The score added to the winner is randomly // more than 3 and less than 7 points instead of a single point. // Just to increase adrenaline :P // · Added 'winning score' (optional) When a player reaches this score, // he wins the game and the score board is cleared for a new start. // · Added 'top players' (optional) Only shows best top n players in // the score board, but the whole score board remains in memory. // // description: // Multiplayer hint/scramble game (v1.1) for AmIRC. // // The scrambler gives out an answer and a question. The answer // is displayed scrambled to the players and the question is // clear. The first one to find the answer receives a point. // For entering the game, the player just needs to answer a question // and win a point. That puts him in the score board and in the game. // No other operations are required. The score board clears whenever // the scrambler wants it, or when 'timeout loss' or 'score melting' // throws away all of the players, or when a player reaches // 'winning score' (wins the game). // // The game starts and ends when a player answers correctly. However, the // score board remains in memory. There are also a few tricks to make it // more interesting and more active like 'timeouts', 'score melting' and // 'bonus round'. Also an ability to show only the best players in the // score board instead of all of them. // Public displays are very few making it more compact and fun without // flooding the channels. // // usage: // Put Hint.amirx in AmIRC:Rexx/ // /ALIAS Hint /RX Hint // // /HINT answer : question [-n] // answer: The answer to be displayed scrambled.
