Today's Puzzle Catcher gave me some tough luck, so this is your chance to beat the score. Play Exploding Hypercube from the Hexagon Sky pack. Click Share after finishing this puzzle and upload it with the hashtag #puzzlecatcher pic.twitter.com/FwaGsENJRn

Think of it as fly-by-wire with an invisible bullet out in front of the visible bullet that signals an impact.

Yeah, we've seen issues with the Highest Scoring weapon pretty much forever; chasing down one issue after another but never quite squashing it.

I’ve figured out how to make a weapon explode before impact. Not a proximity explosion or a flying over head explosion, but explode half a second before any impact. This is definitely going to make for some fun new weapons!

I hear ya! What would be nice is to enter the weapon ‘zone’ and stay there until I’ve make 60+ weapons. All the other things like doing releases takes me out of the design mindset. Nonetheless, I’ll be doing new weapons all year so this will get easier :)

Cool! Game jams are new around here, so this is a fun change of pace. Super DX-Ball has all my favorite DNA-Groove tunes. :)
FYI- My new game Puzzle Catcher features new music by the same fellow, and it’s perfect. https://t.co/vxXr1Pg85Z

@mikew_blitwise The game pocket tanks takes me back, a while ago when I was 5, my babysitter would have pocket tanks on her computer and I loved it! Now I’m 13 and I’m still playing it! I love this game! 😅😍

@mikew_blitwise I’d like to say thank you for Pocket Tanks, as I have had a continuous stream of games going with my sister since it came out. ~20 years now. And she still can’t win! 😊

How many times do I have to rework the first weapon in a new pack?!?! I’m only a “little” rusty on my weapon making frame of mind. It seems like 3 redesigns and 2 rewrites thus far, but I’m almost in the groove. It’s like this every single time I start. :)

Cheers! I keep my Super DX-Ball & Pocket Tanks games on our family computer, and it seems that both get a lot more play than I expect when newer games are available. It’s fun to see my 4-5 year olds changing play from Pocket Tanks: The Paint Program to skilled tactics players. :)

Properly moving water is one of Mike's big dreams, but probably not for Pocket Tanks. We don't want to mess too much with our existing weapons and how they function.

We can’t have that. We do want competitive Pocket Tanks play and a minimum of cheating. I don’t want an arms race with hackers though, so we’ll take these one step at a time and hope cheaters don’t bring out the big guns.

Thanks! We’ll see if we can stop a few of these with simple fixes. And all these exploits is why we do not store stats or have official leaderboards. You really have to solve all these AND actively fight hackers before you are ready for trustworthy player stats.

That’s not fair play. Ugh. My brain just popped with that one. I’ll add it to the list, but fixes are not coming to mind just yet. Network play is not my department... I’m the graphics coder and gameplay guy.

New tweet by @mikew_blitwise

Oh boy. Well, this sounds like typical async game exploits. It’s expensive to send more than one data packet per turn. Some of these are trade-offs since we do not have a server that can handle lots of packet sends and micro-gamestate changes. Not sure what’s possible yet.
— Michael P. Welch (@mikew_blitwise) January 17, 2018

Link to Tweet Blitwise Profile

New tweet by @mikew_blitwise

Those kinds up mid-term server updates might get costly $$$ for an async game, and it might not even fit our network game model. I’ll make a note and see if we can add that for Move. Why do you want that for Angle and Power too?

I’m adding the patching of this glitch to my list. It’s not a super simple fix, so give us an update or two. We have many updates planned over next 6-12 months

We did not intend for player 2 to see player 1’s first shot, then let player 2 re-pick their weapons. It’s a glitch we have not patched yet.

That sounds like a request for a bunch of Online Play updates. :)
I’m all for getting Pocket Tanks ready for the next 20-30 years. We’ll keep you in the loop. And I plan to reboot the forums very soon with new mobile-friendly solution. We’ll get this thing rolling.

New tweet by @mikew_blitwise

That’s a dirty trick! I guess we better find a way to patch that. To be honest, I’m not sure exactly how to stop that from happening given how we handle async play. We’ll puzzle it out.
