Hi all!
I was wondering if a few of you might want to try out my new online game
here... GEEKSLOTS!
http://saulysw.servepics.com/Geekslots/frmSpin.aspx
Which I wrote in ASP.NET. I have not written a help page yet, so I guess it
needs some explaination! What you need to do is build a computer from parts,
and then sell it for profit. You have 4 parts at a time to consider (top
right), and your system below. You must buy at least one part from the 4
each time, before you get new parts - or start a new system. Some things are
optional, like a second hard drive or cd, but add quite a lot to the value
of a system if you put items there. Note that some items actually make your
system worth LESS than what you paid for it. Also, there are bonses if you
get multiple items, similar to a 4 reeled slot machine. You get paid in a
nominal currency called "Geekpoints" and you are rated to see how big a geek
you are! Sounds confusing, but if you play it for a few minutes I think
you'll get the hang of it. How much of a geek are you?? Find out!!
I have realised that this benefits from a fairly large screen. If you are
running at less than 1024x786 you will probably not like it much. Anyway...
all an any feedback welcome!
Once I've tweaked this a bit, I'll make the code downloadable on my web
site...

ps. This is running off my home PIII server on a cable connection in
Australia, so if it gets loaded it's likely to be fairly slow, and I might
even have to kill the site if it gets too popular!
Regards,
Saul
