Arrow count

[Ryusei_]

Okay, so....I doubt this will get much popularity.....

But I was here talking to one of my friends and I mentioned something about hitting tens of thousands of colorful arrows a day...And it dawned on me about how true that really was. And then I got this great idea.

An arrow count.

Something like total score but it merely adds all of the arrows you've ever hit.

Just a thought o.o

Re: Arrow count

well... if you assume you only get perfects, ever... you could just take your GTS and divide by 1550... although that clearly isn't the case.

Erm, yeah Ryusei_ doesn't have a half bad idea there... That's actually pretty good.

Re: Arrow count

Assuming you get about the same number of misses and boos, you can count this with WhatPulse.

Re: Arrow count

Yo, I LOVE this idea. It's so simplistic yet so satisfying. Whoops, alreading sounding like a sales pitch =\

Anyway, would this be hard to implement? It'd be a nice addition for the new FFR siggies. I guess you'd start recording at midnight each day and have a running count of the number of arrows?

Hmm, I just realized that this might actually be hard to implement

Re: Arrow count

Seriously?
I would think it would be as simple as adding in an accumulator in the sub that handles arrow-timing recognition. Except for in the boo/miss part, where it wouldn't accumulate.

Re: Arrow count

This is a pretty good idea but why not expand it into a kind of database where you can see each of your hits. Here's an example to demonstrate my point.

Pichu_XP's Records
Perfects: 7331
Goods: 1337
Almost: 101
Boos: 1235
Misses: 81321

Something similar to that.

Re: Arrow count

A long time ago, I wanted to get an estimate of this stuff for myself, so I played 10 levels that I thought would represent what I'd done (with handicaps on some for when I was bad at this game), and multiplied by my games played/10.

Right you are!

Why do you even bother posting?

Re: Arrow count

i know its a lil out there but if u use whatpulse only when playing it will keep an exact account of keys hit

Re: Arrow count

That is a great idea.

Re: Arrow count

Re: Arrow count

Yeah I used to use WhatPulse for games... my forums had a team on WhatPulse and everything. We had like 360 billion something keystrokes and like 120 billion clicks.

Since all you have to do is click to start the game, you can turn it on and off for when to count keystrokes, but make sure to follow instructions on clearing your bin, because it'll empty out all your data.

I could get into my C book and see what I could do in counting perfects/goods or for SM or R2 Marvelous/O.K.!s if I could get it to recognize flash. I should have no problem with StepMania, but you may need to incorporate a counter into the flash games itself
