Hello all

My idea is a better hangman for vB than the existing one from Erwin. It would be a nice feature for everyone who changes from WBB to vB.

The hack from WBB works the following way.

In admincp the administrator can define, in which area he wants his users to create new hangman games. every member of the board can now start a new hangman in this area.
for doing so a new button "new hangman" is created. now the user can define a word and the maximum number of attemps. If he is finished, a new thread is created in this area.

If another user opens this thread, the games starts. If the users solves the game, a new post with the text:

user xy solved the game. the word is : xyz

otherwise a post is created with the following text:

user xy tried to solve the game. he found 4 correct letters.

if a user solves the game, the thread is closed automatically, otherwise another user may try to solve the game. this goes on until a users finds out the word.

So the first post could look like this :
--------------
user xy created a new hangman game. If you want to play klick this link <link to game>
----------------

if the users klicks on the link, he comes to the hangman game.

Another nice feature would be, if solved game would automatically be moved to another area named "solved hangman games"

So the administrator would have to create two areas " hangman games" and "solved hangman games"

I would be really happy if anyone would code this nice feature for vB 3.5, because in the existing hangman, only the admin may add new words for the users. I think my hangman would be more interesting for the users

yours

sounds good Markus, but I have to admit being dissapointed - from the title of your thread I'd imagined a real man being hung, live on webcam. my bad.

*ggggg*

wbb is seldom used in english speaking countries although there are language packages available.

it´s a nice add-on and interesting for users, because they may play with each other in my variation, and don´t just solve the administrator´s words.

probably someon will code this, I would be really happy.
