Dead Flip beta tests Whoa Nellie with fresh Stern code update fixing shooter lane bug
Jack Danger delivered new code to fix a bug where ball bouncing back into shooter lane ended the ball
high confidence · We discovered a bug in this game yesterday, where if the ball bounced back into the shooter lane and bounced off the shooter rod and went back into the trough, it ended your ball. Jack Danger, the programmer over at Sam Stern, showed up ten minutes ago, dropped off new code, and it's fixed.
Code update also fixed 'a couple of other little things' and appears stable
high confidence · He also said he fixed a couple of other little things and that it looks stable, but if there's any weirdness, we'll just put the old code back on just in case.
Replay value is set at 3,000 points and is difficult to achieve
high confidence · And honestly, 3,000 isn't easy to hit...Yeah, but through setting the game apart, it's like, ah.
Code updates on Stern's new platform (SPICE/Spike system) are very quick using USB/SD card delivery
high confidence · They're actually really quick. Is it just the new SD card you dump in? Well, no, it's USB, but he actually dropped through with a new SD card, just so we could instantly slip it over.
