Farkle Updates
Hi everyone,
Thanks to the efforts of Razmael, the code for Farkle has been rewritten from the ground up. This makes it much more robust and able to be set up properly in new locations without having to duplicate large amounts of code.
We have approved and implemented some orgreqs in the past for Farkle that have been converted to the new system, but we are now formally accepting orgreq submissions for adding tables to locations.
There are a handful of changes that came with the rewrite:
- Farkle now supports CONFIG SCREENREADER mode.
- To initiate a game, you now PLAY FARKLE.
- Anyone wanting to join must also PLAY FARKLE within 30 seconds, before the game begins.
- There is now a two minute timer for having a turn.
- If you exceed this time, you'll forfeit any turn points and it'll go to the next person's turn.
- The game can now have any number of players playing at once at the same table.
- FARKLE HIGHSCORES can be checked from anywhere.
-Three new scoring rules were added:
* a Full House, needing 6 total dice. 4 of one number, 2 of another.
* Three Doubles, e.g. 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5.
* Six of a Kind.
HELP FARKLE has been updated with the new information where appropriate.
Enjoy!
Penned by my hand on Tisday, the 25th of Lleian, in the year 498 MA.
