Ok, that game is starting to make me mad :evil:

Every now and again it will not register a click (specifically on 3, 8 and 13 ). I am literally watching and listening to myself click the thing and it is not registering. How in the bloody carp can I every get under 10 seconds if I have to reclick stuff :evil: :evil: :evil:

Anyway, it is a cool game Don. If it can frustrate me wanting to get a higher score than before, it is cool in my book.

L O L ! Sorry for the frustration, Everah! Don't come across the bridge with a hatchet, looking for me! Yeah, it does that to me, too, sometimes. I don't think there's much I can do about it (if someone else knows how, please let me know!). It has to do with exactly where your cursor is, and I think also with how sensitive Javascript is to the onClick event. Of course, I could broaden the target image size, which would allow a wider margin of error, but I wanted to make it require an on-target cliick. I'd have to go back and look at my image slices to confirm this, but my recollection is that I tried to allow a several pixel margin around each of those numbers. Hey, if I made it easy, it wouldn't be a challenge, right? :lol:

Hey, it is still a good game. It will be a heck of a lot better when I get under 10 seconds though. :wink:

I've also played the game and it's quite fun :) didn't get below 10 seconds because of same same reason. Maybe you can enhance your game by randomizing places where numbers will be placed, because now it's quite easy to remember. Just a suggestion :)

That is indeed a good suggestion. I have given some thought to that before, but I would have to change my strategy considerably. Right now, it's very easy (for the programmer!), because it's all based on slicing up an image. To make it randomized, I would need to rewrite it, perhaps using CSS positioning (which might work, I have thought of it, but not tried it yet). Maybe you have given me the incentive to go back and work on it! :D With CSS positioning, maybe I could even have the numbers move around the screen--oh, but maybe that would make it easier because anything moving is easier to see than something that doesn't move. Hmmm. Several possibilities there.

You really want to make people aggravated, move the image as soon as it is clicked on so that it never registers. See how long someone can go before giving them a monkey status moniker.

If moving numbers would be too easy, then try to randomize and redraw numbers after each click :D No one will expect that for sure, and I think it will be harder.
