Which version do we play: AC2008 edition or regular?

Which version do we play: AC2008 edition or regular?

Regular, AC2008 is for 2 players (I think).

[ThorN]

Disagree AC 2008 is the competition version

[ThorN]

5487, sorry for the missunderstandings. This score scored with the AC 08 Version, which was made for a competition, so I think it's the best to use it

[christos]

Fair enough, but I guess Marskilla is the best person to ask .

[Marskilla]

Well, PicrosST -full edition- is more a 2 players cooperative game. But it has also a score record management.
The thing is : it's only available when the first 99 puzzles have been solved

I think the ac2008 edition (which has been made especially to "sort" people during a tournament) is the best edition to play for a offline tournament. Furthermore, the score will be written on a (easily) encrypted file.

Last, but not least, the ac2008 edition is much more stable than the full edition (which has a new release today and will have more)

So I'd recomand "full edition" to practice and to play with a friend, "ac2008 edition" for the tournament.

If there is a lot of players who will play this tournament (I won't, too much practice... ) I'll give here the algorithm used to calculate the score on the "ac2008 edition"...

Waiting for your answers,

Marskilla

PS: I made a link on the rss feed of picrossST for this tournament ( http://picrossst.free.fr/news.rss )

[christos]

Ok, I guess I had the two of them confused . Thanks for adding us to the RSS and thanks for the effort put into this game .

[Xerus]

5263, good game for all aspects !

[Strider]

My high score is 5591, very addictive game I must admit

I meet some problems with my Mega STe and my Ultimate Ripper, so no screen capture for the moment...

[ThorN]

Hi Strider, welcome at the STOT, I think it's your first score you post.

Picrosst is really a nice game, and I spend some hours more than exspected on Sunday playing the game. I think it would be fine if it would work under (my) mint (installation) and the cursormovement could be a little bit mor smoth, to easier draw longer lines

[Strider]

Hey Kradd, I've the same problem with the mouse because I don't use a real Atari mouse. I use a Logitech one which has more precision, according to PicrossST's author it's best playing with the Atari mouse. Or use an utility to speed down the mouse

[ThorN]

My actual score is: 5694, it's still disappointing, that Ice-man ist still in front of me

[Xerus]

Great score kRadD, may be your first victory?
My actually score: 5604.
A cross can remove points or only time is important?

[Xerus]

5711
kRadD don't give up !

[ThorN]

He I'am

5711

[Xerus]

The same score, the first equality of STOT?
Perhaps this is the maximum?

[ThorN]

it's even a tripple equality, cause the ootb score of icemann is also 5711. 5711 is also a cologne demo crew (according to 4711 original cologne water, a very famous german brand)

[Xerus]

It was not the maximum, your turn now

[Xerus]

Here my final score for the round 21:
5760

[christos]

950.. No pic... It's impossible to play it with an eiffel and a M$ usb mouse. I just gave up
Congrats xerus... again

Xerus: 5760.
kRadD: 5711
Strider: 5591
Christos: 950

next round comming up... (need to update the STOT statistics... kRadD: Don't yell!)

[Xerus]

Thank you Christos

[Mr.JT]

Looks like I'm a bit late, but thought it was worth recording the score anyway...

I was flipping useless, however my girlfriend was far too good. She score 5641 on her 2nd go - without even doing a nonogram before?! She has no interest in entering the competition so I will claim her score as my entry...

[ThorN]

Hi JT & gf

your post was unfortunately to late, so we can't let it in the scoretable. But at the moment we play another round with Nuclear Waste Dump, which is also very female player compatible, so it would be great if you two could participate.

Will download the game and give it a go - when is the deadline?
