because I also edited the post. Staf, feel free to delete.
