popEmUp

This is my take on an already existing game. dont know what the original name is. I saw it on an iPhone, and looked for it on the internet, but i could not find it. so i made my own.. just because i can!  😛

Rules are simple.

Setting: You will see 4 different colored balls – red, green blue and orange.

Interaction: This game is driven by mouse clicks.

Objective: Try to pop as many balls as possible. Balls can be popped only if 2 or more balls of the same color are adjacent to each other, either horizontally or vertically.

Scoring: Scoring is exponentially proportional to the number of balls that are popped at a time. This means popping more balls will give you exponentially higher score.

How to play: Click a ball. This will simply select all the balls that will be popped and show you the score you will get from that. The Selected  balls can be clicked again to pop them. You will see the score being added on the top right.

Misc: On the right of the game, you can see a leader board, which is the ranking of scores made by other people. you can submit your score after each game when the Submit button pops up.

rating.Calculate();

umm.. how to find weighted rating for levels??..

so figured out this.. with help of google ofcourse…

weighted rating(WR) =  (v / (v+m)) * R + (m / (v+m)) * C

where:
R = average for the levels(mean) = (Rating)
v = number of votes for the level= (votes)
m = minimum votes required to be listed in top 10(currently 5)
C = the mean vote across the levels

ummm. confusing.. maybe.. but will use it.

avatarAnimationTest();

this is a sample animation created with AS3 code..
it has two frames which were initially empty.
usually,in Flash, you can not add “stuff” to specific frames in timeline using code, but there is a work around.. and this is the test of that work around.

this is going to help me in animating the avatars.
